Abstract: A method and apparatus for securing a tray within a computer component rack is disclosed. The tray slidably mounted within the component rack. The tray is anchored to the component rack when in a closed position by at least one fastener. A cover is mounted a front face of the tray. The cover includes within its structure a locking mechanism, which prevents access through an access port to the at least one fastener while in a locked position, and allows access through the access port to the at least one fastener while in an unlocked position.

Abstract: An enclosure to control access to a selected portion of an enclosed electronic device is provided. The enclosure includes a plurality of access panels that are capable of being fastened in a secure position via a single fastener mechanism. The fastener mechanism is operable by an authorized individual. The fastener mechanism controls when each of the plurality of faceplates can be disengaged from the enclosure to access a portion of the electronic device.

Abstract: A PC board ejector assembly is provided for disengaging a first PC board from a second PC board in a computer chassis. The PC boards each includes at least one connector for connecting the first PC board to the second PC board. The chassis includes a divider wall. The PC board ejector assembly includes a mounting bracket positioned on at least one of the first and the second PC boards, and a disengagement member coupled to the mounting bracket. The mounting bracket is positioned on the PC board such that movement of the disengagement member engages the member against the divider wall to disengage the PC board connectors from one another and permit removal of at least one of the PC boards. A method for disengaging a PC board including a PC board ejector assembly from a chassis is also provided.

Abstract: A test stand for testing computer hardware components is provided. The test stand has a base structure. A first support arm mounts to the base structure. The first support arm has one or more apertures disposed therein to enable airflow through the support arm to avoid airflow hindrance of cooling fans during operation of the subject internal computer hardware components and when the test stand is in certain positions. A second support arm also mounts to the base structure. The second support arm has a rotation mechanism mounted therein. A support bracket for supporting the test subject computer hardware components extends between the first support arm and the second support arm. The support bracket is in communication with the rotation mechanism, such that the rotation mechanism controls and enables the rotation of the support bracket through a predetermined rotational degree range.
