secondarymounted

Secondarymounted is a term used to describe a configuration in which a component is affixed to a secondary structure or platform in addition to the primary assembly. It denotes a two-tier mounting arrangement intended to add modularity, redundancy, or accessibility to a system.

In mechanical design and robotics, a secondary-mounted element may be attached to a secondary bracket or carriage on a chassis. This arrangement supports rapid swapping, maintenance access, or the distribution of load and vibration across multiple supports.

In computing and data storage, secondary mounting can refer to devices installed in a secondary enclosure or on a secondary mount point that is not part of the main drive bay. Examples include hot-swappable bays, external enclosures connected to a host, or subassemblies mounted to a separate chassis.

Terminology and usage vary by field; secondarymounted is not a widely standardized term. It is sometimes written with a hyphen as secondary-mounted. Related concepts include mounting, bracket, and modular assembly.
