Abstract
A computer system including a chassis having a wall with a raised mounting portion protruding therefrom and a mounting flange attached adjacent to the wall. A peripheral device is pivotally mounted on the mounting flange. A resilient damping member is positioned adjacent the wall for being engaged by the peripheral device. The resilient damping member is compressed from a first height to a second height in response to the peripheral device being pivoted from a first position to a second position for reducing impact loadings associated with installing the peripheral device in the computer system. The resilient damping member controls the impact imposed on the peripheral device.
