The engaging portion is extended through one through hole (44) of a side panel (42) of the mounting bracket to engage with the data storage apparatus. The cap is sandwiched between the head and the mounting bracket, for absorbing shock. The body is received in the through hole and is compressed between the screw and the mounting bracket, for absorbing shock. Grounding fingers of the grounding plate resiliently abut against the side panel, for forming grounding paths.

Abstract: A front panel assembly includes a front panel (10), a lining panel (30) and a cover (50). An opening (12) is defined in the front panel. A pair of parallel first arcuate guideways (122) is formed on an internal surface of the front panel at upper and lower extremities of the opening. The lining panel is attached to the front panel, includes a central vertical beam (36), and defines a recess (34). A pair of parallel second arcuate guideways (342) is formed at upper and lower extremities of the recess. A plurality of ports or other components is installed in the lining panel at the recess. The cover is received in the recess, and is slidable along the first and second guideways. The cover is slid toward the beam and snappingly engaging therewith, thus protecting the ports or other components in the recess from contamination or accidental damage.
