Zusammenfassung:A typical computerized system (e.g., a general purpose computer system, a data storage system, etc.) includes a console that enables a user (e.g., a system administrator, a technician, etc.) to communicate with the computerized system. The console typically includes an input device (e.g., a keyboard, a mouse, etc.) that receives user commands, and an output device (e.g., a monitor) that displays information back to the user. Accordingly, the console provides the user with the capability to (i) enter commands (e.g., to configure the computerized system) as well as (ii) to confirm that the computerized system is operating properly. A computerized system includes a chassis, computerized circuitry and an interface apparatus. The chassis has a circuit mounting portion and an interface mounting portion coupled together. The interface mounting portion includes a hinged platform. The computerized circuitry fastens to the circuit mounting portion of the chassis. The computerized circuitry has a computerized circuitry communications port. The interface apparatus has a frame that is configured to fasten to and detach from the hinged platform of the interface mounting portion of the chassis, and a console that attaches to the frame. The console includes an input device, an output device and a console communications port. The interface apparatus further includes a cable assembly having a first end that electrically connects with the console communications port and a second end that is configured to electrically connect with the computerized circuitry communications port.
