Abstract
An adjustable system for mounting data storage chassis allows chassis of differing depths to be mounted to a single set of rack mount posts. The front face of the chassis is attached to two front posts. One or more rails are then slidably inserted into the chassis and attached a corresponding number of rear posts. In one embodiment, two narrow, elongated rails are slidably adjusted into guide paths each comprising two, open and opposing brackets affixed internally to the chassis. The rails are then attached to two corresponding rear posts. In another embodiment, a single, wide rail is slidably adjusted into a single guide path at the bottom of the chassis and is then attached to one of the rear posts.
