Abstract
In one aspect, the present invention provides a latch/ejector face plate assembly for an end of an electronics chassis assembly. The face plate is pivotally couplable to a front end of an electronics chassis. The face plate has a latch/ejector that comprises a latching portion that is latchably engageable against a rear side of a latching/fulcrum flange of a electronics rack shelf when the face plate is in a closed position, and an ejector edge that is engageable against a front side of the latching/fulcrum flange when the face plate is in an open position, to thereby provide an ejection force of the electronics chassis.
