CARD HANDLE INSERTION MECHANISM AND METHOD

摘要

An apparatus for mounting a circuit board assembly to a chassis includes a mounting assembly. The mounting assembly includes a bracket member externally mounted onto the circuit board assembly, and a handle having a pivot portion. The pivot portion of the handle includes a top side including a locking mechanism for securing the circuit board assembly to the chassis and a hook portion including at least one set of generally parallel fingers. Each set of generally parallel fingers comprises a long finger located adjacent the top side of the pivot portion and a short finger located below the long finger. The asymmetry of the fingers allows for improved alignment of the hook and the bar when inserting the circuit board assembly into the chassis.
