Abstract

A mounting apparatus for disk drive devices includes a bracket (30), an operation member (50), and a pair of rails (70). The bracket has a first sidewall (34) and a second sidewall (36) each defining a first retaining hole (342, 362) and a second retaining hole (346, 366). The second sidewall has a protrusion (42). The operation member is slidably mounted on the second sidewall. A hook (66) is formed on the operation member corresponding to the protrusion of the bracket. Each rail protrudes two locating posts (74) corresponding to the first and second retaining holes. In assembly, the operation member is in a holding position in which the locating posts of the rails are retained in the corresponding first and second retaining holes and the hook clasps the protrusion. In disassembly, the operation member is in a released position, and the hook is released from the protrusion.
