Abstract

An equipment storage apparatus and system includes one or more housing units mounted to a supporting rack structure. The housing units include carrier units which are designed to hold component peripheral units of a centrally located storage system. The carrier units are operable to slide forwardly beyond the housing structure and then pivot to an open position from which access is made available to the rear portion of the carrier from the front of the housing thereby providing frontal access to the cables and connectors located at the rear portion of a peripheral unit.
