A base chassis supports a set of storage cages. The base chassis includes a front portion that is removably attachable to a first storage cage. The base chassis also includes an extension portion. The extension portion has a first end that is fixedly attachable to the front portion to extend a length of the base chassis to support an additional storage cage when the first storage cage is detached from the front portion. The extension portion also has a second end that is attachable to the first storage cage to support the first storage cage.

A housing module having a circuit board quick-assembling function is applied to an electronic device with a circuit board having a specific height. The housing module includes a housing, an spacer and two pivoting components. The housing includes a substrate and several lateral boards. The spacer includes a main body, two pivoting portions and a locking portion. The pivoting portions are disposed on corresponding sides of the main body, the locking portion stretches from a lower side of the main body and is fixed on the circuit board via an external fixing component. The pivoting portions pass through the lateral boards and are connected to the pivoting portions. While the circuit board slides relative to the substrate to push the spacer, the main body is rotated inside the housing via the pivoting portions to lift the lower side.

A system includes a support frame residing within a region conforming to a 3.5-inch form-factor disk drive specification, and a plurality of data storage drives, wherein each data storage drive resides entirely within the region. Each data storage drive conforms to a 2.5-inch form-factor disk drive specification, is mounted on the support frame via at least one external mounting hole that is positioned on a surface of the data storage drive in conformance with the 2.5-inch form-factor disk drive specification, is communicatively coupled to a backplane via an electrical connection device, and the electrical connection device includes a flexible electrical connector that, when coupled to a first end of the data storage drive, does not extend beyond the region, and has a removal tab through which a removal force is exerted to urge the data storage drive away from the support frame.

A server capable of rotating and accessing storage devices accommodated therein includes a server chassis, a motherboard, a power supply module, two racks, and a system cooling module. The server chassis includes two side plates and an accommodating space between the two side plates. The power supply module is disposed in the accommodating space and arranged corresponding to the motherboard. The racks are arranged parallel to each other and detachably connected to the server chassis. A pivot structure and a handle for operating the rack are disposed at the rack near the motherboard. The rack is rotatable with respect to the server chassis by means of the pivot structure. The system cooling module is disposed adjacent to the rack. At least one cord passage is provided between the system cooling module and each of the side plates.

A component carrier with a tray, a slide cage, a level, and a tilting mechanism. The tray has a bottom surface with a groove formed therein. The slide cage is actuatably coupled with the tray and has a receiving space and an undercarriage. The lever is pivotally coupled with the slide cage and has a lower portion for engaging the groove to transition the slide cage between a first position and a second position. The tilting mechanism is coupled with the tray and configured for biasing the slide cage to the second position. In the first position the undercarriage of the slide cage is positioned proximal to the bottom surface of the tray. In the second position a first end portion of the undercarriage of the slide cage is displaced away from the bottom surface and a second end portion is positioned proximal to the bottom surface of the tray.

A latch and release mechanism for a computer component may allow release of the component with reduced force and easier access through a cam lever that rotates around a pivot point, such as a pin, to translate rotational motion into a force to unlock the drive from a bay of a chassis. Additionally, the cam lever may be configured to provide a force that ejects the drive from the bay nearly simultaneously with the unlocking of the drive. Thus, a user can remove a drive from a bay with a small application of a single type of force to the cam lever of a latch and release mechanism.

A system for storing data includes a rack, one or more data storage modules coupled to the rack, and one or more data control modules coupled to the rack. The data storage modules may include a chassis, two or more backplanes coupled to the chassis, and one or more mass storage devices (for example, hard disk drives) coupled to the backplanes. The data control modules may access the mass storage devices in the data storage modules.

The present invention aims at improving a cooling efficiency and a maintenance workability related to heat generating components in a storage subsystem. Therefore, the present invention provides multiple cooling fans configured to cool multiple components for operating the storage subsystem, a first wind direction panel defining a passage configured to blow a cooling air generated by the cooling fans to a first component, a second wind direction panel defining a passage configured to blow a cooling air generated by the cooling fans to a second component having a smaller heating value than the first heat generating component and having a low temperature, and a chassis configured to store the multiple components, the cooling fans and the first and second wind direction panels, wherein the second wind direction panel is configured to be integrated with a side wall of the chassis and detachable from the chassis.

A storage device test slot includes a housing. The housing defines a test compartment for receiving a storage device for testing. One or more tuned mass dampers are connected to the housing. The one or more tuned mass dampers are configured to inhibit vibration of the housing at one or more predetermined frequencies.

A data storage device fixing structure includes a mounting frame, a resisting member, and a limiting member. The resisting member is movably arranged on the mounting frame and configured to resist a data storage device. The resisting member includes a resisting portion. The limiting member is provided on the resisting member and provided with a fixing portion. The fixing portion extends into the data storage device located in the mounting frame to fixedly mount the data storage device. When the limiting member is moved, the fixing portion is separated from the data storage device, the resisting member is pulled, and the resisting portion drives the data storage device to move.
