Abstract
This invention packages option devices, such as floppy drives and hard disk drives, within an enclosure, thereby providing EMI/RFI shielding, promoting unimpeded option device electronic signaling, and reducing wasted space within an enclosure, such that small enclosures may encase the components. This invention includes a cage, for holding option devices, that is groundingly mounted in spaced relation to the major surface of a logic board, and an option device bracket that is slideably mounted within the cage. Each of the option device brackets contains one option device.
