Abstract
A memory enclosure is described that includes a debugger connector access portion in the memory enclosure. The memory enclosure further includes a breakaway tab which at least partially covers the debugger connector access portion. The memory enclosure further includes at least two anchoring joints connecting the breakaway tab to a portion of the memory enclosure surrounding the debugger connector access portion, the anchoring joints adapted to break upon application of a breaking force causing the breakaway tab to break away from the memory enclosure and allow a debugger tool access through the exterior of the memory enclosure to a debugger connector situated in the interior of the memory enclosure.
Claims20
A memory enclosure comprising:
- a debugger connector access portion in the memory enclosure;
- a breakaway tab, wherein the breakaway tab at least partially covers the debugger connector access portion;
- at least two anchoring joints connecting the breakaway tab to a portion of the memory enclosure surrounding the debugger connector access portion, the anchoring joints adapted to break upon application of a breaking force causing the breakaway tab to break away from the memory enclosure and allow a debugger tool access through an exterior of the memory enclosure to a debugger connector situated in an interior of the memory enclosure;
- and
- a support bar situated behind the breakaway tab on a bottom portion of the breakaway tab, wherein the support bar acts as a pivot point while the breaking force is applied.
A memory enclosure comprising:
- a debugger connector access portion in the memory enclosure;
- a breakaway tab, wherein the breakaway tab at least partially covers the debugger connector access portion;
- at least two anchoring joints connecting the breakaway tab to a portion of the memory enclosure surrounding the debugger connector access portion, the anchoring joints adapted to break upon application of a breaking force causing the breakaway tab to break away from the memory enclosure and allow debugger tool access through an exterior of the memory enclosure to a debugger connector situated in an interior of the memory enclosure;
- a support bar situated behind the breakaway tab on a bottom portion of the breakaway tab, wherein the support bar acts as a pivot point while the breaking force is applied;
- an outer portion of the memory enclosure comprising the debugger connector access portion, the breakaway tab, and the at least two anchoring joints;
- and
- an inner portion of the memory enclosure, wherein there is an enclosure gap between the outer portion and the inner portion such that the breakaway tab can be gripped from a side between the inner and outer portions and a side opposite the inner portion.
A memory enclosure comprising:
- a debugger connector access hole in the memory enclosure adapted to allow access of a debugger connector to internal components of the memory enclosure;
- a breakaway tab wherein the breakaway tab substantially covers the debugger connector access hole;
- at least two anchoring joints connecting the breakaway tab to a portion of the memory enclosure surrounding the debugger connector access portion, the anchoring joints adapted to break upon application of a breaking force causing the breakaway tab to break away from the memory enclosure and allow a debugger tool access through an exterior of the memory enclosure to a debugger connector situated in an interior of the memory enclosure;
- a support bar situated behind the breakaway tab on a bottom portion of the breakaway tab, wherein the support bar acts as a pivot point while the breaking force is applied;
- a heat sink configured to dissipate heat from the memory enclosure;
- an outer portion of the memory enclosure comprising the debugger connector access portion, the breakaway tab, and the at least two anchoring joints;
- and
- an inner portion of the memory enclosure comprising the support bar and the heat sink, wherein there is an enclosure gap between the outer portion and the inner portion such that the breakaway tab can be gripped from a side between the inner and outer portions and a side opposite the inner portion.
