Abstract:
1. An apparatus, comprising: a bracket having a generally flat base with two side panels extending downwards perpendicular to the base; a handle with a first pair of gear segments extending downwards from opposite sides of one end of the handle wherein the first pair of gear segments are parallel to each other, where each of the first pair of gear segment has teeth on one edge and a slot formed on the opposite edge, the handle rotatably mounted to the two side panels at one end of the bracket and configured to rotate between an open position and a closed position; a second pair of gear segments rotatably mounted to the two side panels at an opposite end of the bracket, where each of the second pair of gear segment has teeth on one edge and a slot formed on the opposite edge, wherein the teeth of the second pair of gear segments are meshed with the teeth of the first pair of gear segments such that when the handle is rotated the second set of gear segments also rotate; an interposer printed circuit assembly (PCA) comprising a printed circuit (PC) board and two connectors attached to a bottom side of the PC board, the PCA attached to a top side of the bracket; wherein the slots are configured to engage four insertion/ejection flanges on a chassis, wherein when the handle is rotated from the open position to the closed position the slots engage the insertion/ejection flanges on the chassis and force the connectors into mating connectors mounted in the chassis.
