1. A rack ear for mounting equipment in an equipment rack, the rack ear comprising:
a first planar member comprising a plurality of apertures through which the first planar member is coupled to the equipment;
a second planar member coupled to and extending substantially perpendicular from the first planar member at a mounting end of the second planar member, the second planar member further defining an end edge opposite the mounting end; and
an elongate opening extending through the second planar member through the end edge of the second planar member and defining an upper lobe with an upper curvate surface and a lower lobe with a lower curvate surface to define a slot opening into the elongate opening between the upper lobe and the lower lobe, the slot receiving at least a portion of a shaft of a first support member comprising the shaft and a head and coupled to the equipment rack, wherein a width of the elongate opening is larger than a first radius of the upper curvate surface and a second radius of the lower curvate surface, the width of the elongate opening larger than a diameter of the head of the first support member,
an upper slot defining a first hole through the second planar member above the elongate opening and a lower slot defining a second hole through the second planar member below the elongate opening, wherein the upper slot and the lower slot are spaced according to an aperture spacing on a corresponding rail of the equipment rack;
wherein the elongate opening is symmetrical about a line defined by the slot opening into the elongate opening,
wherein the second planar member defines a height of a 1U, 2U, 3U, or 4U dimension of a computing device.
