Adaptor for a device rack

A system for mounting one or more substantially planar first electronic devices on a device rack, the system comprising:

• the device rack, wherein the device rack comprises a plurality of rack mounting points for mounting one or more second electronic devices on the device rack;
• and
• an adaptor, wherein the adaptor comprises a coupling portion configured to couple to the device rack, and a mounting portion comprising one or more adaptor mounting points configured for mounting the first electronic devices on the adaptor, wherein the mounting portion comprises first and second mounting surfaces configured to couple to the first electronic devices, the first and the second mounting surfaces being spaced apart from one another in a vertical direction of the adaptor, wherein the mounting portion is movable relative to the coupling portion between a first position and a second position such that, when the adaptor is coupled to the device rack and the mounting portion is in the first position, the first electronic devices mounted on the adaptor are located within the device rack and are mounted on one or more planes which extend vertically and laterally relative to the device rack, wherein a lateral dimension of the first electronic devices is aligned with the vertical direction of the adaptor and a depth direction of the first electronic devices is aligned with a lateral direction of the adaptor, and when the mounting portion is in the second position, the first electronic devices mounted on the adaptor are located at least partially outside of the device rack.

A method of mounting one or more substantially planar first electronic devices on a device rack system, the system comprising:

• a device rack comprising a plurality of rack mounting points for mounting one or more second electronic devices on the device rack;
• and
• an adaptor comprising a coupling portion configured to couple to the device rack and a mounting portion comprising one or more adaptor mounting points configured for mounting the one or more first electronic devices on the adaptor, wherein the mounting portion comprises first and second mounting surfaces configured to couple to the first electronic devices, the first and the second mounting surfaces being spaced apart from one another in a vertical direction of the adaptor, wherein the mounting portion is movable relative to the coupling portion between a first position and a second position,
• wherein the method comprises:
• coupling the adaptor to the device rack in such a way that when the adaptor is coupled to the device rack and the mounting portion is in the first position, the first electronic devices mounted on the adaptor are located within the device rack and are mounted on one or more planes which extend vertically and laterally relative to the device rack, wherein a lateral dimension of the first electronic devices is aligned with the vertical direction of the adaptor and a depth direction of the first electronic devices is aligned with a lateral direction of the adaptor, and when the mounting portion is in the second position, the first electronic devices mounted on the adaptor are located at least partially outside of the device rack.
