Abstract: The present invention is a computing appliance chassis assembly which may support an integration of a plurality of removable modules, including fan modules, power supplies, and a controller module. The computing appliance chassis assembly may also include detachable handles which may allow transport of the computing appliance chassis assembly. A controller chassis may be installed within the computing appliance chassis assembly. A controller chassis assembly may house a controller module and may include rotatable side panels which allow easier access to the components of the controller module. A fan chassis assembly may also be installed within the computing appliance chassis and may house a fan module.

Abstract: The present invention is an apparatus for supporting the dense integration of a plurality of multi-drive modules. A chassis assembly of the present invention may house a plurality of multi-drive modules whereby each multi-drive module may house multiple drives. Each multi-drive module may be easily removed from the chassis for reduced serviceability time. Each drive may be housed within a carrier assembly, the carrier assembly being easily removed from the multi-drive module of the present invention. Advantageously, a dense integration of drives may be achieved while providing proper ventilation and vibration dampening.
