Abstract

A rack-mounted bracket assembly comprises a main member having a first end, a second end, and a shelf therebetween. A set of long tabs is disposed on the first end of the main member. A set of short tabs is disposed on the second end of the main member. A retention latch is connected to the main member and limits the movement of the bracket within a rack.

Description

BACKGROUND [0001] For large-scale computing applications that require numerous servers, an industry standard EIA (Electronics Industries Alliance), or other type, rack is often used to contain servers in a stacked arrangement that uses the available space more efficiently. Such electronics racks are relatively simple structures that closely resemble open-frame bookcases. Computer server / component racks are typically constructed with perforated, hinged front-doors, rigid sides and a removable rear panel. Industry standard 19″ EIA electronics racks are designed typically to house a column of electronics packages that are 17¾″ in width with varying depths. The height of an electronics package can vary but is normally an integer multiple of an EIA unit called simply the “U.” An EIA U is 1.75 inches. Electronic equipment generally has a height in multiples of “Us” e.g., 1 U (1.75″), 2 U (3.50″), 3 U (5.25″), etc. [0002] Typically, electronic components may be secured within the rack usin...
