Common filler for mounting cages having different dimensions

An adjustable support assembly of a drive cage of an information processing device, comprising:

• a mounting cage configured to attach to a chassis of an information processing device and to interchangeably receive a plurality of module housings attached thereto, each of the module housings configured to receive at least one pluggable module;
• and
• a filler configured to be attachable to the mounting cage in a plurality of installation configurations,
• wherein, on condition of one of the module housings being attached to the mounting cage, an unoccupied portion of the drive cage is defined between the module housing and the mounting cage,
• wherein a size of the unoccupied portion is variable depending on which of the module housings is attached to the mounting cage,
• wherein the filler is configured to, when attached to the mounting cage, extend a distance across an opening of the unoccupied portion, wherein the distance is variable dependent upon which of the installation configurations the filler is attached in,
• wherein the mounting cage comprises a frame portion,
• wherein the frame portion comprises a plurality of frame attachment features configured to individually engage with the filler to attach the filler to the frame portion in respectively corresponding installation configurations of the installation configurations, and
• wherein the frame attachment features have mutually different vertical positions relative to a top plate of the frame portion.

A method comprising:

• attaching a mounting cage for a drive cage to a chassis of an information processing device;
• attaching a module housing to the mounting cage such that an unoccupied portion is defined between the module housing and the mounting cage, wherein module housing is one of a plurality of module housings which are interchangeably attachable to the mounting cage and have varying dimensions among one another, wherein each of the module housings is configured to receive at least one pluggable module;
• and
• attaching a filler to the mounting cage in an installation configuration, wherein the filler is configured to be interchangeably attachable to the mounting cage in a plurality installation configurations including the installation configuration, wherein the filler is configured to extend a distance across an opening of the unoccupied portion that varies depending upon which of the installation configurations is selected, wherein the mounting cage comprises a frame portion, wherein the frame portion comprises a plurality of frame attachment features configured to individually engage with the filler to attach the filler to the frame portion in respectively corresponding installation configurations of the installation configurations, and wherein the frame attachment features have mutually different vertical positions relative to a top plate of the frame portion.
