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.

In one embodiment, an apparatus is provided. The apparatus includes a printed circuit board. The apparatus also includes a first connector coupled to the printed circuit board. The first connector is configured to couple the apparatus to a computing device. The apparatus further includes a second connector coupled to the printed circuit board. The second connector is configured to couple the apparatus to a data storage device. The apparatus further includes a securement mechanism comprising a first portion and a second portion. The securement mechanism is movable about the apparatus between a first position and a second position. The first portion is configured to maintain the securement mechanism at the first position. The second portion is configured to secure the data storage device to the apparatus when the securement mechanism is in the first position.

An electronic device including a chassis, a motherboard, an expansion card and a support. The motherboard is disposed in the chassis. The expansion card includes a circuit board assembly and a fixing plate. The circuit board assembly is fixed to a side of the fixing plate. The circuit board assembly is electrically connected to the motherboard and is fixed to the chassis via the fixing plate. A side of the support supports a side of the circuit board assembly that is located farthest from the fixing plate. A side of the support that is located farthest from the circuit board assembly is fixed to the motherboard and the chassis.

Securing a riser cage and/or electronic components coupled thereto within an information handling system can be accomplished using a riser cage apparatus. The riser cage may be configured to removably secure the electronic components to a surface of the information handling system using one or more fasteners configured to couple the riser cage to a surface of a chassis. The one or more fasteners may comprise a protrusion configured to engage a pin coupled to the surface. The protrusion of the one or more fasteners may be movable relative to the riser cage between a first locked position in which the pin coupled to the surface is engaged by the protrusion and a second unlocked position in which the pin coupled to the surface is not engaged by the protrusion.

A resource circuit board is configured for use by a physical migration system, the resource circuit board including at least one common interface shaped and configured to connect to an interconnect of a base circuit board; and at least one migration-support interface the at least one common interface being different from the at least one migration-support interface, the at least one migration-support interface: shaped to connect to at least one corresponding migration-support interface of the physical migration system; and configured to provide at least one of power and connectivity to the resource circuit board during a physical migration of the resource circuit board.

A circuit board includes a board body, a card slot, a release structure, and a transmission mechanism. The card slot is disposed on the board body and adapted for inserting an expansion card. The release structure is rotatably disposed beside the card slot. The transmission mechanism includes a contact part and a stressed part that are linked to each other, wherein the contact part is connected to the release structure. When the stressed part receives an external force, the contact part is moved correspondingly, so that the release structure is rotated relative to the card slot, thereby releasing the expansion card.

A latching mechanism includes a body having a trip-latch with a protruding portion that protrudes from the body, a release button coupled to a release shaft disposed inside the body, and a holding edge disposed on the release shaft. The holding edge engages the trip-latch to maintain the release button in a depressed position. The holding edge disengages the trip-latch to place the release button in a non-depressed position in response to urging the protruding portion of the trip latch toward the rotatable body. The latching mechanism may also include a spring coupled to the release shaft that urges the release button to a non-depressed position. The latching mechanism may also include a spring coupled to the protruding portion of the trip-latch that urges the trip-latch to protrude from the body. A non-protruding portion of the trip-latch may engage the holding edge.

An image forming apparatus includes: a first housing; a second housing that is supported above the first housing; a mounting part that is provided at at least one of the first housing and the second housing; and a detachable part that is disposed across the first housing and the second housing, the detachable part being mounted detachably with respect to the mounting part and being attachable and detachable in an attaching-detaching direction that connects one side surface and another side surface of the first housing.

Example implementations relate to a host electronic device configured for establishing a thermal contact between a heat generating component of a removable electronic device, and a cooling component of the host electronic device, when the removable electronic device is detachably connected to the host electronic device. The host electronic device includes a support structure, the cooling component, a driver, and an actuator. The cooling component is movably connected to the support structure. The driver is also movably connected to the support structure. The actuator is movably connected to the support structure and the driver. The actuator, upon contact by the removable device, causes a movement of the cooling component via the driver for establishing the thermal contact between the cooling component and the heat generating component.
