The present invention also concerns an assembly method of the housing structure.

A swing arm lock mechanism for securing a printed circuit board to a bracket includes a main body, a hooked arm, and an aperture in the main body. The hooked arm extends from and is integral with the main body. The hooked arm and main body define an open-ended slot for engaging a lock pin disposed on the bracket. The aperture receives a fastener for securing the main body to the printed circuit board such that the main body and hooked arm can rotate about a central axis of the fastener from a first unlocked position to a second locked position.

A riser bracket for supporting a riser board and a computer card inserted into the riser board is disclosed. The riser bracket includes a first riser bracket piece, a first latch, a second riser bracket piece, and a second latch. The computer card and the riser board are positioned on a motherboard. The first riser bracket piece is configured to be coupled to the riser board. The first latch is configured to the first riser bracket piece to a first mounting point of the motherboard, and to move between a latched position and an unlatched position. The second riser bracket piece is coupled to the first riser bracket piece. The second latch is configured to couple the second riser bracket piece to a second mounting point of the motherboard, and move between a latched position and an unlatched position.

A card riser for an information handling system includes a bottom surface, multiple connector slots in physical communication with the bottom surface, and a locking mechanism in physical communication with the bottom surface. Each connector slot is configured to receive a corresponding connector of a different one of multiple cards. When the locking mechanism is in an unlocked position, a different one of the cards is inserted within a different one of the connector slots. When the locking mechanism is in a locked position, the locking mechanism is placed in physical communication with each of the cards to securely hold the cards within the card riser.

The present disclosure concerns a slotfiller (1) for closing a slot (21) in a computer-rack-insertable component (20), wherein the slotfiller (1) comprises at least two finger-grippable cup elements (2), and a hinge (3) connecting the cup elements (2). Therein, the slotfiller (1) is configured to be insertable into the slot (21) by pressing of the cup elements (2) towards each other and is configured to at least partially cover an open surface area of the slot (21) by releasing of the cup elements (2) in the inserted state. The present disclosure also concerns a computer-rack-insertable component (20) and a computer rack (100), each comprising at least one slotfiller (1).

A swing arm lock mechanism for securing a printed circuit board to a bracket includes a main body, a hooked arm, and an aperture in the main body. The hooked arm extends from and is integral with the main body. The hooked arm and main body define an open-ended slot for engaging a lock pin disposed on the bracket. The aperture receives a fastener for securing the main body to the printed circuit board such that the main body and hooked arm can rotate about a central axis of the fastener from a first unlocked position to a second locked position.

A riser bracket assembly for supporting at least one expansion card horizontally over a motherboard is disclosed. The riser bracket assembly may support different types of expansion cards. The assembly includes a first component half having a registration feature to mate with a first type of riser board. A second component half is attachable to the first component half. The second component half has a registration feature to mate with a second type of riser board. A riser board has an edge connector insertable into a socket on the motherboard. The riser board includes an expansion card connector connectable to the at least one expansion card. The riser board supports either the first component half or the second component half.

A mobile communication device is disclosed, and is modularized to include an electronic device for performing mobile communication and a frame assembly. The frame assembly comprises a circuit board having an electrical connection interface and a frame having a recess for receiving the electronic device. In addition, a first electrical connector is disposed on a side wall of the recess, and the electronic device has a second electrical connector connected to the first electrical connector, such that the electronic device coupled to the circuit board via the forgoing two electrical connectors. By inserting the mobile communication device into an accommodation space in a casing of a host electronic device, the electrical connection interface is inserted into an electrical slot that is arranged in a printed circuit board in the casing, thereby achieving a function expansion of mobile communication for the host electronic device.

Systems and methods for improved circuit board removal and/or reinstallation are provided. A circuit board removal system can include a frame including a channel arranged in a plate of the frame. A disengagement slider can include a mounting surface and a first portion including a first cam surface, where the disengagement slider is arranged within the frame. A separator can include a second cam surface and can be arranged in the channel of the plate. The first cam surface and the second cam surface can be nested with each other when the disengagement slider is in an inserted position. The disengagement slider can be configured to slide the separator in the longitudinal direction when the disengagement slider is removed from the frame due to the interaction of the first cam surface with the second cam surface.

An expansion card holder assembly that accepts different size expansion cards is disclosed. The expansion card holder assembly includes a metal base with grooves that roller features of a metal slide bracket fit into. The metal slide bracket is positioned along the metal base for different size expansion cards. The metal slide bracket is connected with a metal cover that is opened to accept expansions cards. A connector is provided for the expansion card to connect with printed circuit board.
