AI Technical Summary
Technical Problem
Current electronic equipment racks are overly expensive and complex to manufacture and/or assemble, necessitating a need for improved designs.
Method used
The proposed electronic equipment rack system consists of a plurality of frame assemblies disposed in parallel, with upper and lower rail crossmembers that support the frame assemblies in fixed, spaced relation. The system simplifies manufacturing and assembly by limiting structural members to a few identical and symmetrical types, which can be assembled using mechanical fasteners.
Benefits of technology
This design reduces manufacturing costs and complexity, facilitates easier assembly, and allows for efficient use of structural members, making it suitable for stationary rack installations such as data centers.

Abstract
An electronic equipment rack system can include a plurality of frame assemblies disposed in parallel with one another, a plurality of upper rail crossmembers and a plurality of lower rail crossmembers. The crossmembers can be coupled to the frame assemblies. The crossmembers can support adjacent ones of the frame assemblies in fixed, spaced relation to one another. Each frame assembly can include a first frame post, a second frame post, a first frame crossmember, and a second frame crossmember. The first and second frame posts can be coupled to the first and second frame crossmembers with the fronts of the first and second frame posts facing opposite of each other. The bottom end of each frame post can be coupled to a surface supporting the frame post.
