ABSTRACT:
A board-handling mechanism for more easily installing and removing boards from motherboards and/or other mountings within system enclosures does not require the removal of the enclosure. The mechanism provides leverage to positively seat and unseat circuit boards mounted into system connectors on the motherboard or other locations within system enclosures. A cable loop connector is provided within the enclosure opposite the opening for engaging the I/O connector on the forward edge of the daughterboard. The cable loop connector is biased to an upper position so that the daughterboard will first seat in the cable loop connector before being lowered and engaged to the motherboard connector.
