Abstract

A bottom system of storage system. The bottom system includes a bottom component; a storage card, the storage card being configured to be mounted within the bottom component; and, a card removal device mounted within the bottom component, the card removal device comprising a base portion; and, a pull tab component, the pull tab component being configured such that when the pull tab component is actuated, the pull tab component extends and lifts the storage card to remove the storage card from the bottom component of the storage system.

Claims (15)

1 . A card removal device for use with a storage system for an information handling system, comprising: a base portion; and, a pull tab component, the pull tab component being configured such that when the pull tab component is actuated, the pull tab component extends and lifts a card of the storage system to remove the card from a bottom component of the storage system, the pull tab component including a pull tab base portion and a pull tab vertical wall portion and a pull tab top wall portion, the pull tab vertical portion being pivotally coupled with the pull tab base portion along a bottom edge of the pull tab vertical portion and an inside edge of the pull tab base portion.

2 . The card removal device of claim 1 , wherein: the pull tab top wall portion is pivotally coupled with the pull tab vertical portion along an inside edge of the pull tab top portion and a top edge of the pull tab vertical portion.

3 . The card removal device of claim 1 , wherein: as the pull tab component extends, the pull tab base portion and the pull tab vertical wall portion combine to provide an angled wall.

4 . The card removal device of claim 1 , wherein: the pull tab base portion defines an aperture, the aperture being configured to fit over a card alignment projection of the bottom component of the storage system.

5 . The card removal device of claim 1 , wherein: the card includes a predefined keep out zone; and, the pull tab component is sized so as to not interfere with a keep out zone of the card.

6 . A bottom system of a storage system comprising: a bottom component; a storage card, the storage card being configured to be mounted within the bottom component; and, a card removal device mounted within the bottom component, the card removal device comprising a base portion; and, a pull tab component, the pull tab component being configured such that when the pull tab component is actuated, the pull tab component extends and lifts the storage card to remove the storage card from the bottom component of the storage system, the pull tab component including a pull tab base portion and a pull tab vertical wall portion and a pull tab top wall portion, the pull tab vertical portion being pivotally coupled with the pull tab base portion along a bottom edge of the pull tab vertical portion and an inside edge of the pull tab base portion.

7 . The bottom system of claim 6 , wherein: the pull tab top wall portion is pivotally coupled with the pull tab vertical portion along an inside edge of the pull tab top portion and a top edge of the pull tab vertical portion.

8 . The bottom system of claim 6 , wherein: as the pull tab component extends, the pull tab base portion and the pull tab vertical wall portion combine to provide an angled wall.

9 . The bottom system of claim 6 , wherein: the pull tab base portion defines an aperture, the aperture being configured to fit over a card alignment projection of the bottom component of the storage system.

10 . The bottom system of claim 6 , wherein: the storage card includes a predefined keep out zone; and, the pull tab component is sized so as to not interfere with a keep out zone of the storage card.

11 . A system comprising: a chassis; a processor contained within the chassis; a data bus coupled to the processor; and, a storage system comprising a bottom system, the bottom system comprising a bottom component; a storage card, the storage card being configured to be mounted within the bottom component; and, a card removal device mounted within the bottom component, the card removal device comprising a base portion; and, a pull tab component, the pull tab component being configured such that when the pull tab component is actuated, the pull tab component extends and lifts the storage card to remove the storage card from the bottom component of the storage system, the pull tab component including a pull tab base portion and a pull tab vertical wall portion and a pull tab top wall portion, the pull tab vertical portion being pivotally coupled with the pull tab base portion along a bottom edge of the pull tab vertical portion and an inside edge of the pull tab base portion.

12 . The system of claim 11 , wherein: the pull tab top wall portion is pivotally coupled with the pull tab vertical portion along an inside edge of the pull tab top portion and a top edge of the pull tab vertical portion.

13 . The system of claim 11 , wherein: as the pull tab component extends, the pull tab base portion and the pull tab vertical wall portion combine to provide an angled wall.

14 . The system of claim 11 , wherein: the pull tab base portion defines an aperture, the aperture being configured to fit over a card alignment projection of the bottom component of the storage system.

15 . The system of claim 11 , wherein: the storage card includes a predefined keep out zone; and, the pull tab component is sized so as to not interfere with a keep out zone of the storage card.
