ABSTRACT:
A structure and method for removably mounting a chassis within a bay in a frame. The structure includes (1) a stationary mount coupled to an inner wall of the bay, the stationary mount having a mount guide rail and a cam slot associated therewith, (2) a chassis carrier having a cradle associated therewith for receiving a chassis and a carrier guide rail on an outer surface thereof and (3) a mounting handle, rotatably coupled to the chassis carrier to rotate between an insertion orientation and a mounted orientation, the mounting handle having a cam follower associated therewith, the mount and carrier guide rails engageable to guide the chassis carrier along a substantially linear path through the bay, the cam follower engageable with the cam slot only when the mounting handle is substantially in the insertion orientation, the cam follower traversing the cam slot to urge the chassis carrier along the substantially linear path toward a mounted position as the mounting handle is rotated toward the mounted orientation.
