ABSTRACT:
First and second pairs of pins and cooperative first and second pairs of pin receiving apertures are provided at the confronting connector faces of each of one or more data storage device carrier subassemblies and an interconnection board of a storage system card cage subassembly into which each data storage device carrier subassembly is slidably mounted. The first pin/aperture pair engage and cooperate first to prealign, mechanically support and vibrationally damp each data storage device carrier subassembly. The second/pin aperture pair engage and cooperate to secondly finely align a connector on each data storage device carrier subassembly with a mating connector on the storage system card cage subassembly, enabling hot-pluggable insertion and removal of each data storage device carrier subassembly into and out of the storage system card cage subassembly without physically damaging the confronting connectors of each data storage device carrier subassembly and storage system card cage subassembly interconnection board or causing electrical shorts in the connectors.
