Abstract

A mounting apparatus includes a mounting bracket and a securing element. The mounting bracket is configured to receive a disk drive. The securing element is slidably mounted to the mounting bracket. The securing element includes a stopping portion. The securing element is configured to slide, along a first direction to engage the disk drive to prevent the disk drive from moving along a second direction that is substantially perpendicular to the first direction. The stopping portion is configured to block the mounting bracket to prevent the securing element from sliding out of the mounting bracket along a third direction that is opposite to the first direction.
