1. A device tray comprising:
an inner tray having a first base and a plurality of walls rising from the first base defining a first receptacle adapted for receiving an electronic device;
an enclosure having a second base and a plurality of walls rising from the second base defining a second receptacle adapted for slidably retaining the inner tray, the enclosure being rotatably movable between an open position and a closed position, the enclosure being positioned within a chassis of a computing device in the closed position, the enclosure being positioned outside the chassis in the open position;
a linkage assembly including
a first linking member hingeably coupled to the second base, a second linking member coupled with the first linking member at a hinged joint; and
a slider movably coupled with the second base along a linear path, the slider being hingeably coupled to the second linking member; and
a handle assembly coupled to the slider, the handle assembly causing, in response to a manual force, the slider to move along the linear path and rotate the enclosure between the closed position and the open position.

11. A system chassis comprising:
a first chassis housing having a plurality of walls defining a first compartment;
a first circuit board forming a front wall of the plurality of walls of the first chassis housing, the first circuit board having a connector extending into the first compartment, the connector adapted for connecting to a corresponding connector of a first electronic device;
a first tray module including:
an inner tray having a first base and a plurality of walls rising from the first base defining a first receptacle adapted for receiving the first electronic device, the first base having thereon a first slot;
an enclosure having a second base and a plurality of walls rising from the second base defining a second receptacle adapted for slidably retaining the inner tray, the second base having thereon a second slot aligned with the first slot;
a linkage assembly including
a first linking member hingeably coupled to the second base;
a second linking member coupled with the first linking member at a hinged joint; and
a slider movably coupled with the second base along a linear path, the slider being hingeably coupled to the second linking member;
a pin coupled to the hinged joint, the pin being movably captured in the first slot and the second slot;
a handle assembly coupled to the slider, the handle assembly causing, in response to a manual force, the linkage assembly to press the pin against an edge of the first slot to move the inner tray along a longitudinal axis; and
a first hinge pivotably coupling the first tray module to the system chassis, the first tray module pivotable between a first open position and a first closed position, the first tray module being positioned outside the chassis in the first open position, the first tray module being positioned within the first compartment in the first closed position with the corresponding connector of the first electronic device aligned with the connector of the circuit board.

20. An electronic system comprising:
a system chassis including:
a chassis housing having a plurality of walls defining a compartment;
a circuit board forming a front wall of the chassis housing, the circuit board having a connector extending into the compartment, the connector adapted for connecting to a corresponding connector of an electronic device;
a tray module including:
an inner tray having a first base and a plurality of walls rising from the first base defining a first receptacle adapted for receiving the electronic device, the first base having thereon a first slot having a first length along a longitudinal axis;
an enclosure having a second base and a plurality of walls rising from the second base defining a second receptacle adapted for slidably retaining the inner tray, the second base having thereon a second slot aligned with the first slot, the second slot having a second length along the longitudinal axis;
a linkage assembly including:
a first linking member having a first end and a second end, the first end of the first linking member hingeably coupled to the second base;
a second linking member having a first end and a second end, the first end of the second linking member joining the second end of the first linking member at a hinged joint; and
a slider movably coupled with the second base along a linear path, the slider having a first end hingeably coupled to a second end of the second linking member;
a pin movably captured in the first slot and the second slot, the pin coupled to the hinged joint;
a handle assembly coupled to a second end of the slider, the handle assembly causing, in response to a manual force, the linkage assembly to press the pin against an edge of the first slot to move the inner tray along a longitudinal axis; and
a hinge pivotably coupling the tray module to the system chassis, the tray module pivotable between an open position and a closed position, the tray module being positioned outside the chassis in the open position, the tray module being positioned within the compartment in the closed position with the corresponding connector of the electronic device aligned with the connector of the circuit board; and
an electronic component electrically connected to the electronic device via the circuit board of the system chassis.
