Method and apparatus for mounting a drive in a chassis

An information handling system comprising

• a system chassis operable to be positioned in one of a horizontal and a vertical position;
• a drive chassis coupled to the system chassis;
• a first support wall on the drive chassis including a first support structure;
• a second support wall on the drive chassis substantially transverse to the first support wall and including a second support structure;
• and
• a repositionable third support wall including a third support structure and operable to be coupled to the drive chassis in a first position opposite the first support wall to provide support between the first support structure and the third support structure, whereby the third support wall is operable to be repositioned on the drive chassis and coupled to the drive chassis in a second position opposite the second support wall to provide support between the second support structure and the third support structure.

A method for mounting a drive in a chassis comprising:

• providing a system chassis operable to be positioned in one of a horizontal position and a vertical position;
• coupling a drive chassis to the system chassis, the drive chassis including a first support wall having a first support structure and a second support wall having a second support structure, the second support wall being substantially transverse to the first support wall;
• removeably coupling a third support wall to the drive chassis, the third support wall positioned opposite the first support wall and including a third support structure;
• positioning the system chassis in the horizontal position;
• and
• supporting a drive between the first support structure and the third support structure.

A vertical and horizontal drive mounting system comprising:

• a chassis;
• a wall member movably mounted in the chassis in multiple positions and first and second orientations;
• a variety of drive units being mounted in the chassis in the first orientation in response to the wall member being mounted in the first orientation;
• and
• the variety of drive units being mounted in the chassis in the second orientation in response to the wall member being mounted in the second orientation.
