Abstract
Embodiments are disclosed of a module attachable to an electronics rack. The module includes a housing attachable to a rear part of the electronics rack. One or more pairs of laterally-running mounting channels are positioned within the housing and one or more service panels are positioned within the housing. Each of the one or more service panels is movably mounted to a corresponding pair of mounting channels, and each of the one or more service panels can be coupled to at least one electronic device to be mounted in the electronics rack. Implementing the modules to racks and data centers can be realized with multiple methods.

A module attachable to an electronics rack, the module comprising:
- a housing attachable to a rear part of the electronics rack;
- two or more pairs of laterally-running mounting channels positioned within the housing;
- and
- two or more service panels positioned within the housing, each service panel being movably mounted to a corresponding pair of mounting channels, wherein each of the two or more service panels can be coupled to at least one electronic device to be mounted in the electronics rack and wherein each service panel can move in its corresponding mounting channels without interfering with another service panel.
A system comprising:
- an electronics rack;
- a module attachable to the electronics rack, the module comprising:
- a housing attachable to a rear part of the electronics rack;
- two or more pairs of laterally-running mounting channels positioned within the housing;
- and
- two or more service panels positioned within the housing, each service panel being movably mounted to a corresponding pair of mounting channels, wherein each of the two or more service panels can be coupled to at least one electronic device to be mounted in the electronics rack and wherein each service panel can move in its corresponding mounting channels without interfering with another service panel.
A data center comprising:
- a data center pod, the data center pod defining a hot aisle and the data center pod being positioned between a pair of cold aisles;
- at least one electronics rack coupled to the data center pod, the electronics rack having a rear module including:
- a housing attachable to a rear part of the electronics rack;
- two or more pairs of laterally-running mounting channels positioned within the housing;
- and
- two or more service panels positioned within the housing, each service panel being movably mounted to a corresponding pair of mounting channels, wherein each of the two or more service panels can be coupled to at least one electronic device to be mounted in the electronics rack and wherein each service panel can move in its corresponding mounting channels without interfering with another service panel.
