  • Side door for computer chassis
    Patent number: 6109710
    Abstract: A chassis cover for a host unit of a computer system is disclosed. The chassis cover is preferably capable of covering a chassis which includes mountings for components which are movable in a direction. The chassis cover includes a first surface, and a movable side door having a closed position and an open position. The side door provides an opening in the chassis cover when in the open position to permit the mountings to be extended toward the opening when the side door is in the open position. By permitting the mountings to be extended toward an opening provided by the side door, the components within the host unit may be accessed and serviced without removing a heavy display monitor.
