Abstract
Disclosed is a data processing system architecture, as may be employed in a digital video security system, that provides easy identification of system components such as system and video data hard drives through physical position and orientation, through color and identifying markings, and through keyed locking mechanisms. A component-mounting fixture disposed in a cabinet provides bays for removable accommodation of component trays containing hard drives or other system components. Component trays may be hot pluggable. The cabinet may be rack mounted or free standing. Component trays provide sufficient room that a circuit card and/or connector(s) may be affixed thereto and provide connection, signal conditioning, and format translation of component signals. A lock knob on the component tray secures the component tray in a bay and a lock knob stay may be employed to restrict lock knob movement and may also serve as a handle for component tray removal.
