Abstract
A rack for mounting electronic equipment comprises two spaced plates each having a series of aligned channels. Each item of electronic equipment is carried by a frame which is located in the guideway defined by an opposed pair of channels, and the frame is individually clamped in each channel. Large items of equipment are held in several frames interconnected by resilient metal strips, but each frame is still individually locked in its respective pair of channels. Thus each frame has an independent thermal path to each plate, with predictable, uniform characteristics; in addition, the entire assembly is resistant to dynamic loads. The plates and/or the frames may be force-ventilated.
