A shelf having self-adjusting mounting rails and a drawer which is slidably mounted to the shelf are provided for a server system rack. The mounting rails of the shelf are telescopically adjustable to vary the lengths of the mounting rails for accommodating racks having varying horizontal depths. Opposite ends of the mounting rails are rigidly fastened to the rack to fix the lengths of the mounting rails to fit the horizontal depth of the rack. The shelf further includes an enclosure which is fastened to the mounting rails. Telescoping, bearing slide assemblies are mounted to respective ones of opposite, interior sides of the enclosure and to opposite exterior sides of the drawer to slidably secure the drawer to the shelf for moving between an inward position, disposed substantially within the shelf, and an outward position, extending exteriorly of the shelf. A flexible cable arm is secured to the rear of the drawer and the rear of the shelf for securing cables which pass between the drawer and the enclosure. A keyboard and a flatscreen monitor are preferably mounted within the drawer. The flatscreen monitor is pivotally mounted to the drawer, such that when the drawer is disposed in the outward position, the monitor may be angularly moved between an upward, viewing position for viewing the monitor and a downward position, stowed within the drawer for sliding underneath the shelf. A monitor clutch is provided for supporting the monitor in the upward, viewing position.

A processor support bracket is provided for mounting a processor cartridge package to a surface of a system baseboard of a personal computer. The processor support bracket includes a mounting section which is mounted to the baseboard to secure the cartridge package to the system baseboard. An end of the mounting section which is disposed adjacent to the surface of the baseboard has two spaced apart apertures which extend therethrough, transverse to the surface of the baseboard. Two slots are formed into the end of said mounting section and extend transverse to the apertures. The slots intersect the respective ones of the apertures and have widths for passing fasteners through the slots and into respective ones of the apertures for securing the mounting section to the system baseboard. The slots have profiles which define shoulders that extend transverse to respective ones of the apertures, with a respective pair of the shoulders spaced apart and facing in opposite directions adjacent to the respective ones of the apertures. The fasteners having protuberances which extend from the fasteners to define annular-shaped ribs which fit flush with the spaced apart shoulders, and between respective pairs of the spaced apart shoulders, such that the respective fasteners are retained from moving from the aperture in a direction which is transverse to the slot.
