Abstract
Official abstract text for this publication.
An apparatus configured such that hardware components of a server can be accessed from the front of the server. The apparatus comprises a server tower having a front side, a rear side, and at least one chassis. The chassis comprises a motherboard and at least one hard drive housed in the chassis at the front side, the hard drive adapted to be spaced apart above the motherboard. A bracket can support the hard drive. The motherboard I/O and the hard drive are accessible from the front side. The hard drive can be configured in the apparatus such that the hard drive is removable and hot-swappable. The apparatus can comprise at least one coupling port used to couple peripheral devices located at the front side. The apparatus can comprise a front panel attached to the front side through which the at least one coupling port can be accessed.
