Mounting apparatus for hard disk drive

Abstract

A mounting apparatus for a hard disk drive includes a chassis, a supporting bracket, a latching member slidably installed to the supporting bracket, and an elastic member sandwiched between the supporting bracket and the latching member. The chassis includes a bottom wall. A protrusion protrudes up from the bottom wall. The supporting bracket includes an installation plate, two side plates extending down from two opposite sides of the installation plate, and two supporting plates extending from bottom sides of the corresponding side plates. The supporting plates are mounted on the bottom wall. The elastic member abuts against the latching member to engage with the protrusion. A number of first tabs extend from each side plate toward the other side plate, for supporting the hard disk drive. A first space is defined between the first tabs and the supporting plates.
