  • Publication number: 20040240172
    Abstract: An electronic apparatus is provided with a housing having a receptacle, a disk drive removably stored in the receptacle, and a grounding metal member attached to the disk drive. The disk drive has a depressed section, and this depressed section is exposed to the receptacle when the disk drive is stored in the receptacle. The grounding metal member is located in the depressed section and includes a first conduction portion. The receptacle of the housing has a second conduction portion. When the disk drive is stored in the receptacle, the second conduction portion comes into contact with the first conduction portion of the grounding metal member, thereby providing ground-connection between the disk drive and the housing.
