Information Handling Systems (IHSs), such as rack-mounted servers, may support various types of replaceable components that are installed in bays, such as storage drives and computing nodes. Some servers are constructed using a chassis that includes a front row of bays and an inner row of bays. In embodiments, in a closed position, the front row of bays conceals the inner row of bays until the front row of bays is rotated horizontally to an open position that provides access to the inner row of bays. The front row of bays may be divided into two banks of drive bays. The left and right banks of bays may be opened separately by rotating them horizontally about hinges connecting each bank to the chassis. By opening in this manner, the inner bays can be administered safely and limiting the forces placed on the chassis and the rack.
