1. A bracket module for a computing device, the bracket module comprising:
a housing structure including a plurality of slots and a pair of flanges, each slot being configured to accept a device inserted therein, the housing structure being configured for attachment in a chassis of the computing device;
a tray structure including a fixed end connected to the housing structure and a free end opposite from the fixed end, the tray structure being configured to rotate relative to the housing structure about the fixed end, the housing structure and the tray structure forming a joint at the fixed end;
at least one fastener configured to engage the tray structure with the housing structure in an open position;
a rod that extends through the joint and the fixed end to form a hinge, the pair of flanges extending from the housing structure on opposite sides of the rod; and
a pair of retainers on opposite sides of the rod and coupled to the pair of flangers, the pair of retainers retaining the rod within the hinge, the pair of retainer being elastomeric elements.

7. A computing device comprising:
a chassis having a base panel and two opposing side panels, the chassis including a plurality of chassis apertures; and
a bracket module coupled to the two opposing side panels above the base panel such that a working space is defined between the bracket module and the base panel, the bracket module including:
a housing structure including a plurality of slots, each slot being configured to accept a device inserted therein;
a tray structure rotatably coupled to the housing structure, the tray structure being rotatable relative to the housing structure between an open position and a closed position, the working space being accessible when the tray structure is in the open position, the working space being inaccessible when the tray structure is in the closed position; and
a plurality of tray apertures through the tray structure, each tray aperture of the plurality of tray apertures aligning with a chassis aperture of the plurality of chassis apertures.

16. A computing device comprising:
a chassis having a base panel and two opposing side panels, the chassis including a plurality of chassis apertures; and
a bracket module coupled to the two opposing side panels above the base panel, the bracket module including:
a housing structure including a plurality of slots and a pair of flanges, each slot being configured to accept a device inserted therein;
a tray structure rotatably coupled to the housing structure to form a joint, the tray structure being rotatable relative to the housing structure between an open position and a closed position;
a plurality of tray apertures through the tray structure, each tray aperture of the plurality of tray apertures aligning with a chassis aperture of the plurality of chassis apertures; and
a rod that extends through the joint and the fixed end to form a hinge, the pair of flanges extending from the housing structure on opposite sides of the rod.
