PIN ASSIGNMENTS BASED ON VOLTAGE RANGES
In one example in accordance with the present disclosure, a computing device is described. An example computing device includes an integrated circuit chip having a first pin and a second pin. The example computing device also includes a conversion circuit. An example conversion circuit assigns an output of the first pin to a first voltage range and assigns the output of the first pin to a voltage value within the first voltage range based on a logical value of the output of the first pin. The example conversion circuit also assigns an output of the second pin to a second voltage range that is different from the first voltage range and assigns the output of the second pin to a voltage value within the second voltage range based on a logical value of the output of the second pin.
Elevator mechanism enabling front service of electronic chassis components
An elevator provides for lifting and disconnecting an electronic device from a chassis circuit board and the subsequent removal of the device from a chassis slot. A sliding element between the device and the slot includes tracks within which travel followers associated with the electronic device. Motion in a first direction the tracks causes the tracks to move with respect to the followers, raising the device away from the circuit board. In a fully raised position, the device is disconnected and may be removed from the slot. Motion in the opposite direction causes the relative motion between the track and follower to lower the device toward the circuit board. In a fully seated position, the device is connected to the circuit board.
PROTECTIVE STRUCTURE FOR INPUT AND OUTPUT PORTS
A protective structure for input and output ports at least comprises a shell having a top, a first side wall and a second side wall, inside the first side wall is provided with two first side convex ribs, a first limiting groove and a first fixing hole, the second side wall is provided with two second side convex ribs, a second limiting groove and a second fixing hole; and an outer cover with a side formed with a first side guide plate assembled in the first limiting groove and provided with a first side assembling hole communicating with the first fixing hole, another side of the outer cover is formed with a second side guide plate assembled in the second limiting groove and provided with a second side assembling hole communicating with the second fixing hole. Two locking fixtures are used to lock the shell with the outer cover.
COMPUTER HOUSING
A desktop computing system having at least a central core surrounded by housing having a shape that defines a volume in which the central core resides is described. The housing includes a first opening and a second opening axially displaced from the first opening. The first opening having a size and shape in accordance with an amount of airflow used as a heat transfer medium for cooling internal components, the second opening defined by a lip that engages a portion of the airflow in such a way that at least some of the heat transferred to the air flow from the internal components is passed to the housing.
MULTI-ROW PLUGGABLE HIGH-RADIX MODULES
A computing system comprises a module cage for containing a system board and a plurality of pluggable modules, the module cage having a front face, the pluggable modules arranged in at least two rows of pluggable module locations extending parallel to the front face within the module cage. A layered module locking system including a sliding front locking handle and a sliding rear locking handle is provided. the sliding rear locking handle extending beneath the front locking handle. The sliding locking handles each includes at least one locking feature for slidably engaging with at least one foot of a pluggable module.
DIMM COOLING ASSEMBLY WITH HEAT SPREADER ANTI-ROTATION MECHANISM
An apparatus is described. The apparatus includes a DIMM cooling assembly. The DIMM cooling assembly includes first and second heat spreaders to be respectively disposed on first and second sides of the DIMM's circuit board. The first and second sides having respective memory chips. The DIMM cooling assembly includes a heat dissipative structure. The DIMM's circuit board is to be disposed between the heat dissipative structure and a printed circuit board that the DIMM is to be plugged into. The DIMM cooling assembly includes fixturing elements to apply compressive forces toward the respective side edges of the DIMM's circuit board to the heat spreaders.
STORAGE DEVICE
A storage device according to an embodiment includes a housing, a first board, a memory, and a capacitor. The first board is housed in the housing. The memory is mounted on the first board. The capacitor is in contact with one of the housing and a second board. The capacitor is electrically connected to the first board. The second board is housed in the housing.
HPC COMPUTING UNIT COMPRISING A TOP TRAY COMPRISING SECONDARY ELECTRONIC COMPONENTS
A computing unit configured to be mounted in a HPC cabinet comprising an external body and an internal body. The internal body includes a bottom tray, bottom secondary electronic components, at least a bottom connector connected to the bottom secondary electronic components and a top tray being releasably coupled with the bottom tray. The top tray includes top secondary electronic components and at least a top connector connected to the top secondary electronic components, wherein the top connector is configured to cooperate with the bottom connector when the top tray is coupled with the bottom tray.
Modular form factor of a printed circuit board for an information handling system
An information handling system, including two or more single-slot M.2 modules; a dual-slot discrete graphics processing unit (dGPU) module; a printed circuit board, including: a plurality of M.2 connectors aligned on a same edge of the printed circuit board such that: a first single-slot M.2 module of the two or more single-slot M.2 modules is coupled to a first M.2 connector of the plurality of M.2 connectors; a second single-slot M.2 module of the two or more single-slot M.2 modules is coupled to a second M.2 connector of the plurality of M.2 connectors; and the dual-slot dGPU module is coupled to a third and a fourth M.2 connector of the plurality of M.2 connectors.
LOCK MECHANISM FOR SECURING AN EXPANSION CARD IN A COMPUTER CHASSIS
A lock mechanism for securing an expansion card in a computer chassis includes an elongated structural support, a wedge, and a channel structure. The elongate structural support comprising a first and second arm extending obliquely away from each other from a central pivot point positioned between a first and second end of the elongate structural support. The wedge protrudes upwardly from the first arm at the first end of the elongated structural support. The wedge is configured to engage with a riser card component of a riser module including the expansion card and cause a rotation of the elongated structural support about the central pivot point from an unlocked to a locked position. The channel structure extends from the second arm at the second end of the elongated structural support. The channel structure is configured to secure the expansion card with the elongated structural support positioned in the locked position.
