ABSTRACT:
A computer chassis having a port adapted to be configured to receive electrical connectors of differing dimensions therethrough and a method of manufacturing such configurable ports. The computer chassis comprises: (1) a chassis wall having a substantially planar portion, the substantially planar portion having a first port therethrough of first predetermined dimensions, the first predetermined dimensions corresponding to external dimensions of a first electrical connector and (2) a partially-sheared punchout section defined in the substantially planar portion of the chassis wall, the punchout section removably coupled to the chassis wall and having an edge contiguous with the first port, the edge forming a portion of a perimeter of the first port and substantially coplanar with the substantially planar portion of the chassis wall, the punchout section selectably removable to create an aperture through the chassis wall, the first port and the aperture cooperating to form a second port through the chassis wall of second predetermined dimensions, the second predetermined dimensions corresponding to external dimensions of a second electrical connector.
