Abstract
An improved storage device sled is provided. The storage device sled includes first and second portions, each of which includes a threaded fastener, a longitudinal member, and a bezel member. The longitudinal members are configured to couple to mounting holes of a storage device. Each of the bezel members is orthogonal to a longitudinal member. One of the bezel members includes a latching clip and cutouts to receive one or more alignment projections. The other bezel member includes a latching clip receiver, configured to receive and capture the latching clip, and the one or more alignment projections. Each of the longitudinal members includes a hole for the threaded fastener, which retains the longitudinal member to a mounting hole on a side of the storage device. The longitudinal members also include a tapered post, which captures a mounting hole on a side of the storage device.
