Example implementations relate to a host electronic device and a method of establishing a thermal contact with a removable electronic device by a cooling component of the host electronic device. The host electronic device includes a housing, the cooling component, and a plurality of flexible arms. The cooling component is movably coupled to the housing. The plurality of flexible arms extend towards an internal cavity of the housing to hold the cooling component in a first position (retracted position). Further, the plurality of flexible arms are displaceable from the internal cavity by a movement of the removable electronic device into the host electronic device, to allow the cooling component to drop down to a second position (extended position) for establishing the thermal contact with a heat generating component of the removable electronic device.

A rack-mountable computer system directs separate portions of a cooling airflow from an inlet air plenum in the computer system interior through separate air passages to remove heat from separate portions of a set of heat-producing components. The air passages can preclude a portion of cooling airflow removing heat from a component from being preheated by another component. Plenums and air passages can be established through the arrangement of components in the interior. Components can be arranged in progressive offsets throughout the depth of the interior to vary plenum flow area throughout the depth, which can progressively impede and redirect airflow through the inlet plenum into the air passages. Arrangements can include an angled row, a staggered configuration, etc. The computer system can include a chassis which can translate, while maintaining operation of hot-pluggable electronic components coupled throughout the depth, to enable swapping of hot-pluggable electronic components throughout the interior.

A carrier tray to allow rapid installment of additional modules or devices, without screws, into a computer includes a frame, two sliders, an elastic member, and a handle. A bracket of the frame has a unit cavity. The two sliders can slide along a first direction and the elastic member is compressible between the two sliders. The handle allows pushing and pulling of the tray along a second direction and is attached to the two sliders, the two sliders can move towards each other (to a first position) or apart (to a second position). The two sliders return to the unity cavity by pulling the handle from the first position to the second position along the second direction. Continued pulling of the handle in the second direction removes the carrier tray from the computer.

A cartridge module alignment and mounting system, apparatus and method for mounting of a plurality of removable modules where the modules can be densely packed within the apparatus and where physical alignment of the module is maintained during insertion and removal so that the modules are easily connected or disconnected to a printed circuit board. The system includes an alignment pin affixable to the printed circuit board, and a carrier attachable to an electronic device such as a data storage device. The carrier can include a pin bore configured to receive a portion of the alignment pin thereby removably connecting and aligning the electronic device to the printed circuit board so that a space is defined between adjacent electronic devices. The space allows airflow or fluid flow to pass therebetween increasing heat dissipation of the electronic devices and the printed circuit board.

Systems for unlocking and locking a riser cage to a computing device are described herein. Such systems may include: a riser cage in a computing device; an axis member coupled to a first side of the riser cage and adapted to rotate about an axis; a handle coupled to the axis member and adapted to rotate the axis member about the axis; a cam, coupled to the axis member, and adapted to rotate about the axis when the axis member rotates; and a lever coupled to a second side of the riser cage and adapted to rotate about a pivot point when the cam rotates, wherein the lever engages with a stabilizing feature when the handle is in a first handle position.

A bladed chassis system facilitates installation of the bladed chassis system and replacement of the blades at the chassis. Blades can be inserted and removed from the front and/or the rear of the bladed chassis system at the discretion of the user. Blades can be moved between discrete positions. In examples, blades can be one-handedly released from the chassis to allow movement between discrete positions. In examples, accidental movement past a discrete position is inhibited. Accidental removal of the blades from the chassis is inhibited. The chassis and blades cooperate to manage the optical fiber cables routed through a cable port in the chassis to the blades.

A partition for separating computer components in an apparatus holding the computer components is provided. The partition includes a body with a first side and a second side; one or more top tabs projecting from both the first side and the second side of the body; one or more bottom tabs projecting from the first side of the body; and one or more bottom protrusions projecting from the second side of the body. The one or more top tabs are secured in a first manner, e.g., through rivets, to a first panel of the apparatus. The one or more bottom tabs are secured in the first manner to a second panel of the apparatus. The one or more bottom protrusions are secured in a second manner to the second panel of the apparatus, e.g., tucking a protrusion under the second panel. The features allow different-sized compartments for different storage form factors.

A mechanical enclosure provides a mechanism for coupling a storage device to a computer system. The mechanical enclosure can be removably coupled to the computer system and can allow for coupling of the storage device to the computer system without using specialty cables and connectors. The mechanical enclosure can allow the storage device to be coupled to computer system without significantly degrading the speed at which the data stored within the storage device is downloaded onto the computer. The storage device can be inserted into the mechanical enclosure which couples the storage device to the mechanical enclosure. The mechanical enclosure can be inserted into the computer system which similarly couples the computer system to the mechanical enclosure to effectively couple the storage device and the computer system. Once the storage device is effectively coupled to the computer system, the data stored within the storage device can be downloaded onto the computer without the need for specialty cables and connectors.

A tray device includes a tray body and a bracket mounted on the tray body. The tray body includes at least one connecting plate, a resilient sheet, and a handle assembly. The resilient sheet is coupled to the at least one connecting plate. The handle assembly includes a handle, a rotating shaft, and a snap hook. One end of the handle is hinge-mounted to the at least one connecting plate through the rotating shaft. The snap hook is located on the handle. The handle is fixed to the at least one connecting plate through the snap hook.

A drive carrier for a device of an information handling system includes first and second portions. The first and second portions are placed in physical communication with the device. The first portion includes first and second side rails to secure the device within the drive carrier. The first and second side rails slide within a first slot of a bay of the information handling system. The second portion is located on top of the first portion and floats away from and toward the first portion when the drive carrier is inserted with the bay of the information handling system. An amount of float for the second portion is based on a bay pitch of the bay.
