An apparatus comprising:

• an electronics rack comprising a frame;
• a rack-mountable assembly comprising:
• a structure configured for the electronics rack;
• and
• a spring-hinged mounting bracket associated with and extending from a side of the structure to facilitate mounting the structure to the frame, the spring-hinged mounting bracket facilitating insertion of the structure into the frame by pivoting inward towards the side of the structure upon the spring-hinged mounting bracket encountering an obstruction as the rack-mountable assembly is positioned within the frame for mounting to the frame.

A method comprising:

• providing a rack-mountable assembly for an electronics rack, the providing comprising:
• providing a structure to be mounted to a frame of the electronics rack;
• and
• associating a spring-hinged mounting bracket with a side of the structure to extend from the side of the structure and facilitate mounting the structure to the frame, the spring-hinged mounting bracket facilitating insertion of the structure into the frame by pivoting inward towards the side of the structure upon the spring-hinged mounting bracket encountering an obstruction as the rack-mountable assembly is positioned within the frame for mounting to the frame.
