  • Publication number: 20070169117
    Abstract: A firmware loading device applied to a data processing device having a host circuit board and a case for receiving the host circuit board is proposed. A plurality of firmwares corresponding to the type of the case are stored in a database. A first electrically connecting unit and a corresponding second electrically connecting unit are respectively provided on the host circuit board and the case. A detecting unit serves to detect an electrical connection relationship between the first electrically connecting unit and the second electrically connecting unit after the host circuit board is assembled in the case. A control unit serves for fetch a firmware appropriate to the case from the database and load the firmware into the host circuit board according to the electrical connection relationship between the first and second electrically connecting units detected by the detecting unit.

  • Publication number: 20070114253
    Abstract: A covering member filled in a spare bay of a server having a first latch portion is proposed. The covering member includes a hollow body capable of being inserted in the spare bay, an opening formed on a side surface of the hollow body, a spring unit formed on a surface of the hollow body, and a functional unit extended from the side surface of the hollow body. The functional unit includes a second latch portion disposed corresponding to the first latch portion, a spring arm for providing resilience for the second latch portion, and an operating portion extended from the hollow body. Thus, by the present invention, a user may readily actuate the operating portion through the opening. Moreover, by the extended design of the functional unit, the number of the jointing points can be significantly reduced, thereby decreasing the fabrication cost.
