Abstract
A removable hard disk module is described. The removable hard disk module has a module sidewall, a first slide rail, and a second slide rail. The first slide rail and the second slide rail are fixed on the module sidewall and the second slide rail is disposed above the first slide rail. The first slide rail is made of a linear material such as a piano wire or the like. The second slide rail is directly formed on the module sidewall or made of the linear material. The removable hard disk module further includes a handle with a withdrawal post to push a support stud on a module fixing device for withdrawing the removable hard disk module from the module fixing device when the handle is opened.
Claims18
A removable hard disk module installed in a module fixing device, the removable hard disk module comprising:
- a module sidewall;
- a first slide rail fixed on the module sidewall, wherein the first slide rail is an elastically linear slide rail made of a linear material;
- and
- a second slide rail fixed on the module sidewall and above the first slide rail, wherein the first slide rail and the second slide rail support the removable hard disk module so that the removable hard disk module slides in the module fixing device, and the module fixing device further comprises a supporting wall, the supporting wall further comprising at least two support studs to support the removable hard disk module and each of the support studs comprises a support block to increase contact surfaces for the first slide rail and the second slide rail.
A removable apparatus comprising:
- a removable module for fixing an electrical device therein, wherein the removable module further comprises:
- a module sidewall;
- a first slide rail fixed on the module sidewall, wherein the first slide rail is an elastically linear slide rail made of a linear material;
- a second slide rail fixed on the module sidewall and above the first slide rail wherein the second slide rail is directly pressed on the module sidewall;
- and
- a module fixing device, wherein the module fixing device further comprises:
- a supporting wall;
- and
- at least two support studs fixed on the supporting wall to couple to the first slide rail and the second slide rail of the removable module, whereby the removable module is installed and slides in the module fixing device.
A removable apparatus utilized in a server rack for installing an electrical device in the server rack, the removable apparatus comprising:
- a removable module for fixing the electrical device therein, wherein the removable module further comprises:
- a module sidewall;
- a first slide rail fixed on the module sidewall, wherein the first slide rail is an elastically linear slide rail made of a piano wire;
- a first rail support hook fixed on the module sidewall to support the first slide rail;
- a first rail fixing hook fixed on the module sidewall to prevent the first slide rail from moving up;
- and
- a second slide rail fixed on the module sidewall and above the first slide rail;
- and
- a module fixing device, wherein the module fixing device further comprises:
- a supporting wall;
- a first stud fixed on the supporting wall;
- and
- a second support stud fixed on the supporting wall, wherein the first support stud and the second support stud couple to the first slide rail and the second slide rail of the removable module, whereby the removable module is installed and slides in the module fixing device, and the first support stud is smaller than the second support stud.
