Zusammenfassung:Electronic device includes a drive carrier, a drive cage, and a backplane circuit board. The drive carrier includes a front structure, a first side structure having a keying protrusion, and a second side structure, which in conjunction receives a media drive such that a rear face of the front structure abuts a front face of the drive and the keying protrusion extends beyond a rear face of the drive. The drive cage includes a drive bay and a keying flange inside the drive bay. When the drive carrier is arranged in the drive bay in a first orientation, the keying protrusion aligns with the keying flange and prevents the drive to couple with the backplane circuit board. When the drive carrier is arranged in the drive bay in a second orientation, the keying protrusion aligns away from the keying flange and allows the drive to couple with the backplane circuit board.
