Zusammenfassung:The invention relates to a drawer slide (20) which is capable of moving in and out of the housing of a computer or other electronic apparatus. The drawer slide (20) is configured to receive an interface card which is connected into the circuitry of the computer when the drawer slide (20) is in a fully inserted position. The drawer slide (20) rides in a drawer guide (10) which is secured to the computer structure. An interface connector (24) is mounted on the drawer guide (10) and engages a connector on the interface card for connecting the interface card to the remainder of the computer circuitry. A key lock mechanism (38) prevents unauthorized movement of the drawer slide (20) and the associated interface card out of the computer housing.
