Abstract
A server housing assembly includes a main chassis and a bezel assembly. The main chassis preferably has a 1U form factor. The bezel assembly includes a bezel chassis slidably received by the main chassis such that the bezel assembly is slidable between an inward position and an outward position with respect to the main chassis. The bezel assembly includes a bezel pivotally coupled to the bezel chassis to be pivotable between an upper position and a lower position with respect to the main chassis. The main chassis includes main electronic components, and the bezel assembly includes bezel electronic components electrically coupled or coupleable to the main electronic components. The bezel assembly is operatively associated with the main chassis such that the bezel electronic components remain electrically coupled to the main electronic components through all positions of the bezel assembly or the bezel. The bezel assembly is slidable outwardly and pivotable to allow access to information storage devices such as hard disk drives of a server while the bezel remains active. An electrically and remotely controlled locking mechanism is provided to lock the bezel assembly in the inward pos…
