Computer enclosure incorporating pivotable drive bracket

Abstract

A computer enclosure includes a chassis (20), a first drive bracket (40), and a second drive bracket (60) secured in the chassis by a fastener (90). A front panel (22) of the chassis defines a first opening (24), a second opening (26), and a pair of slots (34). The first drive bracket is accommodated in the chassis adjacent the first opening. The first drive bracket has a first retaining portion (50) and a retaining breach (48), which respectively engage with a retaining cutout (70) and a second retaining portion (72) of the second drive bracket. Two hooks (80) are formed on the second drive bracket for being received in the slots, allowing the second drive bracket to be rotated from a first position outside the chassis to a second position within the chassis adjacent the second opening. The fastener is pivotally attached to the first drive bracket.
