Computing unit for a HPC cabinet and a method for accessing an electronic component from the computing unit

A method for accessing a second electronic component from an internal body of a computing unit configured to be mounted in a High-Performance Computing (HPC) cabinet, defining a plurality of vertically stacked sockets, wherein the computing unit comprises

• an external body, comprising primary electronic components, configured to engage with at least one of the plurality of vertically stacked sockets,
• wherein the external body further comprises at least a bottom wall and two lateral walls defining a front housing opened from a front end of said external body and a back housing at a rear end, each lateral side of said two lateral walls comprising an abutment wall configured to be secured directly to the HPC cabinet, and
• a latching wall located in front of the abutment wall,
• wherein said latching wall and said abutment wall are longitudinally spaced apart by a distance along an X axis, such that said latching wall is parallel to the abutment wall and extends along an entire height of said computing unit,
• wherein said abutment wall of said each lateral side is located at said front end of said external body,
• wherein said abutment wall of said each lateral side extends laterally from said each lateral side and extends vertically in a YZ plane along said entire height of said computing unit,
• wherein the external body further comprises at least a first connector connected to the primary electronic components,
• the internal body, comprising secondary electronic components, being releasably coupled with the external body at the primary electronic components from said back housing in order to allow extraction of the internal body when the external body is secured fixedly to the HPC cabinet,
• wherein the internal body further comprises at least a second connector connected to the secondary electronic components, the second connector being configured to cooperate with the first connector when the internal body is coupled with the external body,
• at least one front lever pivotally coupled to the internal body along a lateral axis at said front end of the internal body such that the at least one front lever is configured to move from a rear position comprising an uncoupling position to a front position comprising a coupling position, and configured to latch with the latching wall of the external body and to latch with the bottom wall of the external body such that the at least one front lever is pivotably deflected in order to releasably couple the internal body from the external body when the internal body is located within the front housing of the external body and configured to enable a user to push the internal body back into the external body, without use of any external tools,
• wherein the internal body is located in the front housing of the external body, and wherein the at least one front lever is latched with the latching wall of the external body,
• wherein the method comprises:
• pivoting the at least one front lever to unlatch the external body, and
• pulling the internal body out from the housing of the external body in order to access the second electronic component from the internal body.
