Abstract
An apparatus and system are provided for vertically storing computing devices. The present invention conserves horizontal space in a rack mount frame by supporting an I/O service terminal station requiring substantially no horizontal storage space. The present invention includes at least one support connected to a mounting mechanism to permit the I/O devices or I/O service terminal stations to transition between an access position and a vertical storage position. Furthermore, the present invention allows a user to adjust or position the I/O devices in a variety of positions to accommodate the user.
