ABSTRACT:
A modular component securing apparatus includes a chassis, a securing member moveably coupled to the chassis and including an activation surface, a biasing member coupled to the securing member and operable to bias the securing member into a deactivated position, a component detection member coupled to the securing member and operable to move the securing member relative to the chassis and into an activated position in response to the component detection member being engaged by a modular component, and an activation member including an activator surface. In response to the securing member being moved into the activated position, the activator surface may engage the activation surface in order to move the securing member relative to the chassis and into a securing position. The securing member may be moved into the securing position only when a modular component is positioned in the chassis.
