Flexible power supply unit (PSU) bay
Systems and methods for a flexible Power Supply Unit (PSU) bay are described. In some embodiments, a chassis may include a surface and a PSU adaptor disposed on the surface, the PSU adaptor comprising a tab having a stopper coupled thereto, where the stopper is configured to: (a) resist movement, bending, or deformation of a board perpendicularly disposed with respect to the surface upon insertion of a first PSU into a PSU cage, and (b) move downward upon insertion of a second PSU into the PSU cage.
1. A chassis, comprising:
a surface; and
a Power Supply Unit (PSU) adaptor disposed on the surface, the PSU adaptor comprising a tab having a stopper coupled thereto, wherein the stopper is configured to: (a) resist movement, bending, or deformation of a board perpendicularly disposed with respect to the surface upon insertion of a first PSU into a PSU cage, and (b) move downward upon insertion of a second PSU into the PSU cage.
2. The chassis of claim 1 , wherein the first PSU comprises a redundant PSU, and wherein the second PSU comprises a cabled PSU.
3. The chassis of claim 1 , wherein the surface comprises a metal surface, and wherein the stopper comprises a plastic stopper.
4. The chassis of claim 1 , wherein the second PSU comprises a fastening bar configured to push the tab and the stopper downward upon insertion of the second PSU into the PSU cage.
5. The chassis of claim 4 , wherein the PSU adaptor further comprises at least one pin configured to stop the second PSU upon insertion into the PSU cage at a position where the fastening bar attaches to the surface.
6. The chassis of claim 4 , wherein the stopper is configured to provide electrical insulation between the surface and the second PSU upon insertion into the PSU cage.
7. A Power Supply Unit (PSU) adaptor, comprising:
a tab; and
a stopper coupled to the tab, wherein the stopper is configured to: resist movement, bending, or deformation of a board upon insertion of a first PSU into a PSU cage, and move downward upon insertion of a second PSU into the PSU cage.
8. The PSU adaptor of claim 7 , wherein the first PSU comprises a redundant PSU.
9. The PSU adaptor of claim 7 , wherein the second PSU comprises a cabled PSU.
10. The PSU adaptor of claim 9 , wherein the second PSU comprises a fastening bar configured to push the tab and the stopper downward upon insertion into the PSU cage.
11. The PSU adaptor of claim 10 , wherein the PSU adaptor further comprises at least one pin configured to stop the second PSU upon insertion into the PSU cage at a position where the fastening bar attaches to a surface.
12. The PSU adaptor of claim 11 , wherein the stopper is configured to provide electrical insulation between the second PSU and the surface upon insertion into the PSU cage.
13. An Information Handing System (IHS), comprising:
a board; and
a Power Supply Unit (PSU) adaptor coupled to the board, the PSU adaptor comprising:
a tab; and
a stopper coupled to the tab, wherein the tab and the stopper are configured to move downward upon insertion of a first PSU into a PSU cage, and wherein the stopper is configured to resist movement, bending, or deformation of the board upon insertion of a second PSU into the PSU cage.
14. The IHS of claim 13 , wherein the first PSU comprises a cabled PSU.
15. The IHS of claim 14 , wherein the first PSU comprises a fastening bar configured to push the tab and the stopper downward upon insertion into the PSU cage.
16. The IHS of claim 15 , wherein the PSU adaptor further comprises at least one pin configured to stop the first PSU upon insertion into the PSU cage at a position where the fastening bar attaches to the surface.
17. The IHS of claim 16 , wherein the stopper is configured to provide electrical insulation between the first PSU and the surface upon insertion into the PSU cage.
18. The IHS of claim 13 , wherein the second PSU comprises a redundant PSU.
