Component cabinet

摘要

A free standing component cabinet capable of being rapidly reconverted to allow rack mounting thereof. The cabinet comprises a frame normally used for rack mounting which frame includes front rear and side walls and front mounting flanges having holes therein for securing the frame when mounted in a rack. Detachable top and bottom panels enclose the frame. Detachable face plates are mounted one on each of the side walls and abut the front mounting flange. These face plates provide an air duct to allow air to pass from the frame interior to the rear of the cabinet via a vent hole provided in at least one of the side plates. A fan assists the passage of air through the cabinet.
