Slide out readily accessible chassis having a trough for protecting cables and a hinge that includes a conduit

摘要

A computer system electromagnetic interference (EMI) shield housing is bolted on a rack for allowing simplified access to modules and circuit boards mounted to a chassis which is slidably mounted to the interior of the housing. EMI gasketing is mounted integral with and extending around the perimeter of a first access opening of the housing and a rear access opening of the housing. A front panel and a rear panel of the chassis provides EMI shielding when the chassis is fully recessed within the housing. The chassis can be extended beyond the housing a distance adequate to allow access to all aspects of computer system modules and to cables at the rear of the chassis. A hinge mounted to the rear of the chassis and to the interior rear of the housing in conjunction with a cable trough and conduits located on the hinge allows power and input/output (I/O) cables to move outwardly and extend with the chassis.
