Raspberry Pi [4] mounting in 3U component carrier

This is a mechanical design to mount a Raspberry Pi in a 3U component carrier.

Why would one want to do that? There may be other equipment in the component carrier that should be controlled by the Raspberry Pi.

If you just want to mount multiple RPI in a 19" rack, there are many other options available, mass produced at lower cost and achieving higher densities.
