ABSTRACT:
An electronic system, such as a computer, having a housing with a door opening into an interior of the housing. An insertion mechanism is mounted on the door and includes a handle provided on an exterior side of the door and a driver portion provided on an interior side. The driver portion includes a rotatable latch driver attached to the handle and a rotatable latch follower engaging the latch driver through a set of gears. A movable mount is slideably mounted onto the door and a circuit board assembly is mounted onto the movable mount. After the door of the housing is closed, rotation of the handle causes rotation of the latch driver, which, in turn, causes rotation of the latch follower. The latch driver and follower engage the movable mount such that their rotation causes forward movement of the movable mount and the circuit board assembly. This forward movement causes an edge connector provided along a forward edge of the circuit board assembly to mate with a connection socket provided in an interior portion of the housing.
