Abstract
An external power supply support system includes an enclosure with indentations spanning its top and side surfaces in a substantially horizontal fashion, and a caddy with a shell-like body configured to engage at least a portion of the indented power supply enclosure. The shell-like caddy body is provided with mounting apertures spaced according to standard rack rail aperture spacing. The mounting apertures emanate from a series of integral structures bulging from the bottom surface of the shell-like caddy body. The bulging aperture structures in combination with several integral structural ribs are configured collectively to provide a substantially flat and elevated interface suitable for secure mounting of the caddy to a support surface.
