Abstract:
1. A mounting apparatus for a data storage device, the apparatus comprising: a bracket to receive the data storage device, the bracket comprising a sidewall, the sidewall defining a receiving slot facing the data storage device, a bottom bounding the receiving slot defining a pivot hole, opposite sides bounding the receiving slot each defining a recess; and a latching member comprising a baffle received in the receiving slot and supported on the bottom of the receiving slot, an elastic member received in the baffle, a block tab located on the baffle opposite to the bottom of the receiving slot and opposite ends of the block tab engaged in the recesses, and a pivot shaft passing through the baffle, the elastic member, to engage in the block tab and the pivot hole with opposite ends of the pivot shaft, wherein a first end of the elastic member resists against the sidewall in the receiving slot, a second end of the elastic member resists against the block tab; and wherein when the data storage device is not mounted in the bracket, a first end of the baffle extends into the bracket, a second end of the baffle extends out of the bracket under elasticity of the elastic member, wherein when the data storage device is mounted in the bracket, the data storage device drives the baffle to rotate, thereby the first and second ends of the baffle withdraw into the receiving slot of the sidewall.
