Abstract

The present invention relates to an electronic equipment rack arrangement principle. In order to allow for the maximum use of COTS (component off the shelf) modules, or, at least, maximum use of “standardized” modules, primarily in relation to the electronic functions of said rack, the electronic equipment rack according to the invention offers a configuration in which the function modules (3) and the interface modules (8) are juxtaposed, preferably vertically, and the electronic functions handled by the function modules (3) are decoupled from the interface functions handled by the interface modules (8). Such a rack also allows for all the maintenance operations to be done through the front panel (F) of said rack, all of its component modules being made accessible from this side.
