ABSTRACT:
A system and method for installing and retaining an input/output connector without tools is presented. A user removes a module from a computer system in order to add or remove a transceiver. The module includes a housing and a front bezel, whereby a bezel latch attaches the front bezel to the housing. The user depresses the bezel latch to remove the front bezel from the housing. As a result, a retention beam is exposed on the housing that secures transceivers to a circuit board. The user unlatches the retention beam, inserts a transceiver onto a mounting area, and latches the retention beam. The retention beam applies pressure to the transceiver, which results in a coupling of the transceiver to a circuit board included in the housing. In turn, the user attaches the front bezel to the housing via the bezel latch and reinserts the module into the computer system.
