Abstract
A disk drive module adapted for use in a data processing system, the system including first and second disk drive module guide plates. The disk drive module comprises an elongated, generally rectangular frame. The top wall of the frame includes a fin slidably insertable into a groove formed on the second guide plate, and the bottom wall of the frame includes a T-bar slidably insertable into a channel formed on the first guide plate. The T-bar includes a detent which releasably engages a pawl formed in the channel for securing the T-bar within the channel. A 3.5 inch disk drive and a regulator card are mounted within the frame. The regulator card is mounted on the frame for movement in three directions using bifurcated squeezable snaps inserted through oversized holes formed in the regulator card. Each snap includes a tab which limits upward movement of the card.
