New PCI riser cage fasteners fit next generation servers

Southco has expanded its successful line of DZUS quick access fasteners with a new version designed for PCI riser cages that offers quick access and shock resistance when connected to next generation server chassis models. The DZUS D9 Tech Line quick access PCI riser cage fastener assembly locks into position quickly and can be easily unfastened to save service time.

The DZUS D9 Tech Line quick access PCI riser cage fastener assembly is designed to accommodate size 2U servers currently produced by leading OEMs. The quick access fastener offers a user-friendly solution for telecom, networking and data storage applications, holding PCI graphics, audio and storage cards securely in place.

The DZUS D9 Tech Line quick access PCI riser cage fastener assembly features a captive, spring-loaded design and tool-free operation, locking firmly into position to provide shock and vibration resistance. The user simply pushes down on the cap while rotating 180 degrees to fasten the server cage to the mating receptacles on the chassis. Set clamping force provided by the fastener prevents over-tightening. Available in multiple colour options, the cap enables designers to designate access through an array of standard and custom colour options.
