Abstract
A mounting bracket for mounting server/switch chassis to a rack is provided. The mounting bracket includes a mounting flange, a member portion connected to a server/switch chassis, a pivoting mechanism connecting the member portion and the mounting flange, where the mounting flange pivots along the pivoting mechanism to move from a first side of the rack to a second side of the rack.
Claims13
A mounting bracket for mounting server/switch chassis to a rack, the mounting bracket comprising:
- a mounting flange;
- a member portion connected to a server/switch chassis;
- and a pivoting mechanism connecting the member portion and the mounting flange, wherein the mounting flange pivots along the pivoting mechanism to move from a first side of the rack to a second side of the rack,
- wherein, when the mounting flange pivots along the pivoting mechanism to the first side of the rack, the server/switch chassis is inserted in the rack in a first direction and removed out of the rack in a second direction, the first direction and the second direction being opposite with each other,
- wherein, when the mounting flange pivots along the pivoting mechanism to the second side of the rack, the server/switch chassis is inserted in the rack in the second direction and removed out of the rack in the first direction;
- wherein the pivoting mechanism further incorporates a sliding mechanism;
- wherein the pivoting of the mounting flange along the pivoting mechanism comprises sliding the mounting flange along the sliding mechanism;
- wherein the mounting flange is configured to slide along the sliding mechanism to overlap the member portion;
- and
- wherein the mounting flange further comprises a locking mechanism to lock the rotatable mounting bracket with the rack once the mounting bracket and the rack come in contact with each other.
