Claim 0:
1. A module configured to be coupled to a computing device, the module comprising:
a tray configured to receive a circuit board thereon;
a mechanical switch coupled to the tray and movable between an unsecured position and a secured position; and
a linkage system mechanically coupled to the mechanical switch, the linkage system being movable between an unsecured configuration and a secured configuration in response to the mechanical switch moving between the unsecured position and the secured position, the linkage system including a (i) first linear body coupled to the mechanical switch, (ii) a first pivoting body coupled to the first linear body and pivotally coupled to the tray via a first pivot point, (iii) a second linear body coupled to the first pivoting body, and (iv) a second pivoting body coupled to the second linear body and pivotally coupled to the tray via a second pivot point,
wherein when the module is coupled to the computing device and the linkage system is in the secured configuration, the second pivoting body of the linkage system is engaged with a portion of the computing device, such that the module is locked to the computing device, and
wherein when the module is coupled to the computing device and in the unsecured configuration, the second pivoting body of the linkage system is disengaged from the portion of the computing device, such that the module is unlocked from the computing device.
