ABSTRACT:
A board-handling mechanism for more easily installing and removing boards from motherboards and/or other mountings within system enclosures such that it does not require the removal of the enclosure. The mechanism provides leverage to positively unseat circuit boards mounted into system connectors on the motherboard or other locations within system enclosures. A gripping mechanism is used for gripping one edge of the circuit board during the unseating process. The gripping mechanism is particularly adapted to provide additional force to unseat the circuit board. The gripping mechanism is adjustably mounted for accommodating circuit boards of various sizes.
