Abstract
A system and method are provided for an interlock that limits the number of electronic devices that may extend from a rack system. In the system, sensors attached to the rack detect the extension of a rail from the rack. The sensors provide a controller with data from which the controller determines a number of rails that are extended from the rack. If the number of extended rails is determined by the controller to exceed a threshold number, the controller actuates a latch system that closes to lock the remaining devices within the rack.
