Abstract

A housing of a data processing system with a mechanism for easy removal and insertion of a disk drive, comprises a shell, two opposite guiding plates, a rear plate, and a front plate. A front section of each guiding plate has at least a step-shaped guiding groove. Two opposite side plates of the front plate can slide in the guiding grooves between a first level and a second level. The rear plate and the front plate carries a plurality of front disk drives and rear disk drives. When the front plate slides to the first level of the guiding groove, the front plate is jointed with the rear plate. When the front plate slides to the second level of the guiding groove, the front plate is stepped away from the rear plate so that the front and rear disk drives are both exposed.
