An expansion card support device includes an arm configured to rotate between a closed position and an open position relative to an interior surface of a computer housing opposite from one or more interface buses. The arm is substantially parallel to the interior surface in the closed position and substantially perpendicular to the interior surface in the open position. The arm is sized so as to abut edges of one or more expansion cards retained in the one or more interface buses with the arm in the open position. The device further includes a first spring configured to rotate the arm from the closed position to the open position. The device further includes a latch configured to maintain the arm in the closed position with the latch in a latched state.

Electronic device fastening systems that enable one or more electronic devices to be reliably and quickly secured on a host board and electronic systems made of the same. In a specific exemplary embodiment, a retainer clip spans across the width of one or more electronic devices, engages with the board and snaps into place. The clip includes one or retaining posts such that when the clip engages the board, the one or more retaining posts align and engage with a predefined mounting feature of a corresponding one of the one or more electronic devices, thereby securing the electronic device in place to restrict horizontal, lateral, and vertical movement of the electronic device.

Examples of a holding device for retaining an installable component in a chassis of a computing device are described. In one example, the holding device may comprise a longitudinally extending first arm, and a movably coupled second arm. The holding device may further comprise a first engaging portion at first end of the holding device, and a second engaging portion at the second end of the holding device. The engaging portions may couple the holding device to the chassis of the computing device. Furthermore, the holding device may comprise a gripping member. The gripping member is to securely retain the installable component within the chassis of the computing device, and is movable across the length of the holding device.

The technology relates to a memory insertion apparatus for pushing memory modules into corresponding memory sockets on a circuit board. The memory insertion apparatus may include a frame and an actuation assembly coupled to the frame, and one or more cam assemblies each rotatably coupled to the frame and operatively coupled to the actuation assembly. Each cam assembly may include a central shaft extending in a longitudinal direction, and a plurality of cams each having a tip configured to engage one of the memory modules, the tip extending from the central shaft in a respective radial direction perpendicular to the longitudinal direction. A center of each cam may be offset from centers of adjacent ones of the cams by a pitch distance that is about equal to a pitch distance between centers of adjacent ones of the memory sockets.

A buckle base and buckle-fixing pin combination to be used in fixing a printed circuit board to a sheet includes a buckle base and a buckle-fixing pin. The buckle base is in a generally U-shaped form. The buckle base includes a first leg, a second leg, and a bridge therebetween. The first and second legs are connected to the bridge. The buckle-fixing pin forms a longitudinal slot therein.

A memory module operation system for operating in high stress environments with strong vibration. The application and use of a retainer to reduce and dampen the effects of system vibration and the application of dynamic loads can retain a memory module in place in a memory socket. Further, the retainer can operate to reduce the effects of electromagnetic interference and can act as a heat transport system to reduce thermal stress on components.

Support bracket and support bracket assemblies for a peripheral component interconnect (PCI) card are shown and disclosed. In one embodiment, the support bracket includes a first planar member having opposed first and second end portions, and a second planar member attached to, or formed with, the second end portion. The second planar member is perpendicular to the first planar member and is attachable to an I/O PCI bracket. The support bracket additionally includes a ledge attached to, or formed with, the first planar member. The ledge extends between the first and second end portions and is perpendicular to the first and second planar members. The ledge is sized to support an end portion of the PCI card when the PCI card is attached to the I/O PCI bracket and when the second planar member is attached to the I/O PCI bracket.

A server comprises a cabinet, a computing node and a plurality of hard disk assemblies. The cabinet is provided with a computing node accommodating slot and a plurality of hard disk accommodating slots. The computing node is assembled in the computing node accommodating slot, wherein the computing node is not provided with any hard disk. The hard disk assemblies are respectively assembled in the hard disk accommodating slots, wherein each of the hard disk assemblies has a plurality of hard disks, and the plurality of hard disk is electrically connected to the computing node.

Apparatus and associated methodology contemplating an enclosure apparatus for a solid-state device (SSD). The apparatus includes a rigid case having a wall defining an internal cavity. A surface in the wall defines one of a recess or a protuberant tab exposed to the internal cavity. A cover is configured to connect with the case in a closed position in which the cover and the case are connected together to cooperatively enclose the internal cavity. The cover defines the other of the recess or the tab, the tab sized to be removably insertable into the recess to form an articulable joint connecting the cover and the case together in the closed position.

A connector is mounted on an input-output board. The connector is interposed between the input-output board and a CPU board, and thereby a plurality of pads of the input-output board and a plurality of pads of the CPU board are respectively electrically connected. The connector includes a rectangular flat-plate housing having a first positioning hole and a second positioning hole, and at least one contact row held on the housing. The first positioning hole is formed at a first housing corner part of the housing. The second positioning hole is formed at a fourth housing corner part, which is at a diagonal position with respect to the first housing corner part, of the housing.
