US 2026/0122816 A1 · INFORMATION HANDLING SYSTEM ADD-IN CARD RELEASE

Abstract

An information handling system motherboard add-in card slot accepts an add-in card that cooperates to process information, such as graphics processing card that generates pixel values for presentation at a display. An add-in card release couples to the motherboard near the add-in card slot with a lifting member aligned to apply a lifting force to remove the add-in card in response to a press by an actuator member displaced for better end user interactions. In one example embodiment, the lifting member has first and second arms on opposing sides of the add-in card slot rotationally coupled to a base. In an alternative embodiment, the lifting member has a pulley engaged with a wire that applies a lifting force when a push button actuator member is pressed.

Dependent claims

An information handling system comprising:

a housing;
a circuit board coupled in the housing;
a processor coupled in the housing and interfaced with the circuit board, the processor operable to execute instructions that process information;
a memory coupled in the housing and interfaced with the processor through the circuit board and operable to store the instructions and information;
an add-in card slot interfaced with the processor through the circuit board and configured to accept an add-in card to process information in cooperation with the processor;
a lifting member coupled to the circuit board proximate the add-in card slot and aligned to press away from the add-in card slot at an installed add-in card to move the installed add-in card outward from the add-in card slot;
and
a actuator member coupled to the lifting member distal the add-in card slot.
