Abstract
A peripheral device mounting apparatus includes a peripheral device carrier and a peripheral device rack. The carrier includes a drive bracket (30), a front bezel (40), and a lever (50) pivotably attached to the bezel and biased by a spring (60). The bezel includes a locking arm (45) and two projections (47). The lever includes a stopper (51), a handle (52), and an intermediate connecting wall (57). The stopper defines two grooves (54) slidingly and then engagingly receiving the projections, so as to retain the connecting wall in a vertical position. The carrier is then slid into the rack. When the carrier is almost fully received in the rack, the connecting wall abuts a front of the rack. The handle is then rotated, and the carrier is fully received in the rack. The locking arm engages with the handle, and the stopper retainingly extends through a hole of the rack.
