  • Publication number: 20120320534
    Abstract: An electronic device includes a cabinet and electronic units received in the cabinet. A window is defined between two front columns. Each electronic unit includes a casing, which includes a top plate, a lateral side and a rotator. The lateral side defines an engaging opening therein. The rotator is movably connected to the casing and includes an engaging portion and an abutting portion.
