Abstract
An example mounting assembly is provided herein. The mounting assembly includes a first cage, a second cage, a rail member, a rigid cable member, a latch member, and a lock mechanism. The rail member to move the first cage and the second cage between an installed position, an access position, and a transitional position. The rigid cable member to move with the first cage and the second cage along the rail member. The latch member to retain the first cage and the second cage in the installed position. The lock mechanism to hold the second cage in the access position.
Claims15
A mounting assembly comprising:
- a first cage;
- a second cage;
- a telescoping rail member including a first rail, a second rail, and a third rail, the first rail to receive the first cage and slidably connected to the second rail, the second rail to receive the second cage and slidably connected to the third rail, and the third rail to connect to a chassis, the rail member to allow movement of the first cage and the second cage therealong between an installed position, an access position, and a transitional position;
- a rigid cable member to move with the first cage and the second cage along the rail member;
- a flexible member to move with the rigid cable member to provide additional range of motion;
- a latch member to retain the first cage and the second cage in the installed position;
- and
- a lock mechanism to hold the second cage in the access position.
A system comprising:
- a chassis to receive an electronic component;
- and
- a mounting assembly to mount to the chassis, the mounting assembly including:
- a first cage;
- a second cage;
- a telescoping rail member including a first rail, a second rail, and a third rail, the first rail to receive the first cage and slidably connected to the second rail, the second rail to receive the second cage and slidably connected to the third rail, and the third rail to connect to the chassis, the rail member is to expand in a first direction such that, while expanding, the first rail slides relative to the second rail in the first direction and the second rail slides relative to the third rail in the first;
- a rigid cable member to receive a cable and move with the first cage and the second cage along the rail member;
- a flexible member to move with the rigid cable member to provide additional range of motion;
- a latch member to retain the first cage and the second cage in the chassis;
- and
- a lock mechanism to hold the second cage in an extended position.
