A housing having a first chamber arranged to receive one or more enclosures, and having a second chamber separated from the first chamber by a wall is provided. The one or more enclosures are each arranged to have electronic circuitry within the enclosure. The housing has one or more fans arranged to exhaust a first airflow from each of the one or more enclosures and the first chamber. The housing has one or more power supplies with a further one or more fans arranged to exhaust a second airflow from the second chamber and the one or more power supplies. The wall has one or more apertures arranged to at least partially align with one or more apertures of each of the one or more enclosures, so that the second airflow proceeds through the one or more apertures of the wall.

Technology is provided for a device sled with an interference shield. The device sled includes a sled chassis having a bottom wall and first and second opposed sidewalls. A shield support bracket is coupled to the first sidewall and an interference shield is removably coupled to the shield support bracket and the second sidewall. The interference shield includes a shield panel, first and second opposed side flanges extending from the shield panel, and a latch coupled to the first side flange and positioned to engage the shield support bracket.

Described is a planar spring contact component coupled to a computer housing card enclosure that makes electrical contact with an inserted expansion card, to help form an electromagnetic shield around an opening in the card enclosure provided for external access to the expansion card. A planar spring contact component is electrically coupled to a conductive column that forms a first longitudinal side of an opening in a computer housing card enclosure. The planar spring contact component contacts a longitudinal side edge of a backplate surface panel of an expansion card when the expansion card is inserted into the card enclosure. The planar spring contact component deforms to force the opposite side edge of the backplate surface panel in a first planar direction, relative to a plane of the surface panel of the backplate, into an opposing shielding conductor, which may be a planar spring contact component of another conductive column.

Disclosed is a switch card assembly and chassis system, including a switch card housing, a latch base adjacent the switch card housing, the latch base including a pivot slot and a control slot, and the latch having a boundary with the chassis, a latch coupled to the latch base, the latch including a plurality of latch toes that move through the boundary of the latch base, and a plurality of pins attached to the latch and slideable within the plurality of slots, wherein the latch is rotated to lock and unlock the switch card housing in the chassis.

A method for structurally protecting an information handling system (IHS) for both shipment and operation includes: providing a lightweight server (LWS) chassis; providing a casing that is formed of structurally rigid material to protect the server chassis and any functional compute components inserted within the server chassis; inserting the LWS chassis into the casing; and fully enclosing the LWS chassis within the casing using sealable flaps of the casing such that the casing can be utilized as an external shipping carton in which the IHS is physically shipped to a destination.

The application concerns a support structure for power electronics, comprising a holder for the insertion of at least one power electronics module and an electrically conductive external geometry which surrounds the holder and has rounded corners and edges with a radius of curvature which is greater than a predetermined minimum radius.

A rack-based information handling system (RIHS) includes: a rack chassis having a plurality of interconnected panels forming a volumetric space having a front section and a rear section, both with opposing side panels forming a front access space and a rear access space, respectively, between corresponding opposing side panels; one or more IT gear sleds that are inserted into the front section of the rack chassis; and a pair of front expansion panels that are added to the rack chassis and which extend past an end of the opposing side panels at the front section of the rack chassis to provide a deeper IT bay within the front section and enable insertion of longer-than-standard depth IT gear within the rack chassis. The front expansion panels are cable management panels that include at least one strap that is utilized to secure one or more cables extending from one or more IT gear inserted into the rack chassis.

Data storage systems may include a chassis with a first end and a second end. One or more fans may be positioned at the first end of the chassis. At least one storage media device may be positioned inside the chassis and behind the at least one fan relative to the first end of the chassis. A carrier including a frame may be coupled to the at least one storage media device, where the frame includes an elongated member extending away from the storage media device toward the first end of the chassis. Other aspects, embodiments, and features are also included.

In one embodiment, a slot-filler blanking tray includes a vented blanking panel including a vented front panel, the vented blanking panel for fitting over an entrance to one slot of a computer equipment rack including support rails, and a panel arrangement including partition panels to form a slot partition for reversibly inserting into the one slot, supported by the support rails, the slot partition being formed either by unfolding the partition panels or fitting the partition panels together, wherein (a) the vented blanking panel and at least one partition panel of the partition panels are mechanically connected together, or (b) the vented blanking panel includes a first connecting element and the at least one partition panel includes a second connecting element to mechanically connect the vented blanking panel and the at least one partition panel together. Related apparatus and methods are also described.

In a receptacle assembly, a module is guided by a guide rail and held inside an opening of a printed wiring board when a plug connector of the module is connected to a host connector. The receptacle assembly includes a guide member provided on the periphery of the opening of the wiring board and configured to form a module accommodation portion to detachably accommodate the module comprising a module board and to guide the module, a connector unit provided on the wiring board and configured to electrically connect the module board of the module to the wiring board, a first EMI gasket sealing a gap between a lower end portion of a connector cover covering the connector unit and the wiring board, and a second EMI gasket sealing a gap between a connecting end portion of the module and the periphery of an opening of the connector unit.
