Abstract
A support tray with fold-away handles is disclosed. When the support tray (which may be used to support a printed circuit board) is installed into a computer chassis, the handles are put into an upright position in which the handles extend above the support tray. In this position, the handles can be held by a user to easily lower the support tray into the chassis. When the support tray is not installed in a chassis (e.g. when the support tray is being shipped), the handles are put into a fold-away position in which the handles are situated underneath the support tray. This enables the support tray to maintain a low profile when the handles are not in use.
