FIG. 2 illustrates a front view of an electronic component mounted in a rack, in accordance with various embodiments.

FIGS. 3A and 3B illustrate a detail view of a portion of the component rack system of FIG. 1 showing an example universal mounting system.

FIGS. 4-6 illustrate front views of different examples of a sidewall, support surface and flange of the component rack system of FIG. 1.

Embodiments and techniques described herein are directed to component racks with mounting hardware and electronic components, such as servers, mounted therein. For example, the electronic components can be mounted in slots of uniform height (“uniform slots”) that are provided along the height of the component rack. The uniform slots can be defined by mounting surfaces coupled with the sides of the component rack. The electronic components can include support flanges that can engage with the uniform mounting surfaces of the component rack and allow for the installation of the electronic components without using specialized mounting hardware. For example, an electronic component can be mounted in the component rack by sliding the component into the component rack such that the support flanges of the electronic component are engaged with the mounting surfaces of the component rack.
