Abstract
Bottom mounting rails are used to secure a double wide plug-in module or two full wide plug in-modules into a double wide bay of an electronic device. This allows the size of the electronic device to be minimized. Further, the space adjacent to the sides of plug-in modules is left open facilitating airflow through the electronic device and efficient cooling thereof. The bottom mounting rails allow either a double wide plug-in module or two full wide plug-in modules to be readily installed.
