Abstract

A mounting mechanism includes a computer chassis (20), a bracket (30) defining a pair of slideways (341, 342) in a sidewall (34) thereof for receiving corresponding sliding members (12) of a storage device (10), a power supply (50) rotatably attached in the computer chassis, and a fastening piece (40) attached to the sidewall of the bracket. The fastening piece has a tilted portion (42), and a blocking portion (44). When the power supply is rotated inwardly, a retention member (56) of the power supply presses the tilted portion toward the sidewall, so that the blocking portion blocks the sliding member of the storage device in a corresponding slideway of the bracket. The storage device is thus secured in the bracket.
