Abstract
A system and apparatus for enabling top, front and rear access to a rack mounted computer device includes a computer device mounted into a rack structure with a pair of rails attached to opposing sides of the computer device, where the rails slidingly couple with respective slide assemblies on the rack structure. The slide assemblies and the rails cooperate with each other to allow the computer device to be extended from a front opening and a rear opening of the rack structure. The slide assemblies and the rails further cooperate to lock the computer device in a position proximate to the rear opening of the rack structure.
