Appl. No.:

12/107022

Inventors:

Karl Klaus Dittus - Durham NC, US
Stephen Peter Mroz - Rochester MN, US
Rebeccah Jane Vossberg - Rochester MN, US

Assignee:

INTERNATIONAL BUSINESS MACHINES CORPORATION - Armonk NY

International Classification:

F16L 5/00

US Classification:

248 56

Abstract:

A cable management system for a rack-mounted electronic system including an elongate cable guide plate securable to a rack and having opposing first and second, longitudinally-extending flanges. An array of cable alignment tabs are disposed on the cable guide plate between the opposing flanges and arranged in longitudinally-oriented columns and laterally-oriented rows. Adjacent columns are sufficiently spaced to receive two or more cables against the cable guide plate and adjacent rows are sufficiently spaced to receive one or more cables. Each of a plurality of cable-fastening straps are configured for being selectively secured across the cable guide plate from the first flange to the opposing second flange.

International Classification:

H05K 9/00
H05K 13/04

US Classification:

174351, 277312

Abstract:

A method and structures are provided for implementing press-lock electromagnetic compatibility (EMC) gaskets. A gasket includes a plurality of fasteners received through a plurality of corresponding mounting apertures in a perforated support surface for precise placement, and retention without adhesives. The corresponding mounting apertures have a diameter smaller than 1/20th of a wavelength of the highest frequency to be suppressed to remain independent of the shielding required. The gasket defines a cavity receiving compliant foam, and includes an absorber.

International Classification:

G06F 1/16

US Classification:

361685

Abstract:

A computer chassis is provided that may accommodate direct access storage device cages for various form factors. A 3.5-inch direct access storage device (DASD) cage may support 3.5-inch serial attached SCSI (SAS) direct access storage devices. The 3.5-inch SAS DASD cage includes a DASD backplane with a main connector and eight SAS drive connectors. A SFF direct access storage device cage may support SFF SAS direct access storage devices. The SFF SAS DASD cage may include a DASD backplane with a main connector and two port expanders. The port expanders may support up to twelve SAS DASD with redundant SAS channel wiring and one external 4-channel SAS port.

International Classification:

E05C 3/14
H05K 5/02

Abstract:

Latch assembly including a latch arm, having first and second length edges and first and second width edges. The latch arm includes a latch pawl, a pivot connector, and a stabilizing member, positioned in a plane. The latch pawl connected to the first width edge and providing spring force resisting deflection non-parallel to the plane. The pivot connector and stabilizing member formed within an area of the latch arm. The stabilizing member extending distally relative to the second width edge to the pivot connector, and providing spring force resisting deflection parallel to the plane. The component and latch assembly including a component having first and second faces being adjacent and perpendicular. The latch arm rotatably mounted on the second face between latched and unlatched positions. Assembly including an embossment positioned to deflect the latch pawl during latching so the latch arm sits raised upon the embossment in the latched position.
