Claim 8:
9. A method, comprising:
transitioning a biased latch between an extended state and a retracted state by applying a force to extendable portions of the biased latch, the force causing a first of the extendable portions to slide relative to an underlying portion and to expose one of a plurality of indicators on the underlying portion through a slideable window of the first of the extendable portions, the biased latch being included within a device carrier assembly and attached to a device carrier that is configured to receive a computing element;
while applying the force, inserting the device carrier assembly into a chassis until the device carrier assembly reaches a predefined position in the chassis; and
removing the applied force, responsive to the device carrier assembly reaching the predefined position, the removal of the force transitioning the biased latch from the retracted state to an engaged state, wherein extendable portions of the biased latch in the engaged state engage recesses in walls of the chassis and extend further than in the retracted state.
