Abstract
A data-center drawer may include an outerassembly that is removably attached to a data-center rack and an inner assembly that (1) houses at least one computing component and (2) is configured to extend between (a) a closed position in which the inner assembly is enclosed within the outer assembly and (b) an open position in which the inner assembly is at least partially extended from the outer assembly. The data-center drawer may also include a cable track, positioned within the inner assembly, that houses at least one cable that provides connectivity to the computing component. The cable track may (1) at least partially fold upon itself as the inner assembly moves from the open position to the closed position and (2) at least partially unfold as the inner assembly extends from the closed position to the open position. Corresponding systems and methods of assembly are also disclosed.
