Patent attributes
A modular DIMM carrier and riser slot device includes a slot section having a slot configured to hold a plurality of memory device planars, a first latch disposed at a first end of the slot section and pivotably connected to the slot section and capable of securing a first end of the memory device planars; a second latch disposed at a second end of the slot section and pivotably connected to the slot section and capable of securing a second end of a first memory device planar, and a third latch pivotably connected to the slot section and disposed intermediate between the first and the second latches, the third latch capable of securing a second end of a second memory device planar. The slot section has an auxiliary slot section defined as an section between the second latch and the third latch. The auxiliary slot section includes a notch for receiving the third latch when the third latch is in a disengaged position, a retention notch that restrains movement of the third latch when the third latch is in an engaged position, and a power and signaling section that includes power and signaling connections usable by one or more of the memory device planars.
