ABSTRACT:
Method and apparatus for quickly and easily securing a computer device, such as a floppy disk drive, to a device carrier. In a preferred embodiment, the carrier contains a plurality of dowels that align with pre-existing screw holes on the device. When the device is placed into the carrier, a first dowel attached to a bottom panel of the carrier is inserted into a first screw hole of the device. The device is thereby partially secured to the carrier. The device is further secured to the carrier when both the device and the carrier together are inserted into a computer bay. As the carrier enters the computer bay, a second dowel flexibly attached to a side panel of the carrier is inserted into a second screw hole of the device. Therefore, whenever the device and carrier are in the computer bay, the device is completely secured to the carrier.
