ABSTRACT:
A mounting apparatus assembly includes a bracket (30) for accommodating a number of data storage devices (10) with studs (50) secured therein, and a handle (70) pivotally attached to each of the data storage devices via a connecting member (60). The bracket includes a pair of side plate (32a, 32b) each having a channel (35) for slidably receiving the studs. A pair of resilient members (36) is formed at opposite ends of each channel. A retaining protrusion (37) protrudes inwardly from an inner side of a front resilient member of an inner side plate. The data storage devices are secured in the bracket with the studs blocked by the retaining protrusions. In disassembly, move the resilient member with the retaining protrusion outwardly to disengage the studs from the retaining protrusion, and then draw the handle to release the data storage device from the bracket.
