Abstract
A modular component securing apparatus includes a modular component chassis including a first pair of spaced apart parallel walls and a second pair of spaced apart parallel walls positioned substantially transverse to the first pair of parallel walls. A first support structure is positioned on the first pair of parallel walls and a second support structure is positioned on the second pair of parallel walls. A securing member is operable to be coupled to the modular component chassis adjacent one of either the first support structure or the second support structure. A modular component may be secured in the modular component chassis in a first orientation by coupling the modular component to the first support structure and coupling the securing member adjacent the first support structure. The modular component may then be secured in the modular component chassis in a second orientation, which is substantially transverse to the first orientation, by coupling the modular component to the second support structure and coupling the securing member adjacent the second support structure.
