A shelf device facilitates access to electronic modules within an enclosure having multiple vertically stacked levels of module storage locations. A pair of support arms each have an attachment structure on a distal portion of the support arm that is designed to attach to a first one of the vertically stacked levels. A guide rail extends from the distal portion of the support arm toward a proximal portion of the support arm. A cross brace structure is configured to pivotally attach to distal portions of the pair of support arms and a proximal portion of a first one of the support arms. A pair of vertical braces are each configured to pivotally attach to a respective one of the pair of support arms and having a detachable connection structure that is designed to attach to a second one of the vertically stacked levels.

1. A system for facilitating access to electronic modules within an enclosure having multiple vertically stacked levels of module storage locations, the system comprising: a shelf device that includes: a pair of support arms each having an attachment structure on a distal portion of the support arm that is designed to attach to a first one of the vertically stacked levels;a horizontal support platform extending from the distal portion of the support arm toward a proximal portion of the support arm and that, while the support arms are attached to one of the vertically stacked levels, is designed to support weight of an electronic module by providing a horizontal surface upon which a bottom of the electronic module can rest as the electronic module is moved from the distal portion of the support arm and toward the proximal portion of the support arm;a vertical guide rail extending perpendicular to support platform from the distal portion of the support arm toward the proximal portion of the support arm and that, while the support arms are attached to one of the vertically stacked levels, is designed to guide movement of the electronic module toward the proximal portion of the support arm by inhibiting lateral movement of a side of the electronic module as the electronic module is moved from the distal portion of the support arm and toward the proximal portion of the support arm along the support platform;a cross brace structure pivotally attached to distal portions of the pair of support arms and a proximal portion of a first one of the support arms and having a locking connection structure that is designed to attach to a proximal portion of a second one of the support arms; anda pair of vertical braces each pivotally attached to a respective one of the pair of support arms and having a detachable connection structure that is designed to attach to a second one of the vertically stacked levels. 2. The system of claim 1, wherein the cross brace structure includes a first cross bar pivotally attached to the distal portion of the first one of the support arms, the first cross bar further designed to attach, via the locking connection structure, to the proximal portion of the second one of the support arms, wherein the cross brace structure further includes a second cross bar pivotally attached to the distal portion of the second one of the support arms and the proximal portion of the first one of the support arms, wherein the shelf device is designed to collapse the cross brace structure to bring the pair of support arms together, and wherein the collapsing is accomplished by detaching the locking connection structure from the proximal portion of the second one of the support arms and pivoting the second cross bar relative to the distal portion of the second one of the support arms and relative to the proximal portion of the first one of the support arms. 3. The system of claim 2, wherein the detachable connection structure is further designed to prevent the collapse of the cross brace structure while attached to the proximal portion of the second one of the support arms. 4. The system of claim 1, wherein the attachment structure includes one or more protrusions designed to be inserted into receptacles for each of the vertically stacked levels of the enclosure. 5. The system of claim 1, wherein the attachment structure includes a flange that is configured to attach to each of the vertically stacked levels of the enclosure using at least one module selected from the group consisting of screws, bolts and pins. 6. The system of claim 1, wherein the locking connection structure includes a pin that is configured to inhibit rotation of the cross brace structure relative to the pair of support arms. 7. The system of claim 1, wherein the cross brace structure further includes: a first cross bar that is pivotally attached to the distal portion of the second one of the support arms and to the proximal portion of the first one of the support arms; anda second cross bar that is pivotally attached to the distal portion of the first one of the support arms and that includes a locking pin that is designed to inhibit pivoting of the cross brace when engaged with the first one of the support arms. 8. The system of claim 1, wherein the pair of support arms each include at least one emboss that is designed to contact that electronic module while moving toward the proximal portion of the support arm and to provide structural support. 9. The system of claim 1, wherein the shelf device that, when attached to the enclosure, form a recess that allows the electronic module to slide partially out of the enclosure before being supported by the pair of support arms. 10. The system of claim 9, wherein the pair of support arms each further include a bevel that is designed to facilitate transitioning placement of the electronic module onto the pair of support arms. 11. A shelf device for facilitating access to electronic modules within an enclosure having multiple vertically stacked levels of module storage locations that includes: a pair of support arms each having an attachment structure on a distal portion of the support arm that is designed to attach to a first one of the vertically stacked levels;a horizontal support platform extending from the distal portion of the support arm toward a proximal portion of the support arm and that, while the support arms are attached to one of the vertically stacked levels, is designed to support weight of an electronic module by providing a horizontal surface upon which a bottom of the electronic module can rest as the electronic module is moved from the distal portion of the support arm and toward the proximal portion of the support arm;a vertical guide rail extending perpendicular to the support platform from the distal portion of the support arm toward the proximal portion of the support arm and that, while the support arms are attached to one of the vertically stacked levels, is designed to guide movement of the electronic module toward the proximal portion of the support arm by inhibiting lateral movement a of side of the electronic module as the electronic module is moved from the distal portion of the support arm and toward the proximal portion of the support arm along the support platform;a cross brace structure configured to pivotally attach to distal portions of the pair of support arms and a proximal portion of a first one of the support arms and having a locking connection structure that is designed to attach to a proximal portion of a second one of the support arms; anda pair of vertical braces each configured to pivotally attach to a respective one of the pair of support arms and having a detachable connection structure that is designed to attach to a second one of the vertically stacked levels. 12.
