The tray has a base sized for supporting a unit of electronic equipment, a back wall extending perpendicularly from the base at a back end of the tray, and opposing side walls spatially separated by the base. Each side wall extends from front to back to meet the back wall. Each side wall has at least one upper rail guide and at least one lower rail guide extending laterally from that side wall. The at least one lower rail guide is spatially separated from and opposite to the at least one upper rail guide.
