Abstract

A server system includes a chassis, a first cover, and a second cover. The chassis defines an opening. The first cover is secured to the chassis and defines a recess for receiving a disk drive. The second cover is secured to the chassis. The first cover is rotatable between a first position, where the first and second covers cover the opening, and a second position, where the first cover is rotated away from the second cover. The recess is located outside the chassis when the first cover is in the first position.

Claims (23)

1. A server system comprising:

a chassis defining an opening and comprising a bottom plate;

a first cover secured to the chassis, a top surface of the first cover defining a recess for receiving a disk drive exposed from the top surface of the first cover; and a first end of the first cover is pivotably mounted to two opposite plates, a second end of the first cover is engaged with the second cover when the first cover is in the first position; and

a second cover secured to the chassis and substantially parallel to the bottom plate;

wherein the first cover is rotatable between a first position, where the first and second covers cover the opening, and the first cover is substantially parallel to the bottom plate; and a second position, where the first cover is rotated away from the second cover, and the first cover is substantially parallel to the bottom plate; and the first cover with the recess is located outside the chassis when the first cover is in the second position.

2. The server system of claim 1 , wherein two positioning flanges are located on the first cover; and the two opposite side plates are positioned between the two positioning flanges when the first cover is in the first position.

3. The server system of claim 1 , wherein two securing pieces are located on the two opposite side plates; and two mounting pieces are located on the first cover and pivotably secured to the two securing pieces.

4. The server system of claim 3 , wherein the two mounting pieces are positioned between the two securing pieces.

5. The server system of claim 1 , wherein the chassis further comprises a front plate connected to the two opposite side plates; and the first cover abuts the front plate and the two opposite side plates when the first cover is in the first position.

6. The server system of claim 5 , wherein the chassis further comprises a rear plate connected to the two opposite side plates; and the second cover is secured to the rear plate and the two opposite side plates.

7. The server system of claim 6 , wherein the two opposite side plates are substantially perpendicular to the front plate and the rear plate.

8. A server system comprising:

a chassis defining an opening and comprising a bottom plate;

a first cover pivotably secured to the chassis by a first end, a top surface of the first cover defining a recess for receiving a disk drive exposed from the top surface of the first cover; and a second cover secured to the chassis to cover a part of the opening, and the second cover is substantially parallel to the top surface of the first cover when the first cover covers rest of the opening;

wherein the first cover is moved between a first position, where the first cover is engaged with the second cover to cover rest of the opening; and a second position,

where an opposite second end of the first cover is disengaged from the second cover; and the first cover with the recess is located outside the chassis and substantially parallel to the bottom plate when the first cover is in the second position.

9. The server system of claim 8 , wherein the chassis comprises two opposite side plates; and the first cover is pivotably secured to the two opposite side plates.

10. The server system of claim 9 , wherein two positioning flanges are located on the first cover; and the two opposite side plates are positioned between the two positioning flanges when the first cover is in the first position.

11. The server system of claim 9 , wherein two securing pieces are located on the two opposite side plates; and two mounting pieces are located on the first cover and moveably secured to the two securing pieces.

12. The server system of claim 11 , wherein the two mounting pieces are positioned between the two securing pieces.

13. The server system of claim 9 , wherein the chassis further comprises a front plate connected to the two opposite side plates; and the first cover abuts the front plate and the two opposite side plates when the first cover is in the first position.

14. The server system of claim 13 , wherein the chassis further comprises a rear plate connected to the two opposite side plates; and the second cover is secured to the rear plate and the two opposite side plates; and the two opposite side plates are substantially perpendicular to the front plate and the rear plate.

15. The server system of claim 8 , further comprising a rack, the chassis being secured to the rack.
