Claims21
A hard-disk drive carrier, comprising:
- a carrier frame configured to receive and affix a hard-disk drive thereto;
- and
- a door frame coupled to the carrier frame, the door frame comprising:
- a door pivotably coupled to the door frame;
- configured to rotate outward with respect to the door frame;
- a first spring configured to apply a torsion force to bias the door inward with respect to the door frame;
- a latch pawl configured to lock the hard-disk drive carrier to a chassis;
- and
- a second spring configured to apply a compressive force to bias the latch pawl to protrude beyond the door frame and engage with the chassis,
- wherein the door is further configured to contact and retract the latch pawl when the door is rotated outward.

A bezel assembly for a rack-mountable chassis, the bezel assembly comprising:
- a bezel body;
- a first latch handle and a second latch handle moveably coupled to the bezel body and configured to:
- extend beyond first and second sides of the bezel body, respectively and engage with a rack-mountable chassis;
- and
- retract inward from the first and the second sides of the bezel body and disengage from the rack-mountable chassis;
- a first compression spring and a second compression spring configured to bias the first latch handle and the second latch handle, respectively, outward to extend beyond the first and the second sides of the bezel body;
- a locking lever configured to:
- lock and maintain an extension of at least one of the first latch handle and the second latch handle beyond the first and second sides of the bezel body when the locking lever is in a first position;
- and
- allow at least one of the first latch handle and the second latch handle to retract inward from the first and second sides of the bezel body when the locking lever is in a second position, different than the first position;
- and
- a torsion spring coupled to the locking lever and configured to bias the locking lever toward the second position,
- wherein the bezel body is locked to the rack-mountable chassis when at least one of the first latch handle and the second latch handle is engaged with the rack-mountable chassis.
