1. A carrier comprising:
a first side rail and a second side rail spaced apart from the first side rail to receive a device therebetween, the first and second side rails extending from a forward end region to an interface end region; and
a first movable portion movably coupled to the first side rail and a second movable portion movably coupled to the second side rail, the first and second movable portions couplable to the device to allow the device to slide relative to the first and second side rails and towards or away from the interface end region,
wherein the first and second movable portions are movably coupled to the first and second side rails to allow the device to move between at least a device interface position and an adapter interface position, wherein, when in the device interface position, a device interface of the device is positioned proximate the interface end region to allow operable coupling of the device interface to a corresponding interface of an enclosure that receives the carrier, wherein, when in the adapter interface position, the device interface is positioned apart from the interface end region to allow an interface adapter be positioned between the device and the interface end region.
