Abstract
A chassis which comprises a first frame and a second frame is provided. The first frame includes a front surface and a pair of first flanges formed on opposing edges of the front surface. The second frame includes a pair of side surfaces. Each side surface has an edge with a second flange and a plurality of aligned guide elements. The second flanges and the guide elements define guide channels for slidably receiving the first flanges. A cover assembly for the chassis comprises a panel having a first inner surface, a hook, and a standoff projecting from the first inner surface. The hook has a leg portion and an arm portion which may be inserted into a slot in one of the surfaces of the chassis.
