  • Patent number: 7092250
    Abstract: A vibration-proof removable module is described. The vibration-proof removable module includes a chassis and sidewalls. The chassis further has a vibration-proof space to avoid interference between the chassis and an electrical device fixed within the vibration-proof removable module. The sidewall further has a sliding vibration absorption device to isolate the vibration-proof removable module from the vibration force and shock force of an outside environment. The sliding vibration absorption device has a vibration absorption slider and the vibration absorption slider further has leaf springs thereon. Furthermore, the sliding vibration absorption device has a vibration absorption pad therein to improve a vibration absorption effect.

  • Publication number: 20060152876
    Abstract: A power supply system for supplying power to a system load is described. The power supply system includes a plurality of power supply modules. Each power supply module includes a power-generating module, a unidirectional device, and a fan. When the power-generating module is in normal operation, the power generated by the power-generating module is sent in one direction to the system load through the unidirectional device. When the power-generating module fails, the fan is powered from a terminal connected to the system load.

  • Publication number: 20050255758
    Abstract: A blade server system includes a middle plane board and a server blade. The middle plane board includes a first connector having a number of slots and a positioning hole. The server blade includes a second connector, and by plugging the second connector into the first connector the server blade can be electrically connected with the middle plane board. The second connector includes a number of pins and a positioning stick. The pins are for correspondingly inserting into the slot, and the positioning stick is for inserting into the positioning hole. When the second connector is plugged into the first connector, the positioning stick is inserted into the positioning hole first and then the pins can be aligned with and inserted into the slots.

  • Publication number: 20050207130
    Abstract: A chassis frame is described. The chassis frame has a front panel, a backboard, and a plurality of first rigid rods. The rigid rods couple between the front panel and the backboard to enhance the structural strength of the chassis frame. A second rigid rod is utilized to link transversely two of the first rigid rods, a third rigid rod is utilized to link the front panel and the second rigid rod, and the fourth rigid rod is utilized to link the second rigid rod and the backboard. Quick connectors, e.g. U-shaped quick connectors and T-shaped quick connectors, are further utilized to link the rigid rods, the front panel, and the backboard.

  • Publication number: 20050208809
    Abstract: A foolproof mechanism for a server is disclosed for use in a blade server and/or in a similar electronic apparatus having a chassis to which with an insertion portion of a blade board is inserted and coupled horizontally and is constrained vertically. The foolproof mechanism includes a blade housing mounted on an outer side of the insertion portion, a depression structure formed on the blade housing, and an anti-moving button installed loosely in the depression structure. By gravity, the anti-moving button is automatically sunk in the depression structure while the insertion portion is inserted in a correct orientation, thereby smoothly inserting the insertion portion into the chassis; on the contrary, the anti-moving button is automatically projected out of the depression structure while the insertion portion is inserted incorrectly, thereby blocking the insertion portion from inserting into the chassis, thus preventing the insertion portion and the chassis from being damaged.

  • Patent number: 6772895
    Abstract: A casing for an electronic device and a method producing the same. The method comprises the following steps. First, a first member is formed of a first metallic material, and a second member is formed of a second metallic material. In the second member, at least one step portion is formed. Then, the casing is produced by combining the first member and the second member in a manner such that the step portion corresponds to the unit and the second member is nearer to the unit than the first member.
