摘要： Various arrangements of carrier trays and carriers for data storage devices, such as disk drives, are disclosed. The arrangements of carrier trays and carriers are arranged to be rigid, and therefore more resistant to vibration arising from operation of the data storage device in the tray and neighboring data storage devices, and/or easier to use.

摘要： In one aspect, a data storage device carrier (10) has a bay in which a data storage device can be received. A light pipe (11) is provided for conveying light from one end of the carrier (10) to the other. A diffuser (16) is located near to but spaced from said other end of the light pipe (11) so as to spread and thereby magnify light emerging from said other end of the light pipe (11). In another aspect, a data storage device chassis (1) has a plurality of walls (3,4,20). At least some of the walls (3,4,20) have at least one runner (21) along at least part of the length of the wall (3,4,20) to define a plurality of bays in which data storage devices can be housed. At least one runner (21) has a transparent portion so as to be able to convey light from a light source (9) to the front of the chassis (1). In another aspect, a data storage device carrier (10 or chassis (1) has a strip of electroluminescent material (31) for displaying information.

摘要： In one aspect, a carrier (10) for a data storage device has a base (22) and side walls (23,24) upstanding from the base (22). A runner (25) is provided on at least one side wall (23,24) for sliding engagement with a runner (12) of a chassis (1) in which the carrier (10) is in use mounted. The carrier runner (25) is on the edge of the at least side wall (23,24) that is opposite the base (22). The width of the carrier runner (25) generally transverse to the side wall (23,24) is greater than the thickness of the at least one side wall (23,24). In another aspect, a carrier (10) for a data storage device has a base (22) and side walls (23,24) upstanding from the base (22). The material of the carrier (10) is resilient. The carrier (10) is arranged such that the carrier (10) can grip a data storage device between the side walls (23,24).

摘要： A data storage device chassis for housing a plurality of data storage devices has a plurality of walls at least some of which have at least one guide strip along at least part of the length of the wall to define a plurality of bays in which data storage devices (18) can be housed. The guide strips support respective data storage devices in the bays such that the data storage devices can be slid into and out of the bays by sliding along the guide strips. The at least some of the walls are composed of a non-metallic material such that the surface of said guide strips along which a data storage device slides is non-metallic. Each of said at least some of the walls have an electrically conductive portion passing through the wall to provide for electrical conduction between the bays thereby providing electrical shielding for data storage devices housed in the bays.

摘要： A chassis for a data storage device enclosure is disclosed. The chassis comprises a bay arranged to receive a module and a key in the bay. The bay key is constructed and arranged such that a module can be received in the bay only when said module has a corresponding module key. The bay key is manually reconfigurable by a user without use of a tool from a first configuration in which only a module having a corresponding first key can be received in the bay to a second configuration in which only a module having a corresponding second key, which is different from the first key, can be received in the bay.
