Abstract:
An apparatus for inserting a computer component into, and removing the computer component from, a bay of a computer, the apparatus comprising:a first frame member adapted for movement between retracted and extended positions, the first frame member having a pull bar adapted for grasping by a user for moving the first frame member to at least the extended position; a first locking member being adapted for movement with the computer component; a second locking member being stationary with respect to the first frame member; the first and second locking members being mutually engageable when the first frame member is in the retracted position for preventing movement of the computer component out of the bay; wherein movement of the first frame member from the retracted position toward the extended position causes the first and second locking members to disengage, thereby releasing the computer component from the bay.
