    Abstract: A power supply assembly includes a power supply unit disposed within a housing and an adjustable plate module movably disposed on a floor thereof. The adjustable plate module includes a plate, a shaft, a stopper panel, and a compressible device. The plate has two planar surfaces positioned at different heights with respect to the floor. The shaft is fixedly coupled to and extends outwardly from the plate. The shaft is configured to move between a first position and a second position to transition a connector between the planar surfaces. The stopper panel is disposed adjacent to a distal end of the shaft and has an opening therein for accommodating the shaft. The compressible device is disposed around the shaft such that a displacement of the plate causes the compressible device to compress against the stopper panel and facilitate movement of the shaft from the first position to the second position.

    Abstract: A single-slot peripheral component interconnect express (PCIe) card with expanded memory is provided. Embodiments described herein use two rigid circuit boards which are oriented perpendicular to each other. The two rigid circuit boards are connected by a flexible cable, which can be sandwiched between the laminates of the rigid boards. The flexible cable further provides high-speed signal connection and high-power connection between the two rigid boards. In addition, the two rigid boards can be secured by two mechanical retainers. This approach enables a PCIe card to have three or more (e.g., four) dual in-line memory modules (DIMMs) while meeting the PCIe standard for single slot primary side height by placing the DIMM sockets horizontally, thus lowering the overall height of the PCIe card.

    Abstract: One aspect provides an apparatus for locking circuit boards in position between a pair of guide rails. The apparatus can include a slider attached to a sidewall of one guide rail. The slider is allowed to slide along the guide rail within a predetermined range and one or more plunger-and-spring assemblies. A respective plunger-and-spring assembly comprises a plunger and a spring surrounding the plunger, and the plunger is inserted into a through-hole on the sidewall of the guide rail such that a first end of the plunger can be aligned with a notch on a corresponding circuit board and a second end of the plunger is in contact with the slider. Sliding of the slider causes the spring to compress and decompress and the first end of the plunger to move in and out of the notch on the circuit board, thereby facilitating locking and unlocking of the circuit board.
