Abstract
A shelf unit for use in an electronic equipment rack, comprises an electronic equipment structure for holding electronic equipment. An auxiliary equipment structure, such as a fiber management plate, is provided for holding auxiliary equipment. A fan tray is movable in and out of a corresponding tray support structure forming part of the shelf unit. The tray support structure is configured such that when the associated fan tray is pushed in, the fan tray extends in a plane behind the auxiliary equipment structure, but when pulled out the fan tray drops down to clear the auxiliary equipment structure and provide access to the fan in the tray.
