ABSTRACT:
A method and system is disclosed for locking and releasing a module utilized in a transceiver system that includes a plurality of modules in close proximity with one another. The module is generally configured to include a handle with an associated cam formed in a first section of the module. The handle is moveable in a direction to allow the cam to move an associated ejector button integrated with the module in order to release the module from the transceiver system, thereby permitting the module to be efficiently removed from the transceiver system. The module may thus be removed from the transceiver system utilizing the handle. The module may be locked into the transceiver system when the handle is placed in an upward position.
