Abstract

An open source mounting system. The open source mounting system includes an open source mounting bay, the open source mounting bay defining a plurality of guide slots; a first open source card module, the first open source card module being positioned within the open source mounting bay via a first pair of the plurality of guide slots; and, a second open source card module, the second open source card module being positioned within the OCP mounting bay via a second pair of the plurality of guide slots.

Claims (47)

1 . An open source mounting system, comprising:

an open source mounting bay, the open source mounting bay defining a plurality of guide slots;

a first open source card module, the first open source card module being positioned within the open source mounting bay via a first pair of the plurality of guide slots; and,

a floating open source retention system, the floating open source retention system comprising

a floating open source component guide device; and,

a floating open source component retention device, the floating open source component retention device providing access to the floating open source component guide device when in an open position and fixedly mounting a floating open source receiving assembly within the open source mounting bay when in a closed position.

2 . The open source mounting system of claim 1 , wherein:

the first open source card module comprises an internally latched open source card and an open source internal latch open source mounting tray.

3 . The open source mounting system of claim 2 , wherein:

the internally latched open source card is attached to the open source internal latch open compute project mounting tray via a rotating tray mounting latch.

4 . The open source mounting system of claim 1 , wherein:

the first open source module mates with the floating open component receiving assembly when the first open source module is installed in the open source mounting bay.

5 . The open source mounting system of claim 1 , wherein:

the floating open source component retention device comprises a cross member and a retention member, the cross member extending across the open source mounting bay, the retention member extending substantially perpendicularly from the cross member.

6 . An open source mounting system comprising:

an open source mounting bay, the open source mounting bay defining a plurality of guide slots;

a first open source card module, the first open source card module being positioned within the open source mounting bay via a first pair of the plurality of guide slots; and,

a second open source card module, the second open source card module being positioned within the open source mounting bay via a second pair of the plurality of guide slots; and

a floating open source retention system, the floating open source retention system comprising

a floating open source component guide device; and,

a floating open source component retention device, the floating open source component retention device providing access to the floating open source component guide device when in an open position and fixedly mounting a floating open source receiving assembly within the open source mounting bay when in a closed position.

7 . The open source mounting system of claim 6 , wherein:

the first open source card module comprises an internally latched open source card and an open source internal latch open compute project mounting tray.

8 . The open source mounting system of claim 7 , wherein:

the internally latched open source card is attached to the open source internal latch open source mounting tray via a rotating tray mounting latch.

9 . The open source mounting system of claim 6 , wherein:

the second open source module comprises an externally latched open source card and an open source external latch open source mounting tray.

10 . The open source mounting system of claim 6 , wherein:

the floating open source component retention device comprises a cross member and a retention member, the cross member extending across the open source mounting bay, the retention member extending substantially perpendicularly from the cross member.

11 . A system comprising:

a processor;

a data bus coupled to the processor;

an open source mounting system comprising

an open source mounting bay, the open source mounting bay defining a plurality of guide slots;

a first open source card module, the first open source card module being positioned within the open source mounting bay via a first pair of the plurality of guide slots; and,

a second open source card module, the second open source card module being positioned within the open source mounting bay via a second pair of the plurality of guide slots; and

a floating open source retention system, the floating open source retention system comprising

a floating open source component guide device; and,

a floating open source component retention device, the floating open source component retention device providing access to the floating open source component guide device when in an open position and fixedly mounting a floating open source receiving assembly within the open source mounting bay when in a closed position.

12 . The system of claim 11 , wherein:

the first open source card module comprises an internally latched open source card and an open source internal latch open source mounting tray.

13 . The system of claim 12 , wherein:

the internally latched open source card is attached to the open source internal latch open compute project mounting tray via a rotating tray mounting latch.

14 . The system of claim 11 , wherein:

the second open source module comprises an externally latched open source card and an open source external latch open source mounting tray.

15 . The system of claim 11 , wherein:

the floating open source component retention device comprises a cross member and a retention member, the cross member extending across the open source mounting bay, the retention member extending substantially perpendicularly from the cross member.
