The bail may include cantilever hooks for securing the bail against the module in a latched position. The delatch clip may include a spring mechanism having two spring arms for locking the bail-delatch mechanism to the module, and a delatch fork having tines with wedges for releasing a post of the module from a latch tab of the cage.
