Abstract
A rack including a rail for supporting a computer module and a grounding element electrically coupled to the rack and positioned to electrically contact a computer module inserted in the rack such that the grounding element provides a path to ground. The grounding element can be an arcuate bracket attached to the rail to make contact with a side of the computer module. The grounding element can be a conductor extending from the rack and positioned to make contact with a side of the computer module. The rack can include a wider section which provides a cabling channel and a member on the rack for mechanically coupling the rack to an adjacent rack. The rack can include at least one passage for allowing a cable to pass through the rack to an adjacent rack and a cable organizer for maintaining placement of at least one cable routed through the passage.
