Abstract

See full text

A computing equipment box assembly can include a mechanical chassis component, which can include a support sheet configured for supporting computing components. A plurality of passages can be formed through the support sheet. A mechanical cable can be routable down through at least one of the passages and up through at least one other of the passages. A tensioner can be couplable with the cable and adjustable to modify an amount of tension in the cable so as to alter an amount of pre-bow or pre-bend present in the mechanical chassis component. For example, the mechanical cable may be tensioned to apply a force to the support sheet and counteract an upward pre-bend or pre-bow so that the computing components are prevented from protruding into an adjacent upper volume for an upper computer server overhead and from sagging into an adjacent lower volume for a lower computer server underneath.
