Abstract
The teachings of the present disclosure provide a housing for a modular component of an information handling system. The housing may include a wall member generally defining a first plane, one or more holes formed in the wall member, and one or more structural support members adjacent to the one or more holes. The one or more structural supports may extend from the first plane defined by the wall member to resist deformation of the wall member in at least one direction.
Claims21
A housing for a modular component of an information handling system, the housing comprising:
- a wall member generally defining a first plane;
- one or more holes formed in the wall member;
- and
- one or more structural support members adjacent to the one or more holes, the one or more structural supports extending from the first plane defined by the wall member to resist deformation of the wall member in at least one direction.
A modular component of an information handling system, the component comprising:
- a wall member generally defining a first plane;
- one or more holes formed in the wall member;
- and
- one or more structural support members adjacent to the one or more holes, the one or more structural supports extending from the first plane defined by the wall member to resist deformation of the wall member in at least one direction.
A method of forming a housing for a modular component of an information handling system, the method comprising:
- using a casting process to form a wall member generally defining a first plane, the wall member comprising:
- one or more holes formed in the wall member;
- and
- one or more structural support members adjacent to the one or more holes, the one or more structural supports extending from the first plane defined by the wall member to resist deformation of the wall member in at least one direction.
