A computing device is provided with a drive slot with a connector for engaging a corresponding connector of a HDD, and a first locking element. The computing device includes a removable a HDD carrier for insertion into the drive slot having a bracket, a handle and an enclosure slidably attached to the bracket for securing the HDD. The handle includes a second locking element extending therefrom and configured to receive the first locking element to restrict the removable HDD carrier to vertical motion. The first locking element engages with the second locking element when the handle is in the loading position and the bracket moves relative to the enclosure to secure the hard disk drive in the bracket and connect the connector of a hard disk drive to the connector located at the drive slot when the handle transitions from the loading position to the locked position.

A computing device with a drive slot having an ear with a vertical receiving groove, a connector for engaging a corresponding connector of a hard disk drive (HDD), and a horizontal track with a pin insertion portion and a pin retaining portion. The computing device also includes a removable a HDD carrier for insertion into the drive slot having a bracket for securing the HDD and a track pin extending therefrom and configured to be inserted into the horizontal track via the pin insertion portion and configured to restrict the removable HDD carrier to horizontal motion when the track pin engages with the pin retaining portion. The HDD carrier includes a handle pivotably attached to the bracket with a guide pin for inserting into the vertical receiving groove and configured to alternate between a loading position and a locked position.

A method for adding an electronic component to, removing an electronic component from, or exchanging an electronic component of a rack module mounted in a rack. The rack module includes a frame. The method includes the following: moving a tray connected to the frame from a first position to a second position, in the first position the tray is received within the frame such that an open face of the tray is inaccessible, and in the second position the tray lies outside the frame at an angle to the frame such that the open face is accessible; adding, removing, or exchanging the electronic component through the open face; and moving the tray from the second position to the first position after the electronic component has been added, removed, or exchanged.

A data storage device securing mechanism for convenient assembly and disassembly of a data storage device includes a bracket and two latch members. The bracket includes a bottom plate and a first side plate connected with one side of the bottom plate. The first side plate includes a limiting plate and a latch member is secured on the first side plate. One end of each latch member is hooked, and the limiting plate is configured to be elastically deformed to slide the latch member relative to the bracket. The hook is abutted the limiting plate to prevent the limiting plate from rebounding.

An example mounting assembly is provided herein. The mounting assembly includes a first cage, a second cage, a rail member, a rigid cable member, a latch member, and a lock mechanism. The rail member to move the first cage and the second cage between an installed position, an access position, and a transitional position. The rigid cable member to move with the first cage and the second cage along the rail member. The latch member to retain the first cage and the second cage in the installed position. The lock mechanism to hold the second cage in the access position.

A storage medium accommodating apparatus for accommodating at least one storage medium of an industrial computer is provided. The accommodating unit includes at least one side wall including at least one guide groove, where the at least one guide groove includes an engagement section; and at least one support unit, where the at least one storage medium may be accommodated inside the at least one support unit, the at least one support unit includes a guide rail that is supported in a manner of being movable on the at least one guide groove, the at least one support unit includes an elastically deformable counter-engagement section, and the counter-engagement section is automatically engaged into the engagement section in a shape-fitting manner in a state that the at least one support unit is pushed into the accommodating unit.

A method for adding an electronic component to, removing an electronic component from, or exchanging an electronic component of a rack module mounted in a rack. The rack module includes a frame. The method includes the following: moving a tray connected to the frame from a first position to a second position, in the first position the tray is received within the frame such that an open face of the tray is inaccessible, and in the second position the tray lies outside the frame at an angle to the frame such that the open face is accessible; adding, removing, or exchanging the electronic component through the open face; and moving the tray from the second position to the first position after the electronic component has been added, removed, or exchanged.
