  • Patent number: 7065933
    Abstract: A trim piece for mounting to an electronic equipment cabinet, a mounting arrangement, and a method of mounting a trim piece to an electronic equipment cabinet or rack. The trim piece may be mounted on a support member of an electronic equipment cabinet to conceal a recess in the support member, for example, a recess used to route electrical wires or cables. The trim piece may also be mounted to a cabinet to conceal equipment mounting holes in the frame of the cabinet. The trim piece may include projections or recesses for attaching to the frame or support members. A trim piece may be mounted by means of intermediate spacers that may be threaded into the mounting holes in the frame. The spacers may provide means for mounting the trim piece to the spacers, for example, by means of a snap fit or slide fit.

  • Patent number: 6831225
    Abstract: A cabinet for mounting electronic equipment having power input port mounted external to the frame of the cabinet in order to make installation of a power input unit more convenient. The power input port may be mounted on the bottom of the cabinet whereby the power input unit, for example, a power distribution unit, may be installed prior to, during, or after installation of the cabinet. In addition, among other things, the mounting of a power input unit outside the frame of the cabinet provides for improved accessability and servicing of the power input unit and provides for more usable space inside the cabinet frame.

  • Publication number: 20020171340
    Abstract: A cabinet for mounting electronic equipment having support members with recesses for routing electrical cable, a support member having a recess for routing cable and a method for routing electrical cable in an electronic equipment cabinet. The recess in the support member provides a convenient pathway for routing electrical cables to equipment mounted in the cabinet which facilitates conduit installation and minimizes exposer of the cables to damage during operation and servicing. The support members include horizontal and vertical members as well as connecting members having recesses for providing routing of cables from the horizontal to the vertical members. The support members may also be adapted for covering the recesses with trim pieces which conceal the recesses and the cables they contain.

  • Publication number: 20020172013
    Abstract: An arrangement for supporting an electronic equipment cabinet, and a method for supporting an electronic equipment cabinet which provide a more stable mounting for supporting devices, such as casters and seismic supports. The arrangement and method of supporting can be utilized with an electronic equipment cabinet having a rigid frame structure comprised of vertical and horizontal support members. The horizontal support members provide mounting surfaces to which supporting devices, such as casters, seismic supports, and the like, can be mounted to provide a stronger, more rigid mounting that is less susceptible to deflection and failure.
