Abstract: A holding system for electronic modules, particularly for magnetic disk drives the holding system a withdrawable frame which can be inserted into a drive bay of an electronic data processing device, particularly a PC, and whose length corresponds to the depth of the drive bay, and further having a U-shaped bracket in whose U limbs first holes are provided for the passage of first fastening elements for fastening the bracket on lateral surfaces, directed parallel to the inserting direction, of the module, and second holes are provided for the passage of second fastening elements for fastening the bracket to the withdrawable frame. The fastening elements can be surrounded by damping elements consisting of an elastic material.

Abstract: The arrangement connects at least one module (M) to a power supply unit (SV) in an apparatus in such a way that a connection is provided when the power supply unit (SV) is switched on. In the apparatus is a contact element (KG, VE) which is located outside the module and has leading contacts and a device for current limitation (AS) of an initial current flow.
