ABSTRACT:
In general the invention features a disk drive carrier and a method for inserting a disk drive into a peripheral bay chassis. The disk drive carrier includes a base for receiving a disk drive into and a latching mechanism that is rotatably attached to the base. The rotatably mount permits a lever to rotate between an open position and a closed position. The lever includes a lower engagement point and an upper engagement point. The disk drive carrier can additionally include a downwardly movable release tab attached to the upper engagement point facilitating release of the engagement point from a P-Bay chassis. The disk drive carrier can also include an electromagnetic interference (EMI) shield to create a tight EMI seal in the front of a P-Bay chassis slot.
