It may contain circuitry that would otherwise be contained in the computing equipment, such as a systems management unit (14) when the computing equipment is a server (22). The bracket (10) has an inner size and shape that generally conforms to the outer sides and back of the computing device (22). It has grooves (31) or other means for holding the computing device (22) while the computing device (22) is installed in the rack (20).
