An electronic apparatus has a housing with a peripheral wall. The peripheral wall has a lock hole in which a lock device is detachably engaged. A receptacle is formed in the housing. The receptacle has an insertion hole formed in the peripheral wall of the housing. The receptacle removably receives a functional component through the insertion hole. A lock member is disposed within the housing. The lock member is movable between a locked position where the lock member is advanced to the receptacle and irremovably locks the functional component in the receptacle and a lock release position where the lock member retreats from the receptacle and unlocks the functional component. The lock member has a first engaging hole which is continuous with the lock hole when the lock member is moved to the locked position and a second engaging hole which is continuous with the lock hole when the lock member is moved to the lock release position. The lock device is detachably engaged in one of the first and second engaging holes through the lock hole.
