FIG. 7 shows the positional relationship between the protrusion and the hole when the lateral width of the opening is widened, and FIG. 7 shows the positional relationship between the projection and the hole when the lateral width of the opening is narrowed.

In the state where the width of the opening 42a is widened, the protrusion 421a is located outside the holder member 422 as shown in FIG. When one of the two

holder members

421 and 422 is slid with respect to the other to narrow the lateral width of the opening 42a, the protrusion 421 enters the hole 422a as shown in FIG. As described above, when the

holder members

421 and 422 are slid to widen or narrow the lateral width of the opening 42a, they slide with a click due to interference between the protrusion 42a and the holder member 422, and widen unless a certain force is applied. It is the structure which does not slide between the state which narrowed and the state narrowed.

The two

holder members

421 and 422 are respectively provided with screw fixing mounting

holes

421b and 422b at two locations, and these mounting

holes

421b and 422b overlap with each other with the lateral width of the opening 42a narrowed. Thus, a mounting hole 42b of the holder 42 is formed, and the holder 42 is screwed to a fixing bracket described below.

FIG. 9 is a perspective view of the fixing bracket.

The fixing bracket 43 is for attaching the holder 42 holding the HDD 41, and is fixed on the main board 30 (see FIG. 4).
