Abstract
A chassis cover of a host unit, which has a horizontal orientation and a vertical orientation, includes a side cover and a stabilizing stand. The side cover has outer peripheral edges and a cavity. The stand is movable between a closed position and an open position and is coupled to the side cover. The stand fits within the cavity in the side cover to form a substantially contiguous surface when the host unit is in the horizontal orientation and the stand is in the closed position. The stand projects beyond the outer peripheral edges of the side cover in a direction transverse to the depth of the host unit to stabilize the host unit in the vertical orientation resting on the side cover when the stand is in the open position.
