  • Patent number: 7598461
    Abstract: An electronic apparatus is mountable in either of a standard mount state in a rack, or an offset mount state which offsets forward from the standard mount state in a depth direction of the rack. A pair of side boards extend rearward from a front panel in the depth direction, and are spaced apart from each other at left and right sides in a width direction perpendicular to the depth direction. A pair of rack angles are attached to the pair of the side boards, respectively. The rack angle is composed of a first mounting plate and a second mounting plate intersecting perpendicularly to the first mounting plate. One of through-holes formed in the first mounting plate of the rack angle and screw holes formed in the side board is positioned in correspondence to both of the standard mount state and the offset mount state, so that the rack angle is selectively attached to the side board in either of the standard mount state and the offset mount state.
