| description | The invention is directed to techniques which use a press fit lever for a disk drive assembly. Such a press fit lever alleviates the need for additional hardware (e.g., screws and inserts) thus reducing complexity, costs and time associated with installing levers on disk drive assemblies. One arrangement is directed to a data storage system having a main assembly and a disk drive assembly. The main assembly includes a supporting structure and a connector fastened to the supporting structure. The disk drive assembly includes a disk drive assembly having a housing, a disk drive attached to the housing, and a lever that installs the housing into and removes the housing from the main assembly to enable the disk drive to respectively connect to and disconnect from the connector of the main assembly. The lever includes a frame portion, and side portions that extend from the frame portion. The side portions pivotably couple the lever to the housing in a press fit manner such that the frame portion is capable of pivoting relative to the housing and the main assembly in order to secure the housing to and release the housing from the main assembly. In this arrangement, there is no need for screws or inserts to couple the lever to the housing. |
