Abstract
A guide panel comprised of unitized construction that includes a guidance slot, an engagement structure, a power-data transmission alignment structure, and electrostatic discharge components.
Claims17
A guide panel, comprising:
- unitized construction that includes:
- a guidance slot;
- an engagement structure;
- and
- an alignment structure that pre-aligns a plug-in unit with a power-data transmission panel before the plug-in unit is mounted on the guide panel;
- the alignment structure is comprised of:
- a projection that interlocks with an opening;
- with a position, size, and orientation of the guidance slot and positions, sizes, and orientations of the projection and the opening of the alignment structure determined by datum derived from physical features of the plug-in unit.

A guide panel, comprising:
- alignment structures that facilitate with precision and accuracy pre-alignment of plug-in units with a power-data transmission panel before the plug-in units are mounted on the guide panel;
- the alignment structures further facilitate the prevention of the power-data transmission panel associated with the guide panel from an in-plane rotation movement, a lateral movement, and a vertical movement;
- the alignment structures are comprised of;
- alignment projections that interlock with alignment openings;
- with a position, size, and orientation of a guidance slot of the guide panel and positions, sizes, and orientations of the alignment projections and the alignment openings of the alignment structures determined by datum derived from physical features of the plug-in unit.
