Use arrow A to display the storage devices 10a, 10b as being contained in the chassis 100, and use arrow B to display the storage devices 10a, 10b as a process of being removed from the chassis 100. In one example, the chassis 100 can be used in a computer system such as a server, but is not limited. As mentioned above, the chassis in other embodiments can be implemented in other computer systems, such as a network switch, a standalone computer, or a storage unit (for example, a cluster disk (JBOD)). In one embodiment, the case 100 is used to be stored on the rack of the computer system. The computer system usually includes a shelving in a rack to store and hold the case securely thereon.

Each of the slots 106a-106d is used to accommodate two storage devices 10 (for example, the storage devices 10a, 10b shown in FIG. 2). Referring to FIG. 3B, the slot 106b is formed by a bottom wall 162, a top wall 164, a first side wall 166, and a second side wall 168. A plurality of guiding extensions 170, 172, 174, 176 are shown, wherein each of the guiding extensions 170, 172, 174, 176 extends inwardly into the slot 106b. The combination of the guide extension and the elongated groove of the storage device discussed above facilitates the insertion, removal and fixation of the storage device in the slot of the chassis. When the guide device is inserted into or taken out of the chassis, the storage device slides on the guide extension.

引導延伸部170從底壁162延伸。引導延伸部170為字母“L”的形狀。如第3B圖所示，引導延伸部170從底壁162向上延伸，然後向內遠離第二側壁168。引導延伸部172、174從第一側壁166延伸。引導延伸部172鄰近於底壁162。引導延伸部174鄰近於頂壁164，引導延伸部172、174通常為矩形。引導延伸部176從頂壁164延伸。引導延伸部176為字母“L”的形狀。引導延伸部176從頂壁164向下延伸，然後向內遠離第二側壁168。 The guide extension 170 extends from the bottom wall 162. The guide extension 170 is in the shape of a letter "L". As shown in FIG. 3B, the guiding extension 170 extends upward from the bottom wall 162 and then moves inwardly away from the second side wall 168. The guide extensions 172 and 174 extend from the first side wall 166. The guiding extension 172 is adjacent to the bottom wall 162. The guide extension 174 is adjacent to the top wall 164, and the guide extensions 172, 174 are generally rectangular. The guide extension 176 extends from the top wall 164. The guide extension 176 is in the shape of a letter "L". The guiding extension 176 extends downward from the top wall 164 and then moves inwardly away from the second side wall 168.

在插槽106c中繪示引導延伸部180、182、184、186，並且在插槽106d中繪示引導延伸部190、192、194、196。這些引導延伸部類似於上述引導延伸部170、172、174、176。 The guide extensions 180, 182, 184, 186 are shown in the slot 106c, and the guide extensions 190, 192, 194, 196 are shown in the slot 106d. These guide extensions are similar to the guide extensions 170, 172, 174, 176 described above.

可以想到的是，在機箱的另一實施例中，引導延伸部可以全部從側壁延伸。可以想到的是，在機箱的另一實施例中，引導延伸部可以全部從端壁延伸。可以想到的是，在機箱的另一實施例中，引導延伸部可以從側壁與端壁的組合延伸。還可以想到的是，引導延伸部的定位可以不同於第3B圖中所示的定位。 It is conceivable that in another embodiment of the case, the guide extension part may extend entirely from the side wall. It is conceivable that, in another embodiment of the case, the guide extension may extend entirely from the end wall. It is conceivable that in another embodiment of the cabinet, the guide extension may extend from the combination of the side wall and the end wall. It is also conceivable that the positioning of the guide extension may be different from that shown in Figure 3B.

參照第4圖，其繪示機箱100的多個插槽106b-106d中的多個儲存設備10a-10f的前視示意圖。固定多個儲存設備10a-10f的多個插槽106b-106d被繪示。具體地，插槽106b固定儲存設備10a、10b。更具體地，引導延伸部170、172從相對側向內延伸以牢固地接合儲存設備10a，而引導延伸部174、176從相對側向內延伸以牢固地接合儲存設備10b。類似地，引導延伸部180、182固定儲存設備10c，而引導延伸部184、186固定儲存設備10d。類似地，引導延伸部190、192固定儲存設備10e，而引導延伸部194、196固定儲存設備10f。 Referring to FIG. 4, it shows a schematic front view of a plurality of storage devices 10a-10f in a plurality of slots 106b-106d of the chassis 100. Multiple slots 106b-106d holding multiple storage devices 10a-10f are shown. Specifically, the slot 106b fixes the storage devices 10a, 10b. More specifically, the guide extensions 170, 172 extend inwardly from opposite sides to firmly engage the storage device 10a, and the guide extensions 174, 176 extend inwardly from opposite sides to firmly engage the storage device 10b. Similarly, the guide extensions 180, 182 fix the storage device 10c, The guiding extensions 184 and 186 fix the storage device 10d. Similarly, the guide extensions 190, 192 fix the storage device 10e, and the guide extensions 194, 196 fix the storage device 10f.

