Bladed chassis systems

A chassis system comprising:

• a housing including first and second sidewalls extending between a bottom wall and a top wall to define an interior, the first and second sidewalls also extending between an open front of the housing and an open rear of the housing, each of the first and second sidewalls including a guide member, the interior of the housing having a width extending between the first and second sidewalls, a depth extending between the open front and open rear, and a height extending between the top and bottom walls;
• and
• a plurality of blades configured to slide relative to the housing and to be retained within the housing, each blade extending the width of the interior of the housing, each blade including a latching arrangement configured to cooperate with the guide member to lock the blade into at least one discrete position, and to allow the blade to selectively move relative to the housing between the discrete positions so that the blades can be inserted into and removed from the open front and can be inserted into and removed from the open rear, the latching arrangement of each blade including a handle extending forwardly of the blade at a location offset along the width towards the first sidewall.
