A rail vehicle control relay board includes a main frame, a mother board and a daughter board assembly which are arranged in the main frame, the main frame includes a board face mounting frame and a daughter board mounting frame which protrudes from the board face mounting frame, the mother board is arranged in the board face mounting frame, and multiple daughter board assemblies perpendicular to the mother board are arranged side by side in the daughter board mounting frame, the daughter board assemblies are electrically connected to the mother board, and multiple first connectors configured to perform output outwards are arranged on the mother board. The rail vehicle control relay board has a high strength, and may reduce the daughter board loosening faults, extend a wiring space and increase the number of relays arranged.

Utilities (e.g., apparatuses, systems, methods, etc.) for reducing or eliminating gaps between the tips of male pins and the bottoms of corresponding female sockets of interfaced connectors (e.g., daughtercard and backplane connectors) of a computing module and a backplane of a server enclosure under a variety of differing mechanical tolerances in the lengths of the server enclosure and the computing module (e.g., along a dimension that is parallel to the longitudinal axes of the male pins and female sockets). The disclosed utilities allow for increased signal quality and data rates through interfaced connectors while reducing strain on the PCB, solder joints, and the like during the interfacing of the connectors.

An electronic equipment item for an electronic system, comprising a housing, a backplane board, at least one daughterboard and at least one lightning protection board housed in the housing. A connector is fixed to the backplane board and configured to be connected to the rest of the electronic system. For each daughterboard there is provided one lightning protection board. For each lightning protection board, a first port is arranged to connect the lightning protection board to the backplane board, and a second port is arranged to connect the daughterboard to the lightning protection board.

A data storage system with a parallel array of dense memory cards and high airflow is described. In one example, a rack-mount enclosure has a horizontal plane board with memory connectors and external interfaces. Memory cards each have a connector to connect to a respective memory connector of the horizontal plane board, each memory card extending parallel to each other memory card from the front of the enclosure and extending orthogonally from the first side of the horizontal plane board. A power supply proximate the rear of the enclosure and the first side of the horizontal plane board provides power to the memory cards through the memory card connectors and has a fan to pull air from the front of the enclosure between the memory cards and to push air out the rear of the enclosure.

A server can be used for a cold storage application. The server can comprise a nest for holding a high density of bare storage drives, wherein the nest comprises a plurality of drive cooling channels residing on the underside of the nest. The server can further comprise rear, front, and side air flow paths for natural convection cooling.

An electronic device may include a backplane and an electrical connector carried by a front side of the backplane, and a circuit board assembly removably coupled to the electrical connector. Each circuit board assembly may include a circuit board and electronic components carried by the circuit board and generating waste heat, and a cooling fluid arrangement thermally coupled to the electronic components. The electronic device may include a cooling fluid manifold, and a pair of multi-functional tubes that provide alignment, keying, structural rigidity and fluid supply and return capabilities extending between the cooling fluid manifold and the cooling fluid arrangement.

Disclosed is a computer case with I/O panels on opposite sides of the case, and a method for providing the case. The case includes a top, a bottom, a back side that is opposite a front side, and a right side that is opposite a left side. The case also includes a front I/O opening formed in the front side that receives a front I/O panel. The computer case also includes a rear I/O opening in the back side that receives a rear I/O panel.

An electronic device includes a slot, and a backboard that is disposed on the depth side in the slot and is electrically connected to a printed circuit board inserted in the slot. The electronic device further includes a casing having the slot formed therein, the casing being configured to accommodate therein at least part of the backboard, and a cover member configured to be attachable to and removable from the casing. When attached to the casing, the cover member together with the casing forms the external appearance of the electronic device. The cover member is attached to the backboard integrally.
