Abstract:
1. A mounting assembly for a data storage device defining a plurality of pinholes in a sidewall, comprising: a cage, adapted for receiving the data storage device, comprising a side plate, the side plate defining a plurality of mounting apertures configured for corresponding to the pinholes of the data storage device; a fixing member, movable in a direction perpendicular to the side plate, attached to the side plate by an attaching member, an elastic member for pressing the fixing member sandwiched between the attaching member and the fixing member, a plurality of pegs extending from the fixing member, the fixing member defining at least one arc-shaped guiding slot; and a rotating member, being rotatable around an axis perpendicular to the side plate, the rotating member being sandwiched between the side plate and the fixing member, the rotating member comprising at least one rim capable of sticking out from the guiding slot of the fixing member to push the fixing member to move apart from the cage when the rotating member is rotated; wherein the rotating member pushes or releases the fixing member, the pegs of the fixing member are thereby moved for retreating from the pinholes of the data storage device or being inserted into the pinholes under functions of the elastic member; wherein the rotating member comprises a base contacting the side plate, and an operating handle protruding away from the side plate from an outer face of the base, the at least one rim is formed on the outer face of the base around the handle in a circumferential direction, and each rim forms a smooth slant top wall gradually raised from the base along said circumferential direction.
