Does anyone know of a source that makes enclosures for N+1 hot-swap
power supplies? The enclosure would become part of a 4U 19" wide rack
mountable equipment. It would be great if it can fit four power supply
modules (but three would do as well.) It can't be an off the shelf
supply since the input/output voltage, power requirements, and controls
are somewhat unique. What I am looking for is an enclosure assembly with
insertable module cages complete with latching hardware and possibly
connectors in which I can fit my own custom power supply design.=20

Kinda like the power supplies on the Compaq Proliant 6400R. Here's a
couple of pictures:

and http://h18004.www1.hp.com/products/servers/images/6400r.gif. The two
modules seen on the front are the power supplies. They have a small
sliding lever underneath the handle that you pull up to take out the
power supply.

If I can find a ready made enclosure, it'll save me the time to chalk up
the mechanical design and have it made.

Thanks,

Shahid
