A mounting bracket forms a rack mount for a rack-mountable unit. The mounting bracket includes a planar body portion and a latching pivot for insertion into an aperture in a side wall of the rack-mountable unit. A head on the latching pivot is arranged to be insertable into a correspondingly shaped aperture, with securing of the mounting bracket to the rack-mountable unit being achieved by rotating the rack mount with respect to the rack-mountable unit with the latching pivot fully inserted into the aperture. On rotation, the head of the latching pivot is arranged to engage behind the side wall of the rack-mountable unit to secure the mounting bracket to the rack-mountable unit. Detent flanges on the mounting bracket prevent over-rotation of the bracket. A flange is provided for attaching the mounting bracket to the rack. Bumps or other projections on the body portion urge the body portion away from the side of the rack mountable unit on rotation of the mounting bracket, whereby the head of the latching pivot engages securely behind the side wall of the rack-mountable unit.
