Abstract
A drawer slide which is capable of moving in and out of the housing of a computer or other electronic apparatus is configured to receive an interface card which is connected into the circuitry of the computer when the drawer slide is in a fully inserted position. The drawer slide rides in a drawer guide which is secured to the computer structure. An interface connector is mounted on the drawer guide and engages a connector on the interface card for connecting the interface card to the remainder of the computer circuitry. A key lock mechanism prevents unauthorized movement of the drawer slide and the associated interface card out of the computer housing.
