Abstract
Components can be received within regions of limited access present in an equipment-supporting rack using an installation fixture including a pair of mounting plates which are pivotally connected to each other by a hinge positioned along lateral edges of the respective mounting plates. One mounting plate includes a bracket for fixed connection to the rack, and the other mounting plate includes a surface for receiving a desired component. Rotation of the mounting plate receiving the component relative to the mounting plate fixed to the rack permits the component to be conveniently accessed when servicing is desired, and returned to the region of limited access during normal system operations. A locking mechanism is preferably provided for securing the component and the mounting plate which receives the component in desired position during normal system operations.
