Abstract
A device unit, which mainly has, for example, wires, includes a main body portion having a primary function and a bracket portion functioning as an attachment part to a device. The main body portion and the bracket portion of the device unit are detachably combined with each other. In an assembly process, the device unit is attached to another device unit with the bracket portion through a side surface of the storage device. In order to detach the device unit from the device and to attach the device unit to the device when the device is set in a field, the main body portion is simply detached from and attached to the bracket portion through a front or rear surface of the device.
