Abstract: A memory storage system which facilitates swappability of memory storage device controllers includes a circuit assembly, a host system connector, controller connectors, memory storage device connectors and a display. The circuit assembly attaches to memory storage devices, memory storage device controllers and a host system. The circuit assembly enables rapid removal and replacement of memory storage device controllers from the memory storage system during operation of the memory storage system. The display electronically communicates with the circuit assembly and indicates which host system data bus the controller connector is associated with. The display also indicates the SCSI ID of the controller connector.

Abstract: A bracket for removeably attaching a memory storage device to an equipment side includes a frame attachable to the memory storage device, the frame including a front portion, a first rail and a second rail. A handle is pivotally mounted to the front portion of the frame and includes a guide slot and, at one end thereof, an ejection member. A slide member has a catch at one end, and includes a travel member protruding therefrom, which travel member is inserted in the guide slot. As the handle is manually pivoted away from the front portion to an open position, the travel member travels within the guide slot causing the slide member to slide against the front surface, the catch to retract and the ejection member to pivot with the handle to eject the bracket from the slide.
