Abstract
A computer enclosure includes a cage (30) and a peripheral device module (40). The cage includes a main body (32), and a bezel (31) mounted at a front portion of the main body. The bezel defines an opening (33). The main body includes a pair of lateral support plates (34). Each support plate defines fastening units therein. The peripheral device module includes a housing (41), and carriers (42) received in the housing. The housing includes protrusions (48) on each of opposite sides thereof, with each protrusion defining a locking hole (481) therein. The protrusions of each side of the housing correspond to through holes (341) and slots (342) of a selected fastening unit of a corresponding support plate of the cage. Fasteners are extendable through the selected fastening units to engage with the protrusions, thereby securing the peripheral device module to the cage.
