A docking module for conventional small form factor disk drives provides, in
one
embodiment, space for two such disk drives embedded in tray loaders, within a standard
3.5 inches halve height floppy bay. The docking module provides hot swappable insertion
and removal of tray loaders together with disk drives. The bay is provided within
a housing member. A button attached to a lever mechanism disconnects the docking
module connector from the tray loader connector and partially pull out the loader
when the button is pushed; An EMI shield fixedly coupled to the tray loaders each
provide a barrier to electromagnetic interference.
