Abstract

A fixing mechanism for selectively fixing a first storage device and a second storage device includes a container member and a frame. The second storage device is a different size than the first storage device. The container member includes a bottom wall, a first sidewall positioned at a side of the bottom wall and a second sidewall positioned at the other side of the bottom wall. The sidewall forms a slide rail. The frame is positioned in the container member. The frame includes an engaging portion supporting the slide rail. The engaging portion is positioned in a first position for fixing the first storage device in a first state and positioned in a second position for fixing the second storage device in a second state.

Claims

1. A fixing mechanism for selectively fixing a first storage device and a second storage device having a second size that is different from a first size of the first storage device, the fixing mechanism comprising:

a container member, the container member comprising a bottom wall, a first sidewall positioned at a side of the bottom wall and a second sidewall positioned at the other side of the bottom wall, wherein each of the first sidewall and the second sidewall forming a slide rail;

a frame positioned in the container member, the frame comprising a engaging portion supporting the slide rail, the engaging portion positioned in a first position for fixing the first storage device in a first state and positioned in a second position for fixing the second storage device in a second state.

2. The fixing mechanism of claim 1, wherein the engaging portion of the frame is formed at a side of the frame.

3. The fixing mechanism of claim 2, wherein the engaging portion of the frame comprises a fixing structure and the first and second sidewalls each defines a first fixing hole corresponding to the fixing structure, through which a fastener passes and is received in the fixing structure, to fix the frame in the container member.

4. The fixing mechanism of claim 3, wherein the fixing structure is a through hole.

5. The fixing mechanism of claim 1, wherein the first sidewall forms an elastic member resisting the first storage device or the second storage device.
