Abstract
A method and system for mounting an information handling system disk drive with one or more storage disk drives coupled to an information handling system circuit board so that components of the information handling system are disposed in the space between the storage disk drive and the circuit board. In one embodiment, a server blade mounts plural hard disk drives to a motherboard with tool-less shoulder screws that elevate the hard disk drives relative to the motherboard to allow space for interfacing components, such as a bridge chip and video chip, with the motherboard below the hard disk drive. Cooling air flows through the space between the motherboard and the hard disk drives to cool plural processors interfaced with the motherboard.
