Abstract
A server slide can include a first (e.g., chassis) rail and a second (e.g., reinforced intermediate) rail assembly that slidably receives the first rail. The reinforced intermediate rail assembly may include a second (e.g., intermediate) rail having a recessed portion defining a height and a reinforcement bracket fixed to the intermediate rail. In one example, the reinforcement bracket may define a height larger than the height of the recessed portion of the intermediate rail. In one example, the reinforcement bracket may extend from a first end of the intermediate rail past a midpoint of the intermediate rail.
Claims15
A server slide, comprising:
- a first rail;
- and
- a reinforced second rail assembly that slidably receives the first rail, the reinforced second rail assembly including:
- a second rail having a recessed portion defining a height;
- and
- a reinforcement bracket fixed to the second rail, the reinforcement bracket defining a height larger than the height of the recessed portion of the second rail;
- wherein the reinforcement bracket extends from a first end of the second rail past a midpoint of the second rail.
A method of manufacturing a reinforced slide rail assembly for a server slide, comprising:
- arranging a reinforcement bracket so that the reinforcement bracket extends along and also out of a recessed portion of a reinforced rail, the reinforcement bracket defining a height larger than a height of the recessed portion of the reinforced rail;
- securing the reinforcement bracket to a surface of the reinforced rail;
- and
- fastening a pull rod to the reinforced rail and to the reinforcement bracket, with the pull rod secured to reinforced rail through a cutout defined by the reinforcement bracket.
