1. A mounting system for supporting electronic equipment such as in a data center, comprising:
a support structure dimensioned for supporting multiple pieces of electronic equipment in a vertically stacked configuration, said support structure having a front end defining one or more openings where front surfaces of said electronic equipment are disposed adjacent said one or more openings; and
first structure for securing a first piece of equipment in a first fixed position in relation to said support structure so that a first front surface of said first piece of equipment has a first horizontal offset in relation to said front end of said support structure, said first structure comprising a mounting structure for attachment to said first piece of equipment and a rail assembly, connected to said support structure, for slidably engaging said mounting structure, wherein said first structure allows for fixing said first piece of equipment at any of multiple offset positions in relation to said front end of said support structure and said first structure further includes a latch for latching said mounting structure in relation to said support structure so as to secure the equipment at said first fixed position.
