Claims12
A method for packaging a heat sink assembly comprising:
- placing the heat sink assembly in a container, including folding the container at a handle of the container to bring together a first container section of the container and a second container section of the container so that the heat sink assembly is contained within the first container section and the second container section, wherein the handle includes a first handle section foldable with respect to a second handle section at a foldable handle interface hingedly interconnecting the first handle section and the second handle section, wherein folding the container at the handle includes folding about the foldable handle interface to bring together the first handle section and the second handle section;
- and,
- securing the container within a hard disk drive cage.
A container for packaging a heat sink assembly, the container comprising:
- a first container section;
- a second container section having an appendage;
- and
- a folding handle connecting the first container section to the second container section at a foldable handle interface so that when the first container section and the second container section are attached together to package the heat sink assembly, the folding handle provides a hand grip for transporting the container;
- wherein the handle includes a first handle section foldable with respect to a second handle section at the foldable handle interface hingedly interconnecting the first handle section and the second handle section, wherein the folding handle is foldable about the foldable interface to bring together the first handle section and the second handle section;
- wherein the first container section and the second container section are shaped so that when the heat sink assembly is placed within the container, the container fits within a hard disk drive cage so that a hard disk drive latch engages the appendage so as to lock the container within the hard disk drive cage.
