Abstract: An electronic system has electronic equipment (e.g., data storage equipment), and an electronic cabinet assembly which is configured to support the electronic equipment. The electronic cabinet assembly includes a first electronic cabinet frame defining a first set of electronic equipment bays to carry a first portion of the electronic equipment, and a second electronic cabinet frame defining a second set of electronic equipment bays to carry a second portion of the electronic equipment. The electronic cabinet assembly further includes a set of latch subassemblies which is configured to selectively (i) interconnect the first and second electronic cabinet frames, and (ii) disconnect the first and second electronic cabinet frames from each other. Accordingly, a user is capable of conveniently attaching the electronic cabinet frames together using the set of latch subassemblies, and optionally separating the electronic cabinet frames at a later time, without handling any nuts or bolts.
