ABSTRACT:
Disclosed is a pivoting apparatus comprising a pivot base defining a connection cavity, a pivot slot including an L-shape, and an alignment slot including a curvature that bulges towards a riser card, a key structure extending from at least one of the riser card and a processor in an electronic enclosure, the key structure being fixedly associated with the connection cavity of the pivot base, and a pivotor rotateably associated with the pivot base and fixedly associated with a power supply, the pivotor including an alignment ramp, an alignment pin, and a pivot pin, wherein the alignment pin is removably disposed in the alignment slot, and the pivot pin is pivotably disposed in the pivot slot. The pivotor (14) supports an electrical connector (50) joined to the supply (32). The connector mates with a riser card (24) mounted in a processor (30) to supply power to the riser card.
