Abstract
A rack computer system. In one embodiment, a rack structure having a pair of mounting legs each having a rail interface oriented in a plane transverse to the pair of mounting legs. The rack computer system also has a computer chassis having a pair of mounting rails movable along the rail interface between a plurality of mounting depths oriented along the plane. In another embodiment, a method of forming a versatile rack mount. The method comprises providing a rack structure having dual mounting legs, coupling at least part of a rail and rail interface assembly to the dual mounting legs, and enabling variable-depth mounting of a desired computer chassis via the rail and rail interface assembly
