Installation And Removal Of Computing Components

Abstract

Included are embodiments for installation and removal of computing components. More specifically, at least one embodiment of an apparatus includes at least one removable support platform configured to define a computing device bay and at least one removable switch divider configured to further define the computing device bay, the computing device bay configured to receive a double-high component.

1 . An apparatus, comprising:
 at least one removable support platform configured to define a computing device bay; and   at least one removable switch divider configured to further define the computing device bay, the computing device bay configured to receive a double-high component.   
   
   
       2 . The apparatus of  claim 1 , wherein the at least one removable switch divider is configured for configuring the computing device bay to receive a double-high, double-wide component. 
   
   
       3 . The apparatus of  claim 1 , wherein the at least one removable support platform includes at least one locking tab for toollessly securing the removable support platform in the computing device bay. 
   
   
       4 . The apparatus of  claim 1 , wherein the at least one switch divider includes at least one locking tab for toollessly locking the switch divider in the computing device bay. 
   
   
       5 . The apparatus of  claim 1 , wherein the at least one removable support platform includes at least one locking tab for toollessly removing the removable support platform from the computing device bay. 
   
   
       6 . The apparatus of  claim 1 , wherein the at least one switch divider includes at least one locking tab for toollessly removing the switch divider from the computing device bay. 
   
   
       7 . A apparatus, comprising:
 means for defining a horizontal portion of a computing device bay; and   means for defining a vertical portion of the computing device bay, the computing device bay configured to receive a double-wide component.   
   
   
       8 . The apparatus of  claim 7 , wherein the means for defining a vertical portion of the computing device bay is configured for the computing device bay to receive a double-high, double-wide component. 
   
   
       9 . The apparatus of  claim 7 , further comprising means for locking the means for defining the horizontal portion into computing device bay. 
   
   
       10 . The apparatus of  claim 7 , further comprising means for locking the means for defining a vertical portion into the computing device bay. 
   
   
       11 . The apparatus of  claim 7 , further comprising means for locking the means for defining a horizontal portion into the computing device bay. 
   
   
       12 . The apparatus of  claim 7 , further comprising means for toollessly removing the means for defining a vertical portion from the computing device bay. 
   
   
       13 . A method, comprising:
 toollessly securing a removable support platform configured to define a computing device bay; and   toollessly securing a removable switch divider configured to further define the computing device bay, the computing device bay configured to receive a double-high component.   
   
   
       14 . The method of  claim 13 , wherein toollessly inserting the removable support platform includes at least one of the following:
 rotating the removable support platform relative to horizontal;   inserting the removable support platform into the computing device bay;   aligning at least one locking tab on the support platform with at least one recession; and   engaging the at least one locking tab with the at least one recession by rotating the removable support platform back to horizontal.   
   
   
       15 . The method of  claim 13 , wherein toollessly inserting the removable switch divider includes at least one of the following:
 rotating the removable support platform relative to vertical;   inserting the removable switch divider into the computing device bay;   aligning at least one locking tab on the support platform with at least one recession; and   engaging the at least one locking tab with the at least one recession by rotating the removable support platform back to vertical.
