A shelf device facilitates access to electronic modules within an enclosure having multiple vertically stacked levels of module storage locations. A pair of support arms each have an attachment structure on a distal portion of the support arm that is designed to attach to a first one of the vertically stacked levels. A guide rail extends from the distal portion of the support arm toward a proximal portion of the support arm. A cross brace structure is configured to pivotally attach to distal portions of the pair of support arms and a proximal portion of a first one of the support arms. A pair of vertical braces are each configured to pivotally attach to a respective one of the pair of support arms and having a detachable connection structure that is designed to attach to a second one of the vertically stacked levels.

A vented door for a computer system includes a vented base and an outer door. The vented base and the outer door are separately pivotable. The vented base is pivotably attached to the computer system's enclosure for movement between a closed configuration where the vented base abuts against a panel of the enclosure and an open configuration where the vented base is swung away from the panel. The outer door is pivotably attached to the vented base to avoid interfering with a neighboring computer system's vented door as the vented base is pivoted to the open configuration. An acoustic noise reduction lining is provided on the outer door and in the air flow apertures of the vented base. The outer door is preferably removable from the vented base so that the combined weight of the vented base and the outer door need not be lifted when removal is necessary.

Disclosed is a server control panel system including a server disposable in a rack, a rail flange extending from each of two opposite ends of a front face of the server, the flanges being configured associate the server with the rack, a panel opening defined by the front face, the panel opening disposed in proximity to one of the flanges, a server cavity in communication with the panel opening, a rail system disposed in the server cavity adjacent to a panel wall of the server, the panel opening being disposed in alignment with the rail system, a control panel including a face and a body, the control panel being translatably disposed with the rail system to move between a closed position and open position, the body being at least partially extended into an ambient environment of the server via the panel opening when in the open position.

A method and implementing computer system enclosure is provided which includes a selectively removable base support unit which is designed to stabilize vertical mounting capabilities when the base unit is attached to the enclosure and to allow horizontal mounting of the electronics enclosure when the base unit is detached. The electronics enclosure includes a locking edge on one of its sides. The locking edge is selectively engageable with a base support unit to provide a wide footprint for stable mounting of the electronics enclosure on the side of the enclosure which has the base unit attached. In an exemplary embodiment, the locking edge is tapered to force a tight fit between the enclosure and the support base unit. A locking mechanism is also operable at one end of the support base unit-electronics enclosure interface to provide a positive stop to lock the enclosure in place relative to the support base unit.
