The method further includes: rearranging the trays in the tray feeder to a first tray arrangement adapted for the first board type, based on recognized placement position of the tray and the first tray arrangement data, before start of production of the board of the first board type; and rearranging the trays in the tray feeder to a second tray arrangement adapted for the second board type, based on the second tray arrangement data, before start of production of the board of the second board type. | 2015-08-27 |
20150245498 | EXTERNALLY SERVICEABLE IT MEMORY DIMMS FOR SERVER/TOWER ENCLOSURES - A method is disclosed for manufacturing an electronic component carrier. The method comprises positioning a header of a frame between opposing attachment arms extending outwardly for attaching an electronic component for seating within the frame. Further, latching members of a latching mechanism of the frame are positioned at a distal end of each of the attachment arms for releaseably seating the electronic component. The attachment arms are resiliently flexible such that the latching members bend to a release position and resiliently return to a grasping position for releasing and grasping the electronic component. Handling levers are positioned for removably mating the electronic component to a connector on a circuit board. The handling levers extend upwardly through an outer casing housing the circuit board when in an open position, and the handling levers are substantially parallel with a top surface of the header when in a closed position. | 2015-08-27 |
