ABSTRACT:
A device retention mechanism includes a computer chassis (10) having a side panel (12) and a rear panel (14), and a retention member (30) rotatably attached to the side panel. The side and rear panels cooperatively preliminarily attaches a power supply (50) inside the computer chassis. The retention member is rotated about a pivot piece (351) in a direction to urge the power supply toward the rear panel. An engagement point between the power supply and the retention member is below the pivot piece, and the power supply exerts a torque to the retention member in the direction such that the retention member is held in place. The power supply is thus secured inside the computer chassis.
