Carrier for an electronic device

摘要

A carrier for an electronic device such as a disk drive comprises a hollow casing for accomodating the electronic device. The casing is configured for sliding insertion into and out of a rack having a back plane with at least one lamp which in use indicates the status of the electronic device. At least one light guide extends from the front to the rear of the casing. The rear end of the light guide is in register with the lamp when the casing is inserted in the rack and light emerging from the front end of the light guide is visible at the front of the casing. Thus the status of the device can be ascertained without the need for lamps on the front of the carrier and attendant wiring from the back plane.
