    Abstract: A multimedia data storage system including a compartmentalised drawer (20) which can be tailored to accommodate the differing cooling requirements of different device types thus allowing each device type to be mounted in any device position. A cover (20) in the form of a frame having a plurality of openings (42) fits onto the front of the drawer. A first device type includes a front bezel (22) which fills one opening in the cover and is cooled by air passing through a number of holes located along the length of the lower surface of the frame. A second device type (12) is cooled by air passing through a louvred panel (46) located in one opening in the cover. The panel includes a blanking member (62) which blocks off the frame cooling holes located in front of the second device type. Thus, for this device type, there is no air flow through the cooling holes. In addition, noise coming through the holes from inside the drawer is reduced.

    Abstract: PCT No. PCT/GB91/00699 Sec. 371 Date Feb. 12, 1993 Sec. 102(e) Date Feb. 12, 1993 PCT Filed Apr. 26, 1991 PCT Pub. No. WO92/20206 PCT Pub. Date Nov. 12, 1992.A removable electrical unit 20 is described which incorporates a soft stop and releasing mechanism which is employed to prevent removal of the unit from its housing in an unsafe manner. In operation, the unit is pulled from the housing by means of a front handle 22 on the unit and when the unit is partially removed from its housing a stop block 72 on the unit engages a stop spring 90 on the housing. A second handle 30 on the top of the unit becomes accessible and is actuated to disengage the stop block and stop spring. The unit may then be completely removed from the housing in a safe two handed manner.
