Patent ID: 7660112

Claim:
A method for alternate coupling of a modular component to a chassis, comprising: providing a chassis including a chassis base having a plurality of chassis stacking members; providing a first multiple component bay and a second multiple component bay identical to the first component bay, each bay including a plurality of component coupling members and component stacking members; engaging the first component bay coupling members with the chassis stacking members; engaging the second component bay coupling members with the first component bay stacking members, whereby the first and second component bays are mounted in the chassis in a first orientation; removing the first and second component bays; alternatively perpendicularly mounting a support wall to the base of the chassis, the support wall including a plurality of stacking members; and mounting the first and second multiple component bays on the support wall such that the component bays coupling members engage the support wall stacking members, whereby the bays are mounted in the chassis in a second orientation, perpendicular to the first orientation.
