Abstract: An assembly and associated installation method for a server or other electronic equipment enclosure installable into a rack by a single person without adverse tolerance stack-up problems. A mounting bracket is attached to each end of a sliding rail coupled to the server or other equipment enclosure. The mounting bracket includes pins which are inserted into mounting apertures in the posts of the rack to temporarily retain and hold the sliding rail in the rack. Subsequently, a single user can then insert screws or other mechanical fasteners to securely attach the mounting bracket and sliding rail coupled thereto to the rack. The mounting bracket is fixedly secured to the rack and the sliding rail is permitted to move, translate or pivot relative to the mounting bracket to account for tolerance stack-up issues or other abnormalities in the dimensional fit between the server and rack system.

Abstract: An assembly and associated installation method for a server or other electronic equipment enclosure installable into a rack solves both the issues of a single person installation method, as well as tolerance stack-up problems. A mounting bracket is attached to each end of a sliding rail coupled to the server or other equipment enclosure. The mounting bracket includes pins which are inserted into mounting apertures in the posts of the rack to temporarily retain and hold the sliding rail in the rack. Subsequently, a single user can then insert screws or other mechanical fasteners to securely attach the mounting bracket and sliding rail coupled thereto to the rack. Advantageously, the mounting bracket is fixedly secured to the rack and the sliding rail is permitted to move, translate or pivot relative to the mounting bracket to account for tolerance stack-up issues or other abnormalities in the dimensional fit between the server and rack system.

Abstract: An enclosure and method for enclosing electronic devices. The enclosure includes channel-shaped members that each have a convex side and a concave side. The enclosure further includes a substantially planar outer surface and an attachment device for attaching the substantially planar outer shell to the concave side of the channel-shaped member such that a rigid, enclosed, substantially tubular structural member is formed, thereby forming a rigid chassis. Additionally, the attachment device includes a trench-shaped member, attached to said substantially planar outer shell, and located between the channel-shaped member and the substantially planar outer shell. The trench-shaped member also includes a fixed device for temporarily fixing the trench-shaped member to the concave side of the channel-shaped member. The enclosure includes four channel-shaped members, such that each channel-shaped member includes a corner post positioned within the enclosure apparatus to form a substantially rectangular structure.
