ABSTRACT:
An apparatus for securing a component in a computer system. The component is mounted in the chassis of the computer system. The apparatus includes a retaining bracket connected to the chassis of the computer system and a handle connected at a first end thereof to the component. The handle has a first and a second protrusion formed at the first end and has a recess formed between the first and second protrusions. The first protrusion engages the retaining bracket at a first surface thereof to limit the component to a first insertion depth in response to the component being removably inserted into the chassis with the handle in an open position. The second protrusion engages the retaining bracket at a second surface thereof and translates the component to a second insertion depth in response to the handle being moved to a closed position. The recess is configured to establish a clearance between the recess and the retaining member during movement of the handle between the open and closed position.
