Appl. No.:

16/903359

- Hopkinton MA, US
Matthew Bryan Gilbert - Austin TX, US
Richard A. Crisp - Austin TX, US
Kevin R. Garrett - Austin TX, US

International Classification:

G11B 33/12
G11B 33/02
E05B 57/00
E05B 65/00

Abstract:

A chassis for housing a computing device of an information handling system includes a receiving portion of an expansion card receiver that receives an expansion card and operably connects the expansion card to another component of the computing device while the expansion card is received by the receiving portion. The chassis further includes a management portion of the expansion card receiver that receives a force from a user and, in response to receiving the force: transitions the management portion from a first state to a second state. In the first state, a handle, that enables the expansion card to be removed from the chassis is disposed inside of the management portion and the expansion card receiver is locked to the chassis. In the second state, the handle is disposed outside of the management portion and the expansion card receiver is unlocked from the chassis.

H05K 9/00

Abstract:

Power entry and distribution for network communication systems are disclosed. For certain embodiments depicted, a power distribution board with an open-grid configuration receives power feed/return lines from a power entry connector and distributes the power feed/return lines for a network processing system. The open-grid configuration facilitates airflow through a chassis and thereby provides improved cooling. Further, a modular power entry connector can be used to facilitate connection of power feed/return cables to the chassis for the network processing systems while improving safety for high power implementations.

Abstract:

Air filter and cable management assemblies for network communication systems are disclosed. The assemblies include filters that cover one or more communication line cards and their associated connection panels. The assemblies also include cable support structures with cable support brackets that support connected cables while restricting airflow so that airflow is forced through the filter towards the connection panels. This airflow can then pass into housings for the line cards and other circuitry, such as fabric cards, to provide desired cooling. Fan subsystems can also be provided to facilitate airflow. Advantageously, the disclosed air filter and cable management assemblies allow for filtered cooling of stacked network communication systems while greatly simplifying the complexity of the filter and cable installation and maintenance.
