Abstract
A mounting frame located in a computer cabinet equipment drawer can be transitioned to a loading position to receive an electrical device. The mounting frame in the loading position provides ample manipulation space for connecting or removing the electrical device. The mounting frame may also be retracted to an operational position. The retracted mounting frame allows the electrical device to be positioned in a dense array with minimal space between electrical devices. The mounting frame supports positioning a plurality of electrical devices in dense arrays within a computer equipment cabinet equipment drawer while also providing an adequate manipulation space for connecting and removing the electrical devices. The arrangement allows the electrical devices to be hot swappable while still being densely located.
