- said upper rack section having an upper opening therein for engaging said electronic equipment therein;
- said lower rack section positioned atop a first surface area of said top surface of said platform;
- said upper rack section in a pivoting engagement with said lower rack section;
- said upper rack section having a retracted position wherein a top side of said upper rack section is positioned atop a second surface area of said top surface which is adjacent said first surface area;
- said upper rack section having a deployed position wherein a bottom side thereof, opposite said topside, is positioned atop a top side of said lower rack section;
- and
