Claims16
A configurable bracket for mounting an electronic device within a chassis of an information handling system, comprising:
- a bracket adapted for mounting in a first chassis configuration, the bracket including at least one connection portion suitable for connecting an electronic device to the bracket;
- and
- an extension suitable for extending said bracket for mounting in a second chassis configuration, and
- a second extension connected to said extension, the second extension suitable for being connected to the chassis of an information handling system in the second chassis configuration, wherein the first chassis configuration is in compliance with a low profile PCI specification and the second chassis configuration is in compliance with a PCI specification.
An apparatus, comprising:
- a configurable bracket suitable for attaining a first position and a second position, wherein the first position is suitable for mounting an electronic device in accordance with a PCI specification and the second position is suitable for mounting an electronic device in accordance with a low profile PCI specification, said configurable bracket including:
- a bracket member;
- an extension, wherein the extension is movable from a stow position in compliance with the low profile PCI specification to a position suitable for engaging a chassis of an information handling system in the PCI specification, and
- a second extension, connected to the extension extending said bracket for mounting, in the second position, the second extension suitable for being connected to a chassis of an information handling system in the PCI specification.
A configurable bracket for mounting an electronic device within a chassis of an information handling system, comprising:
- a bracket adapted for mounting in a first chassis configuration, the bracket including at least one connection portion suitable for connecting an electronic device to the bracket;
- and
- a means for extending connected to the bracket, the extending means suitable for extending said bracket for mounting in a second chassis configuration;
- and
- a second means for extending, coupled to the means for extending, the second means for extending being suitable for being connected to a chassis of an information handling system in the second chassis configuration, wherein the first chassis configuration is in compliance with a low profile PCI specification and the second chassis configuration is in compliance with a PCI specification.
