Fixing device for data storage apparatus

Abstract

A fixing device (1) for securing a data storage apparatus (50) in a mounting bracket (40) includes a screw (10), a grounding plate (20), and a spring gasket (30). The screw includes a head (12), a connection portion (15), and an engaging portion (16). The spring gasket includes a cap (32) and a body (34). The grounding plate and the spring gasket surround the connection portion. The engaging portion is extended through one through hole (44) of a side panel (42) of the mounting bracket to engage with the data storage apparatus. The cap is sandwiched between the head and the mounting bracket, for absorbing shock. The body is received in the through hole and is compressed between the screw and the mounting bracket, for absorbing shock. Grounding fingers of the grounding plate resiliently abut against the side panel, for forming grounding paths.
