Method and apparatus for securing a modular component in a chassis

An information handling system comprising:

• an information handling system chassis operable to be positioned in a horizontal orientation and a vertical orientation;
• a modular component chassis mounted in the information handling system chassis;
• a first support structure positioned on the modular component chassis;
• a second support structure positioned on the modular component chassis and substantially transverse to the first support structure;
• and
• a securing member operable to be coupled to the modular component chassis adjacent one of either the first support structure and the second support structure.

A modular component securing apparatus comprising:

• a modular component chassis;
• means for coupling a modular component to the modular component chassis in a first orientation and a second orientation;
• and
• means for securing a modular component to the modular component chassis in the first orientation, whereby the means for securing may be reconfigured to secure a modular component to the modular component chassis in the second orientation.

A method for securing a modular component to a chassis comprising:

• providing an information handling system chassis including a modular component chassis mounted to the information handling system chassis;
• coupling a modular component to the modular component chassis in a first orientation;
• securing the modular component to the modular component chassis by coupling a securing member to the modular component chassis;
• decoupling the securing member from the modular component chassis;
• decoupling the modular-component from the modular component chassis;
• coupling the modular component to the modular component chassis in a second orientation which is substantially transverse to the first orientation;
• and
• securing the modular component to the modular component chassis by coupling the securing member to the modular component chassis.
