Abstract
Disclosed is a method of strength testing of a drawer of a computer rack system. The method utilizes a test apparatus including a first apparatus plate and a second apparatus plate positioned to define an apparatus slot between the first apparatus plate and the second apparatus plate. The apparatus includes a moveable positioning arm disposed in the apparatus slot, the moveable positioning arm including a holder portion, a force gauge secured to the holder portion; and a force applicator operably connected to the force gauge. The test apparatus is secured to an enclosure of the computer rack system and the drawer is located in a desired position in the enclosure. The force applicator is positioned such that the force applicator contacts the drawer at a testing location, and a force is applied to the testing location via the force applicator.
