Abstract

A computer system is provided. The computer system includes a computer chassis at least partially defining an interior. The computer system also includes a module configured for movement with respect to the computer chassis along an insertion axis between a retracted position substantially within the interior of the computer chassis and an extended position at least partially withdrawn from the interior of the chassis. The module includes a housing configured to extend within the interior of the chassis. The housing includes a body portion configured to move with respect to the computer chassis along the insertion axis, and a pivoting portion coupled to the body portion to pivot between a retracted position substantially aligned along the insertion axis and an extended position oriented at an angle with respect to the insertion axis.
