The set 34 is flipped over the base 36. The keyboard module 37 is also moved from the inner side of the frame 30/receiving chamber 301 to the outer pull-out position by the second extending mechanism 32 for the user to operate. It can be seen from the above embodiments that even if a human interface interface device or a display module has a width wider than a rack, a housing chamber or an extension mechanism in the rack, the width of the space is wide. The support mechanism or the multi-computer management device composed of the support mechanism can easily move, store or flip the human-machine interface operation device or the display module back and forth inside and outside the rack/multi-computer management device to The use of the internal space of the rack/multicomputer management device is properly utilized, and an operation interface that is more convenient and has a larger field of view is provided for the user.
