Abstract

A mounting apparatus includes a chassis and a disk drive holder mounted in the chassis. The chassis include a base panel; a side panel, extending substantially perpendicularly from the base panel; and a mounting piece, extending substantially perpendicularly from the side panel. A pair of engaging tabs extends from the base panel and the mounting piece oppositely. The disk drive holder includes a pair of side plates. A pair of engaging slots is defined in the pair of side plates corresponding to the pair of engaging tabs. Each of the pair of engaging slots includes an entrance portion and an engaging portion connected with the entrance portion. The disk drive holder is movable between an unlocked position, where each of the pair of engaging tabs is engaged with the entrance portion, and a locked position, where each of the pair of engaging tabs is engaging with the engaging portion.

Dependent claims

A mounting apparatus comprising:

a chassis comprising a base panel and a side panel, extending substantially perpendicularly from the base panel;
a mounting piece extending substantially perpendicularly from the side panel;
a pair of engaging tabs extending from the base panel and the mounting piece oppositely;
and an opening being defined in the side panel, and a resilient blocking piece extending from an edge of the opening in a tortuous pattern;
and
a disk drive holder, adapted for holding a data storage device, comprising a pair of side plates;
and a pair of first engaging slots being defined in the pair of side plates corresponding to the pair of engaging tabs, each of the pair of first engaging slots comprising a first entrance portion and a first engaging portion connected with the first entrance portion;
wherein the disk drive holder is movable between an unlocked position, where each of the pair of engaging tabs is engaged with the first entrance portion, and the resilient blocking piece is deformed by the disk drive holder, and a locked position, where each of the pair of engaging tabs is engaging with the first engaging portion, and the resilient blocking piece returns to its original state and resists against the disk drive holder, thereby preventing the disk drive holder moving from the locked position to the unlocked position.
