Abstract
A computer enclosure (2) includes a cage (10) and a drive bracket (50). The cage includes a first panel (14) and a second panel (16). Each panel defines an opening (20, 30). A pair of clasps (22, 32) and a dome (24, 34) is formed on each side of each opening. A recess (26, 36) and a bore (28, 38) is formed in each panel. The drive bracket has a base (52) and opposite side walls (54). Both ends of each side wall extend outwardly to form bent plates (56, 76). Each bent plate defines a pair of apertures (58, 78) and a hole (62, 82) for respectively engaging with the clasps and the dome. A pair of fixing tabs (66, 86) each with a dimple (68, 88) depends from respective opposite ends of the base. The fixing tabs and the dimples engage with the recesses and bores respectively.
