Abstract

A server includes a casing, a storage device, and a storage device frame assembly. The casing includes a first side plate. The storage device frame assembly includes a support frame and a handle. The support frame accommodates the storage device and is removably mounted on the first side plate. The handle includes a pivotable component and a slidable component. The pivotable component is pivotably disposed on the support frame. The slidable component is slidably disposed on the pivotable component. The slidable component is slidable between a first position and a predetermined position relative to the pivotable component, a longitudinal axis of the slidable component in the first position is non-parallel to the longitudinal axis of the slidable component in the predetermined position.

First claim
