Data storage mounting assembly

摘要: An external disk drive assembly includes a molded plastic base; sheet metal frame latched to the power supply housing, and controller card affixed frame; forced air cooling fan mounted in receptacle on cover removably secured thin plates inside base provide electrical grounding EMI RFI shielding. The has oppositely-facing U-shaped walls matching outer configuration of housing. retaining flange for extending over During assembly, housing is simply dropped into so locate relative frame. then which locates top can carry resiliently compressible shock vibration isolator contacting keep place prevent vibrations from being induced rotating blades assembled its operative vibration-isolating position without tools or fasteners. invention provides advantages reducing time labor costs improving reliability.
