Abstract

Example techniques for using a release latch to access a second tray of a server are disclosed. An example method includes operating a server in a rack. A release latch is engaged to initiate movement of a first tray of the server away from a second tray located behind the first tray. The second tray can then be accessed to remove and replace a storage drive from the second tray while the server remains in operation.
