Abstract
For a secure device chamber, the device chamber is disposed in a chassis and includes a device port. A door latches to obstruct access to the device chamber. A logic circuit receives an uninterrupted power supply from a computer, stores a device access value, and unlatches the door in response to activation of a chamber eject button and a device access value not being a device secure mode.
Claims19
An apparatus comprising:
- a device chamber disposed in a chassis and comprising a device port;
- a door that latches to obstruct access to the device chamber;
- a chamber eject button;
- a failsafe release that unlatches the door to permit access to the device chamber, wherein the failsafe release is disposed within the chassis of a computer;
- and
- a logic circuit that receives an uninterrupted power supply from the computer, stores a device access value, and unlatches the door in response to activation of the chamber eject button and the device access value not being a device secure mode.
