A storage rack mounting device for releasably storing a plurality of tape storage compartments or modules therein. The storage compartments are utilized to hold a plurality of tapes, sch as computer tapes, therein. The rack includes a frame to hold a plurality of tape storage compartments and comprises two opposed sidewalls spaced apart to receive the tape storage compartments therebetween. Upper and lower mounting flanges extend outwardly from the interiors of each of the sidewalls to hold therebetween the tape storage compartment and to permit the tape storage compartment to be introduced and removed from the frame. The storage compartments have two sidewalls, at least one of which has an opening therethrough and a peripheral edge thereabout to releasably engage a locking flange which extends rearwardly and outwardly at an angle from the interior of the sidewall. The storage compartments are slid into place in between the upper and lower mounting flanges until the locking flange engages the peripheral edge of the opening in the sidewall of the compartment. In a preferred embodiment, the frame is free standing and angles outwardly near the base to aid in storing and retrieving tapes.
