Alignment and connection mechanism |
摘要 |
A storage unit for an array of modular assemblies, such as disk drives, includes a cabinet having an array of rectangular cavities open toward the front, each for receiving an assembly carrier drawer. Each carrier drawer has electrical connections for receiving an electrical assembly in the drawer. The rear of each drawer has an electrical connection panel for mating a receiving panel connected to the inside back of the cabinet, and associated with the electrical connection panels are pin-and-aperture locating and registering means for precisely aligning the carrier drawer for proper mating electrical contact with the back of the cabinet automatically as the carrier drawer is pushed fully into the cabinet. This enables disk drive maintenance to be performed quickly and efficiently by pulling out a carrier drawer and inspecting, repairing or replacing the modular assembly.
