Abstract

Aspects of the disclosure relate generally to rack systems for housing computing devices. The rack may include a plurality of removable shelves. A removable shelf may include a column having a plurality of slots. By stacking a plurality of the removable shelves in the rack, a larger column may be formed. This larger column may provide additional space to mount other features. In one example, the larger column may be used to mount a wire duct. The wire duct may be attached to a mounting plate having a plurality of hooks. The hooks of the mounting plate may mate with the slots of the columns of the shelves. The mounting plates may be used to mount features at other locations on the rack as well.
