1. A clamp for securing a pair of components to a rack or other structure surface defining a slot, comprising: a first clamp member including a pair of engagement members, each engagement member including at least one flange extending away from the other engagement member configured to engage a respective component, and a bridge interconnecting the engagement members, the bridge and the engagement members defining a bore; a second clamp member received by the bore and comprising a pair of arms each including a mounting bracket extending away from the other arm and a connecting member interconnecting the arms, the mounting brackets of the second clamp member configured to be received by the slot; and a clamp actuator interconnecting the first and second clamp members for moving the first and second clamp members between an engaged position and a disengaged position and to move the mounting brackets of the second clamp member toward the flanges of the first clamp member as the first and second clamp members are moved to the engaged position, wherein each flange of the engagement members is configured to engage a side of a respective component and each mounting bracket of the arms is configured to engage the rack or other structure when the first and second clamp members are in the engaged position; wherein the clamp actuator biases the first and second clamp members toward the disengaged position.
