Disclosed herein is a bracket assembly for installing and removing an electrical device into and out of electrical equipment. The bracket assembly includes a slide and a mating carrier. The slide is semi-permanently mounted in electrical equipment, such as a computer work station or a shoe box or a personal computer. A compatible carrier includes the electrical device mounted thereon and engages and mates with the semi-permanently mounted slide. The slide is electrically connected to the electrical equipment and the carrier is electrically connected to the slide. In addition to being physically connected to the electrical device, the carrier is electrically connected to the electrical device by means of an electrical interconnect. Additionally, the carrier includes a configuration identification switch which allows the user to assign a device identification number while the electrical device is mounted on the carrier. The device identification number is visible to the user. The device includes power interrupt switch for applying and removing operating power to the electrical device.
