Server and data storage device mounting structure
A server allowing individual dismounting of data storage units includes a housing, a frame, and a data storage device mounting structure. The frame defines two openings and is slidably attached to the housing. The data storage device mounting structure includes a fixing plate rotationally attached to the frame. The fixing plate includes a first end, a second end opposite to the first end, and a protrusion extending from each of the first end and the second end. The two protrusions are alternately received in the two openings. When the protrusion on the second end is received in an opening, the protrusion on the first end is retracts from the other opening and the protrusion on the second end abuts against the housing to allow a single data storage unit but not the frame to be taken out of the housing.

6. The server as claimed in claim 5 , wherein the elastic piece comprises two elastic arms, a distal end of the each elastic arm is bent to form a hook, the fixing plate further defines a locking hole positioned between the two protrusions, one of the two hooks is hooked to the locking hole.
7. The server as claimed in claim 6 , wherein one of the two support plates defines a restriction hole, the other hook is hooked to the restriction hole.
8. The server as claimed in claim 1 , wherein the housing comprises a bottom shell and a top shell parallel to the bottom shell, a blocking plate extends from an edge of the bottom shell toward the top shell, the protrusion on the second end abuts against the blocking plate.
9. A server comprising:
a housing;
a frame defining two openings and the frame slidably attached to the housing; and
a data storage device mounting structure comprising a fixing plate rotationally attached to the frame, the fixing plate comprising a first end, a second end opposite to the first end and a protrusion extending from each of the first end and the second end, the two protrusions corresponding to the two openings and alternately received in the two openings;
wherein when the protrusion on the second end is received in a corresponding opening, the protrusion on the first end retracts from the other opening and the protrusion on the second end abuts against the housing to prevent the frame sliding out of the housing.
10. The server as claimed in claim 9 , wherein the frame comprises a bottom wall, the bottom wall defines the two openings.
11. The server as claimed in claim 10 , wherein two support plates are perpendicularly extended from a middle of an inner side of the bottom wall, the support plates are substantially parallel to each other, each support plate defines a shaft hole for receiving a shaft.
12. The server as claimed in claim 11 , wherein two restriction plates extend from middle of two opposite edges of the fixing plate, each restriction plate defines a through hole for receiving the shaft.
13. The server as claimed in claim 12 , wherein the data storage device mounting structure further comprises an elastic piece, the elastic piece sleeves on the shaft and is positioned between the two restriction plates.
14. The server as claimed in claim 13 , wherein the elastic piece comprises two elastic arms, a distal end of the each elastic arm is bent to form a hook, the fixing plate further defines a locking hole positioned between the two protrusions, one of the two hooks is hooked to the locking hole.
15. The server as claimed in claim 14 , wherein one of the two support plates defines a restriction hole, the other hook is hooked to the restriction hole.
16. The server as claimed in claim 9 , wherein the housing comprises a bottom shell and a top shell parallel to the bottom shell, a blocking plate extends from an edge of the bottom shell toward the top shell, the protrusion on the second end abuts against the blocking plate.
17. A data storage device mounting structure configured to assemble to a frame, the frame defining two openings and the frame slidably attached to a housing, the data storage device mounting structure comprising:
a fixing plate rotationally attached to the frame, the fixing plate comprising a first end, a second end opposite to the first end and a protrusion extending from each of the first end and the second end, the first end and the second end form an obtuse angle, the vertex of which is located towards the middle of the fixing plate, one of the protrusions enabled to be received in one of the two openings and the other protrusion enabled to be received in the other openings;
wherein when the protrusion on the first end received in the corresponding opening, the protrusion on the second end retracts from the corresponding opening, when the protrusion on the second end received in the corresponding opening, the protrusion on the first end retracts from the corresponding opening and the protrusion on the second end abuts against the housing to prevent the frame sliding out of the housing.
18. The data storage device mounting structure as claimed in claim 17 , wherein the frame comprises a bottom wall, the bottom wall defines the two openings, two support plates are perpendicularly extended from a middle of an inner side of the bottom wall, the support plates are substantially parallel to each other, each support plate defines a shaft hole for receiving a shaft.
19. The server as claimed in claim 18 , wherein two restriction plates extend from middle of two opposite edges of the fixing plate, each restriction plate defines a through hole for receiving the shaft.
