Front subchassis and rear electronics bay

The server chassis consists of three parts, which include the following:

Main chassis

Front subchassis (sometimes called the C-tilt)

Rear electronics bay

Both the front subchassis and the rear electronics bay swing open. Additionally, you can completely remove them to gain access to the server’s internal components. You can more easily open and remove the front subchassis and electronics bay if the system is laying on its side (rack-mount orientation).
