Abstract
A server system includes a dual in-line memory module, a dual inline memory module baffle, a hood, and a chassis. The dual inline memory module baffle includes a set of dual inline memory module engagement members. The hood includes a first set of hood engagement members. The chassis includes a first set of chassis engagement members and a second set of chassis engagement members.
Claims15
A server system, comprising:
- a dual in-line memory module (DIMM) to engage a DIMM socket;
- a DIMM baffle to contact and at least partially enclose the DIMM, the DIMM baffle including a set of DIMM engagement members;
- a hood to at least partially cover the DIMM baffle, the hood including a first set of hood engagement members;
- and
- a chassis to receive the DIMM baffle and the hood, the chassis including a first set of chassis engagement members and a second set of chassis engagement members;
- the first set of chassis engagement members to engage and guide the DIMM engagement members to a DIMM aligned position in response to the contact between the DIMM baffle and the DIMM seated in the DIMM socket;
- and
- the second set of chassis engagement members to engage and guide the first set of hood engagement members to a hood aligned position in response to the contact between the DIMM baffle and the DIMM seated in the DIMM socket.

A method of confirming a dual in-line memory module unseated in a dual in-line memory module socket, the method comprising:
- moving the dual in-line memory module (DIMM) toward the DIMM socket;
- placing a DIMM baffle in contact with the DIMM to at least partially enclose the DIMM such that the DIMM baffle includes a set of DIMM engagement members;
- receiving the DIMM baffle by a chassis having a first set of chassis engagement members and a second set of chassis engagement members such that the first set of chassis engagement members prevents guiding the DIMM engagement members to a DIMM aligned position in response to the contact between the DIMM baffle and the DIMM unseated in the DIMM socket;
- and
- receiving the hood to at least partially cover the DIMM baffle and having a first set of hood engagement members by the chassis such that the second set of chassis engagement members prevents guiding the first set of hood engagement members to a hood aligned position in response to the contact between the DIMM baffle and the DIMM unseated in the DIMM socket.
