ABSTRACT:
An apparatus and method for mounting a peripheral device within a computer system, wherein the apparatus includes one or more carrier units which may be selectively inserted between mounting rails within a peripheral unit storage device or rack designed to house, store and electrically connect peripheral electronic units within a larger electrical system. The carrier units include an electrical connector which is seated when the carrier is fully inserted into its stored position within the storage rack. The carrier includes a rotational door section which in turn engages a gearing arrangement on corresponding mounting rails to provide leverage to aid in the insertion of the electrical connector as the carrier door is rotated into a closed position. A guidance device on the door assures a proper alignment of the carrier before carrier insertion, and therefore proper engagement of the gearing arrangement. A latching device and alignment back stop tab provide additional positional and spatial alignment and stability for the carrier units.
