摘要： A cubical computer housing assembly comprises first and second ends and four sides, which define an interior compartment for housing the various computer components. The first and second ends are rigidly connected to one another and are slidingly detachable from four sides of the assembly. The interior compartment comprises three parallelepiped portions, one for accommodating a plurality of circuit boards, one for accommodating a heat sink and hard disk drive, and one for accommodating other memory device such as a CD ROM or DVD player. A hard disk drive is slidingly mounted in a frame which is rigidly mounted relative to the first and second ends. A hinged door on which is mounted a printed circuit board can be moved to an open position to provide access to the disk drive for removal and replacement of same.

摘要： Various arrangements of carrier trays and carriers for data storage devices, such as disk drives, are disclosed. The carrier trays and carriers have air flow holes that are carefully arranged to promote good air flow across the data storage devices. In one example, the air holes in a tray are arranged so that, when a data storage device is received on the tray, air passing over a first surface of the base from the forward end can pass through the base, over a part of a second surface and back through the base to flow across the recess typically located under the data storage device.

摘要： A drive bracket assembly includes a drive bracket and a back panel. The drive bracket includes a first side plate and a second side plate with a securing post. The securing post includes a thin shank portion and a thick head portion. The back panel has a first edge and a second edge, and defines a locking hole corresponding to the securing post. The locking hole has an inserting hole and a restricting hole. In assembly, the securing post inserts into the inserting hole of the back panel with the head portion passing through the inserting hole and the shank portion received in the inserting hole. The back panel moves to have the first edge resisting against the first side plate. The shank portion of the securing post moves into the restricting hole to sandwich the back panel between the head portion of the securing post and the second side plate.

摘要： A system for communication between components in a computer storage system includes a drive enclosure device having a plurality of disk drives. A switch module is electrically coupled to the drive enclosure device. The module has a plurality of physical layer links (PHYs). The module generates out-of-band (OOB) signals to transmit to the drive enclosure device, detects an active drive enclosure device by interrogating the PHYs, and sends a serial management protocol (SMP) instruction to the drive enclosure device to perform a task.

摘要： A media library assembly (10) includes a host controller (12), a first data transfer assembly (18A) and a second data transfer assembly (18B), which can be remotely positioned from the first data transfer assembly (18A). The host controller (12) sends a first command signal to the first data transfer assembly (18A) to request a transfer of a first block of data relative to a target storage media (22). The first data transfer assembly (18A) receives the first command signal, determines the location of the target storage media (22), and initiates a second command signal to the second data transfer assembly (18B) to request the transfer of the first block of data relative to the target storage media (22). The second data transfer assembly (18B) transfers the first block of data relative to the target storage media (22) in response to the second command signal. The first data transfer assembly (18A) then returns a status to the host controller (12) regarding the transfer of the first block of data. The first block of data can be transmitted between the first data transfer assembly (18A) and the second data transfer assembly (18B) via an Ethernet connection, a Fibre Channel connection, or via the Internet, over wired or wireless connections. The second command signal occurs transparently to the host controller (12).

摘要： Disclosed are ways of providing a highly flexible high availability storage system. Disk drive carriers for insertion into enclosures in a storage system include several disk drives. The enclosures accept carriers that include drives of different sizes, and drives compatible with different storage technologies, for instance Fibre Channel, SATA, or SAS. Drives oriented in their carriers in a manner that allows them to be connected to a common medium via identical flex circuits that are configured based on the orientation of the drives. Redundant controllers include redundant serial buses for transferring management information to the carriers. The carriers include a controller for monitoring the multiple serial buses and producing storage technology specific management commands for the disk drives.

摘要： There is provided an electronic apparatus that can solve the problem with the prior art that a removable electronic device is removed while the removable electronic device is in operation, leading to unfavorable results. A disk unit is removably attached to the main body of the electronic apparatus and receives at least one removable hard disk as a removable electronic device removably attached thereto. A locking mechanism locks together the disk unit and the main body. A CPU controls the locking mechanism to inhibit the disk unit and the main body from being locked together while the removable hard disk is in operation.

摘要： The invention provides a tape library wherein the accommodated number of cassette tapes can be adjusted freely. Where one or more expansion units are connected to a basic unit, when a transport mechanism is positioned within the basic unit, a control circuit section of the basic unit controls the position and operation of the transport mechanism with reference to a position reference point of the basic unit, but when the transport mechanism is within an expansion unit, the control circuit section controls the position and operation of the transport mechanism with reference to a position reference point of the expansion unit. The control circuit section and the transparent mechanism of the basic unit are interconnected by a flat cable like an elongated belt which includes a plurality of conductors extending in parallel to each other and joined together with an insulating material, and when an expansion unit is coupled, the cable for interconnecting the transport mechanism and the control circuit section need not be replaced. This allows smooth coupling of an expansion unit and smooth transportation of a recording medium in the expansion unit to a recording and/or playback section by the transport mechanism of the basic unit.
