摘要： A disk drive system includes a disk drive array enclosure forming receiving cavities for housing respective disk drive modules. Each receiving cavity is defined by top, bottom, and rear surfaces, and an opening. The top and bottom surfaces of each receiving cavity expand away from one another to form receiving slots adjacent the opening of the receiving cavity. The disk drive system further includes a disk drive module having a housing and a disk drive carrier handle connected to the housing. The drive module is insertable into a receiving cavity of the drive array enclosure such that the housing is enclosed by the top, bottom, and rear surfaces of the receiving cavity and the drive carrier handle is positioned at the opening of the receiving cavity. The drive carrier handle has tab purchases located around the periphery of the drive carrier handle. The tab purchases engage into respective receiving slots of the drive array enclosure when the drive module is inserted into a receiving cavity of the drive array enclosure to create an interference fit between the drive module and the drive array enclosure and damp vibration transferred between the drive module and the drive array enclosure. The drive carrier handle includes a latching and locking mechanism for latching and locking the drive module to the drive array enclosure. The latching and locking mechanism is pivotally connected to the drive carrier handle to pivot between a closed position for latching the drive module to the drive carrier and an opened position for unlatching the drive module from the drive carrier. The latching and locking mechanism is operable to be locked into the closed position.
