Abstract
An electronics rack component including at least one slide locking mechanism for removably securing the component to a rack. The slide lock mechanism includes a slide lock with a support configured to slide along a flat flange portion of the rail. A release lever protrudes from the top surface of the support base and provides a structure or surface for a user's finger to slide the support base along the flat flange portion. A locking latch extends downward from the bottom surface of the base and through the slot in the rail. The locking latch includes a portion spaced apart from the bottom surface of the base a distance to accommodate the flat flange portion and a flange on the electronics rack. A spring biases the slide lock toward the end of the component.
