INFORMATION HANDLING SYSTEM TOOL-LESS DAUGHTER CARD RETAINER AND LATCH

Daughter cards couple to an information handling system chassis and are secured in place with insertion of a retainer in a retainer guide that aligns to engage with securing elements of the daughter cards coupled to the chassis. A hinge member couples the retainer to the retainer guide between an inserted position and an idle position to maintain the retainer attached to the chassis but removed out of the way for daughter card manipulation during addition or removal of the daughter card at the chassis.