參照第5圖，繪示部分機箱100的放大前視圖。與第4圖的儲存設備10a-10f不同，第5圖的機箱100包括固定在其中的儲存設備210。儲存設備210實質上佔據由底壁162、頂壁164、第一側壁166與第二側壁168形成的插槽106b的空間。在一個實施例中，儲存設備210是1×2.5英吋的硬碟驅動器(HDD)。HDD是一種電磁資料儲存設備，其使用磁儲存與一個或多個塗有磁性材料的快速旋轉的盤片來儲存與檢索數位資料。 Referring to FIG. 5, an enlarged front view of part of the chassis 100 is shown. Unlike the storage devices 10a-10f of FIG. 4, the chassis 100 of FIG. 5 includes a storage device 210 fixed therein. The storage device 210 substantially occupies the space of the slot 106 b formed by the bottom wall 162, the top wall 164, the first side wall 166 and the second side wall 168. In one embodiment, the storage device 210 is a 1×2.5 inch hard disk drive (HDD). HDD is an electromagnetic data storage device that uses magnetic storage and one or more rapidly rotating disks coated with magnetic materials to store and retrieve digital data.

因此，插槽106b用以容納多個儲存設備10a、10b(第4圖)或一個儲存設備210(第5圖)。這是有利的，因為機箱100在其配置方面具有靈活性以容納多種類型與尺寸的儲存設備。將不同的儲存設備安裝到機箱中也可以有效地安裝與更換儲存設備。因此，機箱可以包括第一儲存設備(10、10a、10b)與第二儲存設備210的組合。 Therefore, the slot 106b is used to accommodate a plurality of storage devices 10a, 10b (Figure 4) or one storage device 210 (Figure 5). This is advantageous because the chassis 100 has flexibility in its configuration to accommodate storage devices of various types and sizes. Installing different storage devices into the chassis can also effectively install and replace storage devices. Therefore, the chassis may include a combination of the first storage device (10, 10a, 10b) and the second storage device 210.

參照第6圖，其繪示儲存設備310的側面示意圖。根據另一實施例，儲存設備310是E1.S托架。除了用於與機箱的引導延伸部接合並固定的特徵之外，儲存設備310與以上關於儲存設備10、10a、10b所述的相同。取代儲存設備10、10a、10b中的細長凹槽30、32，儲存設備310包括多個固定突起330、332，所述多個固定突起330、332與機箱的引導延伸部一起操作以固定儲存設備。 Referring to FIG. 6, it shows a schematic side view of the storage device 310. According to another embodiment, the storage device 310 is an E1.S bracket. Except for the feature for engaging and fixing with the guide extension of the chassis, the storage device 310 is the same as that described above with respect to the storage devices 10, 10a, 10b. Instead of the elongated grooves 30, 32 in the storage device 10, 10a, 10b, the storage device 310 includes a plurality of fixing protrusions 330, 332 that operate together with the guide extension of the chassis to fix the storage device .

儲存設備310包括底面312、頂面314、第一側面316、相對的第二側面318、第一端320與相對的第二端322。頂面包括多個固定突起。330、332用以經由多個引導延伸部將儲存設備310與機箱固定。 The storage device 310 includes a bottom surface 312, a top surface 314, a first side surface 316, an opposite second side surface 318, a first end 320 and an opposite second end 322. The top surface includes a plurality of fixing protrusions. 330 and 332 are used for fixing the storage device 310 to the chassis via a plurality of guiding extensions.

參照第7圖，其繪示當儲存設備310牢固地接合到機箱300的多個相對的引導延伸部370、372時的固定突起330的放大剖面圖。固定突起330包括頂部330a與桿部330b。在該實施例中，固定突起330具有字母“T”形式的橫截面形狀。頂部330a防止或禁止儲存設備310被無意地重新定位，而沒有以上述第2圖中關於儲存設備10a、10b的描述方式移除儲存設備310。 Referring to FIG. 7, it shows an enlarged cross-sectional view of the fixing protrusion 330 when the storage device 310 is firmly coupled to the plurality of opposite guide extensions 370 and 372 of the chassis 300. The fixing protrusion 330 includes a top portion 330a and a rod portion 330b. In this embodiment, the fixing protrusion 330 has a cross-sectional shape in the form of a letter "T". The top 330a prevents or prohibits the storage device 310 from being unintentionally repositioned, without removing the storage device 310 in the manner described above with respect to the storage devices 10a, 10b in Figure 2 above.
