Abstract
A mountable computer system includes a primary system structure and a cover. The cover is mountable to a support structure and supports the primary system structure therein. The primary system structure includes one or more connectors for attaching cables to the system. The cover is adapted to enable mating between cables and the primary system structure when inserted therein. The cover and primary system structure are also adapted to enable translation of the primary system structure in the cover with cables attached. A method for accessing computer system internal components includes: disengaging a primary system structure from an inserted position in a cover; sliding the primary system structure to an extended position in the cover while maintaining connection to cables attached to the primary system structure; releasably locking the primary system structure in the extended position in the cover; and accessing internal components disposed on the primary system structure.
