Abstract
A drive coupling apparatus includes a carrier base defining a drive channel and comprising a first symmetry plane. A plurality of drive coupling members are located on the carrier base and adjacent the drive channel in a symmetrical orientation about the first symmetry plane. A plurality of chassis coupling members located on the carrier base in a symmetrical orientation about the first symmetry plane. The carrier base may be coupled to a drive in a plurality of different drive coupling orientations such that the carrier base may couple to an information handling system chassis and allow the drive to be coupled to an information handling system with the carrier base coupled to the drive in any of the drive coupling orientations.
