Abstract

A media slice includes a guide member and a docking surface with locating members, locking members and a first connector. A cavity in the media slice is open to the docking surface. An information handling system includes locating member receivers and a second connector. The information handling system is docked in the media slice by using the guide member and locating members to align the information handling system above the media slice. The locating members engage the locating member receivers and hold the information handling system parallel to the docking surface. With the locating members and locating member receivers engaged, the information handling system may be lowered onto the media slice, allowing the first connector and second connector to be mated and the locking members to lock the information handling system to the media slice. A battery may be stored in the cavity to be locked into the information handling system/media slice combination.
