Claim:
1. A method comprising: providing a pivotable latch coupled to a unit via a pivot, the pivot being disposed at a first side of the unit, and the unit to be latched within an enclosure; providing a spring member associated with the enclosure, the spring member being contacted by and having a tension force applied thereto by, a first end of the pivotable latch with rotating of the latch from an open position to a latched position during latching of the unit within the enclosure, the pivotable latch comprising the first end and a second end, the pivot being disposed closer to the first end than the second end thereof, and the rotating of the latch from the open position to the latched position during latching of the unit within the enclosure resulting in the latch contacting the spring member and slidably deflecting a first end and a second end of the spring member away from each other in opposite directions, thereby facilitating provision of a positive pressure on the unit by the pivotable latch directed towards a second side of the unit opposite to the first side thereof with latching of the unit within the enclosure; and wherein the spring member comprises a deflectable spring member with a portion thereof physically contacted by the first end of the pivotable latch with rotating of the latch from the open position to the latched position during latching of the unit within the enclosure, the first end of the pivotable latch pulling on the spring member in a direction opposite to a direction of the positive pressure on the unit directed towards the second side of the unit with latching of the unit within the enclosure.
