Abstract:
1. An information management system, comprising: a housing having a front panel assembly having a frame formed with an opening and a door adjacent to the opening; and a disk drive within the housing, wherein the disk drive includes an open/close button and a disk drive tray movable between a retracted position and an extended position; wherein the door is movable between a closed position in which the disk drive is not accessible, an ejection position in which the open/close button is pressed, and an open position in which the disk drive is accessible and the disk drive tray is in the extended position through the opening; wherein the front panel assembly further comprises a first actuator arm installed along a side of the opening on a back of the frame; wherein the first actuator arm comprises a proximal end connected to the back of the frame and a distal end configured to move relative to the frame; wherein the first actuator arm further comprises a door engagement structure that extends from the first actuator arm toward a front of the frame; wherein the front panel assembly further comprises a second actuator arm installed along a bottom of the opening on the back of the frame; wherein the second actuator arm comprises a proximal end connected to the back of the frame and a distal end configured to move relative to the frame; wherein the second actuator arm further comprises a disk drive engagement structure that extends from the second actuator arm toward the disk drive; wherein in the closed position, the door is substantially parallel to the frame; and wherein in the ejection position, the door is angled with respect to the frame, the door pushes the door engagement structure, the distal end of the first actuator arm is distanced from the frame, the distal end of the first actuator arm pushes the second actuator arm, the distal end of the second actuator arm moves toward the disk drive, and the disk drive engagement structure pushes the open/close button.
