1. A server rack assembly for a datacenter, the assembly comprising:
a server rack defining at least a lower volume and an upper volume positioned adjacent and over the lower volume;
a lower server received in the lower volume; and
an upper server received in the upper volume, the upper server comprising:
a chassis base having a bottom panel through which an opening is defined, the chassis base further defining a rim around the opening;
computing components; and
a tray supporting the computing components so as to be subject to a weight load from the computing components, the tray having a frame section defining a plane and supported by the rim of the chassis base, the tray further having an embossed portion formed integral with the frame section and extending below the plane into the opening of the chassis base and embossed by an amount configured to prevent sagging of the tray into the lower volume under the weight load from the computing components.
 
5. A computing equipment assembly, comprising:
computing components;
a tray supporting the computing components, the tray comprising:
a frame section defining a plane; and
an embossed portion formed integral with the frame section, the embossed portion defining a projection extending below the plane, the embossed portion further defining a depression on a top side of the tray, the frame section extending around at least a portion of the embossed portion; and
a chassis base comprising:
a bottom panel having an opening extending vertically therethrough and in which the embossed portion of the tray is received; and
a rim defined around the opening in the bottom panel and supporting the frame section of the tray.
 
13. A computing equipment box assembly, comprising:
a chassis base comprising:
a bottom panel;
an opening through the bottom panel; and
a rim defined around the opening; and
a tray comprising:
a body configured for supporting computing components;
a frame section of the body sized to be supported atop the rim of the chassis base; and
a downwardly embossed portion of the body, spaced inward from the frame section and extending downwardly from the rim and sized to fit within the opening of the chassis base when the frame section is supported atop the rim of the chassis base, the downwardly embossed portion defining a depression on a top side of the tray.
