    Abstract: A removable rail guide apparatus is provided for a disk drive mounting structure which is capable of receiving disk drives or other rail-mounted devices therein. The mounting structure includes a frame including a bay capable of accepting therein one first height drive or two second height drives which are smaller than the first size drive. The bay includes first and second opposed side walls situated in spaced apart relationship. First and second stationary rail guides are fixedly situated on the first and second side walls, respectively, to mate with corresponding side rails of the first size disk drive. First and second removable rail guides are removably mounted on the first and second side walls, respectively, at a distance spaced apart from the first and second stationary rail guides. The first and second removable rail guides mate with corresponding side rails of the second size disk drive when the first size disk drive is not present in the first and second stationary guide rails. The user is provided with flexibility in that a first height drive can be installed when the removable rail guides are removed from the bay so as to avoid interference between the first height drive and such rail guides. Alternatively, the user can install one second height drive in the bay on the stationary nonremovable rails and/or a second height drive in the bay on the removable rails when such rails are installed in the bay.

    Abstract: A personal computer system unit has a planar card (10) upon which is mounted a processor card (10). The processor has mounted thereon those components, except for system memory, which are most likely to be replaced for a system upgrade. The processor card (10) has a printed circuit board with printed circuits thereon that terminate along one edge at contacts (176). Two aligned edge connectors (100,101) are mounted on the planar board (50). One connector (100) has a key (173) which engages a slot (169) on the edge (48) of the processor card (10) to align the many contacts (176) with contact arms (186). Two levers (210) are mounted on the card (10) and cooperate with frame elements (201) to insert, extract and latch the processor card (10). Each element (201) also has a guide to align the processor card (10) for insertion into the edge connectors (100,101).

    Abstract: A disk drive adapter tray (200) is provided for facilitating the mounting of a first size disk drive in a bay of a computer wherein the bay is capable of housing a second size disk drive which is larger than the first size disk drive. The tray includes a main body on which the first size disk drive is mountable. The main body includes first and second opposed side surfaces. First and second substantially parallel rails (320, 325) are integrally formed into the first and second side surfaces, respectively, of the main body. The first and second rails extending outwardly away from the first and second surfaces in opposite directions to engage rail guides situated within the bay in which the adapter tray is to be mounted.

    Abstract: A grounding structure is provided for a disk drive rail wherein the rail includes two sides, one side of which is mountable on a side of a disk drive or other rail mounted device. The grounding structure includes a substantially flat main body extending laterally along one side of the rail to a first end of the rail. The grounding structure further includes a wrap around portion extending from the main body at the first end of the rail and around the first end of the rail and further extending along a portion of the remaining side of the rail so as to hold the grounding structure to the rail. The wrap around portion is connectable to a ground contact adjacent thereto.
