An apparatus includes a motherboard with a processor socket, a load frame connected to the motherboard adjacent to at least two sides of the processor socket, and a processor retainer rotatably connected to the load frame, the processor retainer being positionable in a closed position, an opened position, and an installation position. The processor retainer extends over the processor socket when the processor retainer is in the closed position.

A locking and fixing device, and a server, the locking and fixing device comprises a mounting frame and an expansion card assembly, and the expansion card assembly is mounted on the mounting frame; the locking and fixing device further comprises: a lock mechanism, wherein the mounting frame is provided with a hinge part and a mating part; and one end of the lock mechanism facing the hinge part is hinged to the hinge part, and one end facing away from the hinge part is openably and closably locked on the mating part, so as to lock the mounting frame and the expansion card assembly together.

An example electrical connector includes a body to receive a circuit board. The body includes a first end and a second end. The electrical connector also includes a first latch rotatably attaches to the first end. The electrical connector further includes a second latch rotatably attaches to the second end. The electrical connector further includes a link member attached to the body. In response to a rotation of the first latch, the link member is to slide across the body from the first latch towards the second latch to rotate the second latch.

A computing system comprises a module cage for containing a system board and a plurality of pluggable modules, the module cage having a front face, the pluggable modules arranged in at least two rows of pluggable module locations extending parallel to the front face within the module cage. A layered module locking system including a sliding front locking handle and a sliding rear locking handle is provided. the sliding rear locking handle extending beneath the front locking handle. The sliding locking handles each includes at least one locking feature for slidably engaging with at least one foot of a pluggable module.

An electrical connector includes an insulative housing extending in a horizontal direction, a plurality of conductive terminals retained in the insulative housing, a metallic stiffener surrounding the insulative housing, a load plate pivotally mounted upon the metallic stiffener and moveable between an open position and a closed position, and a carrier frame used for retaining and receiving a central processing unit (CPU) and carrying the CPU to the insulative housing. After retaining the CPU, the carrier frame is mounted on the insulative housing along a vertical direction perpendicular to the horizontal direction. The load plate is rotated to the closed position to fix the CPU on the insulative housing.

A rotating buckle includes a first fixing member, a second fixing member, and a hook body. The first fixing member includes protruding posts. The second fixing member defines limiting slots and comprises a fixing portion. The fixing portion fixes the second fixing member to the first fixing member through a first resilient member. The hook body is received between the first fixing member and the second fixing member. The hook body defines a mounting hole, an inclined slot, and a receiving slot. The protruding posts are inserted through the mounting hole, the inclined slot, and the limiting slots. The fixing portion is inserted through the receiving slot. The hook body is fixed to the first fixing member through a second resilient member.

The disclosure provides a fixing assembly including a cage, a circuit board, a mount seat, and a fastener. The cage has an accommodation space, a first opening, a second opening, and a mount portion. The accommodation space is configured to accommodate a data storage device. The first opening and the second opening are connected to the accommodation space, and the mount portion protrudes from the first opening. The circuit board is fixed on the mount portion. The circuit board has a first electrical connector and a second electrical connector located at opposite surfaces of the circuit board and having different interfaces, and the first electrical connector is configured for an insertion of the data storage device. The mount seat has a first guiding portion, the cage has a second guiding portion mating with the first guiding portion. The fastener is configured to fix the cage to the mount seat.

An apparatus includes a motherboard with a processor socket, a load frame connected to the motherboard adjacent to at least two sides of the processor socket, and a processor retainer rotatably connected to the load frame, the processor retainer being positionable in a closed position, an opened position, and an installation position.
