An Information Handling System (IHS) includes a chassis having a base panel, a selected modular cover, and a latching structure. The base panel has an upper chassis surface to receive selected compute components and infrastructure components that vary in height desired for the fully assembled IHS or rack in which the IHS will be inserted. The selected modular cover can have peripheral sides of a vertical height to complement a vertical height of the lateral guides of the base panel to create either a first height enclosure of a first height to house compute components of less than the first height or a second height enclosure of a second height to house compute components of less than the second height but greater than the first height. The latching structure is formed between the peripheral sides of the selected one of the first and second modular cover and the lateral guides of the base panel.

대표청구항 ▼

1. A chassis of an Information Handling System (IHS), the chassis comprising: a base panel having an upper chassis surface to receive selected compute components and infrastructure components that can vary in form factor or final vertical height desired for the fully assembled IHS or rack in which the IHS will be inserted, the final vertical height being selectable from among a first height and a second height greater than the first height; lateral guides to enable insertion into rack glides of a receiving bay of an N×U rack, where N is a number greater than one; a modular cover having peripheral sides of a vertical height to create a server enclosure of the second height, the server enclosure housing compute components of less than the second height but greater than the first height, wherein the modular cover comprises a notched top side surface at a height corresponding to a next upper rack glide to enable the chassis, configured at the second height, to extend above, but not contact the next upper rack glide when the chassis is slid into the rack using a lower rack glide; and a latching structure on the base panel and a complementary latching structure on the modular cover. 2. The chassis of claim 1, wherein the modular cover is a second modular cover, and the chassis base panel is configured to support use of a first modular cover having peripheral sides of a first vertical height to create a first server enclosure of a first height that houses compute components having a highest height component of less than the first height, wherein the first modular cover and the base panel form a first server enclosure of 1U height and wherein the second modular cover and the base panel form a second server enclosure of 2U height. 3. The chassis of claim 2, wherein the lateral guides enable insertion of the chassis into a 1U slot or a 2U slot of an IHS rack. 4. The chassis of claim 2, wherein the first and second modular covers each comprise a flexible molded cover. 5. The chassis of claim 4, wherein the first and second modular covers comprise biodegradable material. 6. The chassis of claim 2, wherein the latching structure comprises a snap-fit engaging surface on one of the peripheral sides of the selected one of the first and second modular cover and the lateral guide of the base panel. 7. An information handling system (IHS) comprising: selected compute components and infrastructure components that can vary in form factor or final vertical height desired for the fully assembled IHS or rack in which the IHS will be inserted, the final vertical height being selectable from among a first height and a second height greater than the first height; and a chassis comprising: a base panel having an upper chassis surface to receive the selected compute components and infrastructure components; lateral guides to enable insertion into rack glides of a receiving bay of an N×U rack, where N is a number greater than one; a modular cover having peripheral sides of a vertical height to create a server enclosure of the second height, the server enclosure housing compute components of less than the second height but greater than the first height, wherein the modular cover comprises a notched top side surface at a height corresponding to a next upper rack glide to enable the chassis, configured at the second height, to extend above, but not contact the next upper rack glide when the chassis is slid into the rack using a lower rack glide; and a latching structure on the base panel and a complementary latching structure on the modular cover. 8. The IHS of claim 7, wherein the modular cover is a second modular cover, and the chassis base panel is configured to support use of a first modular cover having peripheral sides of a first vertical height to create a first server enclosure of a first height that houses compute components having a highest height component of less than the first height, wherein the first modular cover and the base panel form the first server enclosure of 1U height, and wherein the second modular cover and the base panel form the second server enclosure of 2U height. 9. The IHS of claim 7, further comprising an IHS rack configured with at least one of a 1U slot and a 2U slot, wherein the lateral guides enable insertion into the 1U slot or the 2U slot of the IHS rack. 10. The IHS of claim 8, wherein the first and second modular covers each comprise a flexible molded cover. 11. The IHS of claim 8, wherein the latching structure comprises a notched top side surface of the second modular cover at a height corresponding to a next upper rack glide to enable the chassis configured at the second height to bypass and not contact the next upper rack glides when the chassis is slid into the rack.
