Abstract

Apparatus (100) is provided for mounting media drives. Top and bottom frames (102, 104) are coupled together in a pivoting relationship (106, 108). The frames (102, 104) are configured to receive top and bottom media drives, respectively. In a closed position, the top frame (102) fits substantially over the bottom frame (104). In an open position, the top frame (102) pivots away from the bottom frame (104) by a pivot angle (136) sufficient to insert the bottom media drive into or remove the bottom media drive from the bottom tray (104).
