There is provided a mechanical backplane having multiple retainers defined in a top surface thereof. There is also a cable having a first end and a second end, the first end of the cable being mounted to one retainer in the mechanical back plane such that the first end can receive a hard drive , and the second end connectable to be in communication with the motherboard. A fastener is attached to the first end, the fastener anchoring the cable to the retainer to anchor the one or more hard drives. The fastener can be in the form of tabs to receive mounting screws to screw the first end to the retainer on the mechanical back plane, or in the form of clips or shanks to allow the hard drive to snap into place during use. In one embodiment, the mechanical backplane is a C-channel shape and the multiple retainers are configured to be in a row.</p> |
