Abstract
A system is configured for installing a replaceable component at a replaceable component locus in an equipment cabinet having a front and back plane and a plurality of sides. A fixed component occupies a first volume that establishes a replaceable component volume between the first volume and the back plane. The system includes: (a) a substrate supporting the replaceable component that presents substantially parallel first and second edges in a substrate plane; and (b) a guide structure fixed with the cabinet that cooperates with the substrate to slidingly move the substrate along a replacement route between the front plane and a replacement locus in the replaceable component volume in alternate first and second installation movements. The first installation movement is responsive to a first installation force applied to the substrate in the substrate plane. The second installation movement is responsive to a second installation force applied generally perpendicular with the substrate plane.
