ABSTRACT:
A computer system providing for quick and simple installation of a removable module, the module having a disk drive unit, a carrier and a connector, into a base unit. The module achieves automatic connection with the base unit in response to a loading force for moving the module into a final assembled position in the base unit wherein the connector of the module engages a connector in the base unit. All required electrical transmission paths between the disk drive unit of the module and the base unit are completed upon insertion of the module into its final assembled position in the base unit.
