Abstract
An Information Handling System (IHS) includes a chassis having a base panel, a selected modular cover, and a latching structure. The base panel has an upper chassis surface to receive selected compute components and infrastructure components that vary in height desired for the fully assembled IHS or rack in which the IHS will be inserted. The selected modular cover can have peripheral sides of a vertical height to complement a vertical height of the lateral guides of the base panel to create either a first height enclosure of a first height to house compute components of less than the first height or a second height enclosure of a second height to house compute components of less than the second height but greater than the first height. The latching structure is formed between the peripheral sides of the selected one of the first and second modular cover and the lateral guides of the base panel.
