Abstract
A self-retaining rack slide for rack-mounted computer systems. The rack slide includes a slide and a rack mounting member which are fastened together while permitting relative longitudinal movement between the two parts. A biasing mechanism such as a spring is fastened to the mounting member and the slide to urge the two lengthwise apart to increase the length of the slide rack. A complementary slide fastened to a rack component slidingly engages the rack slide to permit the component to be slid into and out of the rack.
