Abstract
A mounting system for a storage drive includes a mounting bracket and a plurality of fasteners. The mounting bracket includes a first sidewall and a second sidewall, parallel to and spaced apart from the first sidewall. Each of the first and second sidewalls defines a plurality of apertures therein, spaced apart from one another and configured to align with corresponding threaded mounting apertures defined within the storage drive. The fasteners are positioned within apertures of the first and sidewalls. Each fastener has a head end and a distal end separated by a shaft having a first diameter. The distal end of each fastener is formed as a pin of a second diameter smaller than the first diameter and sized for linear, axial insertion within the corresponding threaded mounting apertures for an interference fit.
