a plurality of information handling systems (IHSs);

a utility control component (UCC),

wherein the UCC manages a temperature within an IHS of the plurality of IHSs and is configured to detect and suppress fire within the IHS,

wherein the UCC is integrated within the MITC as a non-standalone component to support the plurality of IHSs;

a modular over-rack component (MORC);

a rack mounting component (RMC); and

a track system,

wherein the RMC affixes the IHS to the MORC,

wherein the MORC is affixed perpendicularly to the track system,
