An equipment rack with a compact adjustable cable management arm is disclosed. The equipment rack includes a plurality of chassis slots arranged vertically. Each chassis slot is operable to hold at least one removable electronic device. A pair of side rails supports the plurality of chassis slots. An adjustable cable management arm is located on one end of the side rails. The adjustable cable management arm has at least a first vertical position allowing access to one of the chassis slots. The adjustable cable management arm has a second vertical position allowing access to another of the chassis slots blocked by the cable management arm when the cable management arm is in the first vertical position.

Vertical adjustable cable management arm

An apparatus adapted to house a component oriented in a first direction used for facilitating insertion and removal of the component in a second direction to/from a chassis, the first direction orthogonal to the second direction. The apparatus can be a caddy with an attached pivoting handle. Pivoting the handle in the first direction down towards the caddy causes the hard drive to slide in the second direction to couple with a hard drive coupling on the chassis. In some implementations, the caddy houses a hard drive in a vertical orientation, such that multiple hard drives can be coupled side-by-side to each other. In some implementations, the caddy is removably attached to the chassis. The chassis can comprise a rail, and the handle can comprise a hook. The hook attaches to the rail forming a removable attachment that allows for easy removal and insertion of the caddy.
