The present disclosure provides lockable cover assemblies that can cover mounting fasteners used to secure network devices to mounting structures, including racks, rack-mounted enclosures, cabinets or other mounting enclosures used to mount network devices, or utility boxes used to mount network devices. The lockable cover assemblies can be configured to cover the mounting fasteners of one or more network devices or the lockable cover assemblies can be built into a mounting enclosure and lock each network device in the rack.

An unlocking structure adapted to an insert slot is provided. An expansion card is adapted to be inserted into the insert slot and fixed on the insert slot by a locking component. The unlocking structure includes a base and an operation shaft. The base is fixed on the insert slot. The operation shaft is pivoted to the base. The operation shaft is adapted to rotate in relative to the base from a locking position to an unlocking position to drive the locking component to be separated from the expansion card. In addition, an electronic device having the unlocking structure and an electronic module having the unlocking structure are also provided.

An apparatus for securing an electronic component within a server device is provided. The apparatus includes a support bracket configured to secure the apparatus within the server device. The apparatus also includes a fixed structure rotatably housed within the support bracket. Moreover, the apparatus can include a hook structure connected to the fixed structure, such that the hook structure and the fixed structure are configured to rotate between an engaged position and a disengaged position. The hook structure can include a notch element configured to secure a corresponding element on the electronic component.

A converter board, comprising: a printed circuit board, wherein the printed circuit board includes a cutout to form two opposing sides and an end; a guiderail attached to each opposing end, the guiderails to accept an option card; an end connector attached to the end, the end connector to connect to the option card when the option card is fully inserted into the cutout; and an edge connector to connect the converter board to a system, wherein the edge connector is connected to the end connector.

A method, an information handling system (IHS), and a bracket component for use in an IHS to better retain an inserted expansion card. The bracket component includes a first arm with a surface configured to fasten to a portion of a computer chassis. The portion of the computer chassis is proximate to a printed circuit board (PCB) expansion slot of the computer chassis. The bracket component includes a second arm positioned perpendicular to the first arm. The second arm has an inner surface facing the PCB expansion slot. The bracket component includes a board support pad affixed to the inner surface of the second arm. The board support pad has a flexible surface layer for abutting an edge of one or more PCBs that are inserted into the PCB expansion slot. The board support pad of the bracket component stabilizes the PCBs and reduces vibrations emanating from the computer chassis.

An apparatus for securing an electronic component within a server device is provided. The apparatus includes a support bracket configured to secure the apparatus within the server device. The apparatus also includes a fixed structure rotatably housed within the support bracket. Moreover, the apparatus can include a hook structure connected to the fixed structure, such that the hook structure and the fixed structure are configured to rotate between an engaged position and a disengaged position. The hook structure can include a notch element configured to secure a corresponding element on the electronic component.

A disclosed apparatus may include (1) a retractable guide rail movably coupled to a chassis, wherein the retractable guide rail is configured to support a field-replaceable unit when the field-replaceable unit is installed in the chassis, (2) a support bracket coupled to the chassis and aligned with the retractable guide rail within the chassis and (3) a locking bracket movably coupled to the support bracket, wherein the locking bracket is configured to (A) engage the retractable guide rail in an expanded position within the chassis when the field-replaceable unit is not installed in the chassis and (B) disengage the retractable guide rail such that the retractable guide rail moves to a retracted position when the field-replaceable unit is installed in the chassis. Various other apparatuses, systems, and methods are also disclosed.

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.

A fluid distribution system is incorporated into a server chassis. Connector plates have fluid connectors designed to connect with fluid cooling receptacles on server boards. A linkage system can be manually manipulated to translate the connector plates so as to engage the electronics boards and connect the fluid connectors to the receptacle. A pair of main connectors connect to the rack's fluid manifold to circulate cooling fluid to cool devices mounted onto the server boards. A locking mechanism can be included to mechanically lock the chassis to the rack to prevent accidental dismount of the chassis from the rack. Also, an anchor mechanism may be provided to apply counter force when engaging the connector plates with the server boards so as to prevent accidental dismount of the server board by the moving connector plate.

A disclosed apparatus may include (1) a retractable guide rail movably coupled to a chassis, wherein the retractable guide rail is configured to support a field-replaceable unit when the field-replaceable unit is installed in the chassis, (2) a support bracket coupled to the chassis and aligned with the retractable guide rail within the chassis, and (3) a locking bracket movably coupled to the support bracket, wherein the locking bracket is configured to (A) engage the retractable guide rail in an expanded position within the chassis when the field-replaceable unit is not installed in the chassis and (B) disengage the retractable guide rail such that the retractable guide rail moves to a retracted position when the field-replaceable unit is installed in the chassis. Various other apparatuses, systems, and methods are also disclosed.
