Each of the plurality of trays includes a first sidewall and a second sidewall opposite to the first sidewall. A plurality of engaging posts are located on the first sidewall, and a plurality of engaging holes is defined in the second sidewall. Each of the four engaging posts in one of the trays is engaged in each of the plurality of engaging holes in another one of the trays, so that two adjacent trays can be engaged to each other without screws or bolts, and it is very convenient for an end user to expand the capacity of the enclosure assembly. ## Claims ### Claim 1 An enclosure assembly comprising: a plurality of trays, each of the plurality of trays comprising a first sidewall and a second sidewall opposite to the first sidewall, a plurality of engaging posts are located on the first sidewall, and a plurality of engaging holes are defined in the second sidewall; and each of the four engaging posts in one of the plurality of trays is engaged in each of the plurality of engaging holes in another one of the plurality of trays, to secure two adjacent of the plurality of trays in a horizontal direction. ### Claim 2 (depends on 1) The enclosure assembly of claim 1, wherein each of the plurality of trays comprises a top wall and a bottom wall, opposite to the top wall; the top wall defines a plurality of securing holes; and a plurality of positioning posts is located on the bottom wall, and each of the plurality of positioning posts in the one of the plurality of trays is engaged in each of plurality of securing holes in another one of the plurality of trays, to secure the two adjacent of the plurality of trays in a longitudinal direction. ### Claim 3 (depends on 2) The enclosure assembly of claim 2, wherein a plurality of washers is located on the bottom wall, each of the washers surrounds each of the plurality of positioning posts in the one of the plurality of trays and abuts the top wall of the another one of plurality of trays. ### Claim 4 (depends on 3) The enclosure assembly of claim 3, wherein each of the plurality of washers is made of plastic. ### Claim 5 (depends on 1) The enclosure assembly of claim 1, wherein each of the plurality of trays comprises a top wall and a bottom wall opposite to the top wall; a plurality of first absorbing blocks is located on the top wall; a plurality of second absorbing blocks is located on the bottom wall; and each of the plurality of second absorbing blocks in the one of the plurality of trays is drawn to each of the plurality of first absorbing blocks in another one of the plurality of trays, to prevent the two adjacent of the plurality of trays from moving along a first direction that perpendicular to the top wall. ### Claim 6 (depends on 5) The enclosure assembly of claim 5, wherein a plurality of blocking structures are located on the bottom wall; and each of the plurality of blocking structures surrounds each of the plurality of the second absorbing blocks in the one of the plurality of trays and is engaged with each of the plurality of first absorbing blocks in another one of the plurality of trays, to prevent the two adjacent of the plurality of trays from moving in a plane that parallel to the top wall. ### Claim 7 (depends on 6) The enclosure assembly of claim 6, wherein the height of each of the plurality of blocking structures is equal to a thickness of each of first absorbing blocks plus a thickness of each of the second absorbing blocks. ### Claim 8 (depends on 6) The enclosure assembly of claim 6, wherein each of plurality of blocking structures is substantially L-shaped. ### Claim 9 (depends on 5) The enclosure assembly of claim 5, wherein each of the second absorbing blocks, in the one of the plurality of trays, is in a line with each of the first absorbing blocks of the another one of the plurality of trays, and the line is substantially perpendicular to the top wall. ### Claim 10 (depends on 5) The enclosure assembly of claim 5, wherein the plurality of first absorbing blocks and the plurality of second absorbing blocks are magnets. ### Claim 11 An enclosure assembly comprising: a plurality of trays, each of the plurality of trays comprising a first sidewall and a second sidewall opposite to the first sidewall, four pairs of two engaging posts are located on the first sidewall, and four pairs of two engaging holes are defined in the second sidewall; and each of the four pairs of two engaging post is engaged in each of the four pairs of two engaging holes, to prevent two adjacent of the plurality of trays from moving relative to each other. ### Claim 12 (depends on 11) The enclosure assembly of claim 11, wherein each of the plurality of trays comprises a top wall and a bottom wall opposite to the top wall, the top wall defines four pairs of two securing holes, four pairs of two positioning posts are located on the bottom wall, and each of the four pairs of two positioning post in the one of the plurality of trays is engaged in each of the four pairs of two securing holes in another one of the plurality of trays, to prevent the two adjacent of the plurality of trays from moving relative to each other. ### Claim 13 (depends on 12) The enclosure assembly of claim 12, wherein four washers is located on the bottom wall, each of the four washer surrounds each the four pairs of two positioning posts in the one of the plurality of trays and abuts the top wall of the another one of plurality of trays. ### Claim 14 (depends on 13) The enclosure assembly of claim 13, wherein each of the four washers is made of plastic. ### Claim 15 (depends on 11) The enclosure assembly of claim 11, wherein each of the plurality of trays comprises a top wall and a bottom wall opposite to the top wall, a plurality of first absorbing blocks is located on the top wall, a plurality of second absorbing blocks is located on the bottom wall, and each of the plurality of second absorbing blocks in the one of the plurality of trays is drawn to each of the plurality of first absorbing blocks in another one of the plurality of trays, to prevent the two adjacent of the plurality of trays from moving along a first direction that perpendicular to the top wall. ### Claim 16 (depends on 15) The enclosure assembly of claim 15, wherein a plurality of blocking structures are located on the bottom wall, each of the plurality of blocking structures surrounds each of the plurality of the second absorbing blocks in the one of the plurality of trays and is engaged with each of the plurality of first absorbing blocks in another one of the plurality of trays, to prevent the two adjacent of the plurality of trays from moving in a plane that parallel to the top wall. ### Claim 17 (depends on 16) The enclosure assembly of claim 16, wherein the height of each of the plurality of blocking structures is equal to a thickness of each of first absorbing blocks plus a thickness of each of the second absorbing blocks. ### Claim 18 (depends on 16) The enclosure assembly of claim 16, wherein each of plurality of blocking structures is substantially L-shaped. ### Claim 19 (depends on 15) The enclosure assembly of claim 15, wherein each of the second absorbing blocks in the one of the plurality of trays is in a line with each of the first absorbing blocks of the another one of the plurality of trays, and the line is substantially perpendicular to the top wall. ### Claim 20 (depends on 15) The enclosure assembly of claim 15, wherein the plurality of first absorbing blocks and the plurality of second absorbing blocks are magnets.
