Abstract
A bracket arrangement which allows a display and a drive to share the same front space of a device is disclosed. Particularly, the bracket mounted with a display is placed in front of the drive and can be pivoted out of the way to give access to the drive. Therefore, the bracket arrangement provides a way to implement a display in devices with a limited front space.
