A housing, which may contain a hard disk drive, is configured to
removably mount to a recessed surface of a console. The housing includes
a lip and a biased latch arm so that the lip can be inserted into a
corresponding feature in the recessed surface and the housing can be
rotatably mounted to the recessed surface. The biased latch arm is
retained by a latch arm retainer so that the housing is held in place. A
cable connector extends from the bottom of the housing and is configured
to connect to a receptor on the console when the housing is installed.
When desired, a latch on the housing can be translated where the
translation cause the biased latch arm to translate so as to clear the
latch arm retainer. Thus the housing can be readily removed from the
console. Preferably a portion of the housing extends beyond a wall of the
recessed surface so that when installed, the housing alters the profile
of the console.
