1. Technical Field
The present disclosure relates to data storage device assemblies, and particularly to a data storage device assembly positioning means.
2. Description of Related Art
In a computer or server, a data storage device, such as a CD-ROM drive, is simply screwed to a bracket before installing to the computer enclosure. Because of symmetric construction of the data storage device, workers often assemble the data storage in the bracket in a wrong direction. For example, with the CD-ROM face down.
Therefore, there is room for improvement within the art.
Many aspects of the embodiments can be better understood with references to the following drawings. The components in the drawings are not necessarily drawn to scale, the emphasis instead being placed upon clearly illustrating the principles of the embodiments. Moreover, in the drawings, like reference numerals designate corresponding parts throughout the several views.
The disclosure is illustrated by way of example and not by way of limitation in the figures of the accompanying drawings in which like references indicate similar elements. It should be noted that references to “an” or “one” embodiment in this disclosure are not necessarily to the same embodiment, and such references mean at least one.
The bracket 10 includes a top plate 11, a bottom plate 13, a first side plate 15, and a second side plate 17. The top plate 11 is substantially parallel to the bottom plate 13. The first side plate 15 and the second side plate 17 are parallel to each other and substantially connected to the top plate 11 and the bottom plate 13.
The top plate 11 and the bottom plate 13 each defines a first engaging slot 111 corresponding to the data storage 30. Each of the first engaging slot 111 (shown in
Each of the first side plate 15 and the second side plate 17 defines a second engaging slot 151 (shown in
The data storage device 30 includes a top wall 31, a bottom wall 32, a first sidewall 33 and a second sidewall 35. The top wall 31 is substantially parallel to the bottom wall 32. The first sidewall 33 is substantially parallel to the second sidewall 35. Two latch portions 351 are located on each of the first sidewall 33 and the second sidewall 35. The two latch portions 351 are in line. A first distance is defined between the top wall 31 and each of the two latch portions 351, and a second distance is defined between the bottom wall 32 and each of the two latch portions 351. The first distance is greater than the second distance, and the second distance is substantially equal to the third distance and the fourth distance.
