Abstract:
A power supply system includes a chassis defining a bay. Power supply form factor element(s) are located on the chassis adjacent the bay. The power supply form factor element(s) may be used to guide a first form factor power supply through the bay and into engagement with a connector when the first form factor power supply is moved through a bay entrance, or guide a second form factor power supply through the bay and into engagement with a portion of the connector when the second form factor power supply is moved through a first section of the bay entrance. Furthermore, the power supply form factor element(s) prevent movement of the second form factor power supply through the bay and into engagement with the connector when the second form factor power supply attempts to move through a second section of the bay entrance that is different than the first section.
