Abstract
An information handling system (IHS) has a lightweight server (LWS) chassis that is user selectable from multiple LWS chassis. Each LWS chassis includes a chassis base having structural configuration that enables placement of the LWS chassis in a nested, stacked configuration with a second LWS chassis placed atop the LWS chassis and a third LWS chassis placed below the LWS chassis. Multiple LWS chassis can be stacked in a vertical space whose height is less than a sum of individual heights of each of the multiple LWS chassis. The IHS further includes compute components inserted into the LWS chassis and one or more connecting cabling interconnecting the at least two compute components.

An information handling system (IHS) comprising:
- a lightweight server (LWS) chassis that is user selectable from multiple LWS chassis, each of the multiple LWS chassis comprising a chassis base having structural configuration that enables placement of the LWS chassis in a nested, stacked configuration with a second LWS chassis placed atop the LWS chassis and a third LWS chassis placed below the LWS chassis, wherein the multiple LWS chassis can be stacked in a vertical space with a height that is less than a sum of individual heights of each of the multiple LWS chassis;
- at least two compute components inserted into the LWS chassis;
- and
- one or more connecting cablings interconnecting the at least two compute components.
