Storage medium accommodating apparatus, industrial computer, and method

A housing for a monitor of an industrial computer is installed in/on a plate and includes a basic section, a frame section, an engagement element, a spring element, a guide element and a fixing element. The frame section is attached on the plate. The engagement element optionally moves from an unlocked position where the engagement element is detached from engagement with the plate to a locked position where the engagement element is engaged with the plate in a shape fitting manner. The spring element pretensions the engagement element in a direction toward the locked position. The engagement element is linearly guided along the guide element. The fixing element fixes the engagement element at the unlocked position or the locked position, and is releasable, so that the engagement element automatically moves from the unlocked position to the locked position by means of the spring element.
