Abstract
A pair of hard drives are slidably mounted upon a mounting displaced from an underlying printed circuit board secured to a base. The mounting includes a centrally located aperture beneath each hard drive to expose the underside of the hard drive to a cooling air flow flowing between the mounting and the printed circuit board. Rails, secured to the underside of each hard drive, slidably engage corresponding grooves in a respective section of the mounting and a locking bolt is used to secure a rail of the hard drive with the mounting. A ribbon cable having connectors at opposed ends interconnects each hard drive with the printed circuit board and the respective section of the mounting may include a tab to maintain the connector of the ribbon cable in engagement with a corresponding connector on the printed circuit board.
