Abstract

A disk drive cage includes a bracket (20) and a shielding member (10). The bracket includes two parallel side plates (21, 22). A positioning flange (212) is bent from one of the side plates (21). The shielding member includes a front wall (13), a top wall (15), a bottom wall (16), a first side wall (12), and a second side wall (14). A resilient lip piece (141) is formed on the second side wall and having at least one locking tab (142) engaging with the positioning flange when the shielding member inserts into the bracket. The top wall and the bottom wall has arc-shaped edges (152, 162) to allow resilient deformation of the first side wall towards the arc-shaped edges by the other one of the side plates (22), and the shielding member rotating out from the bracket.
