Abstract
A cam mounting mechanism (“CMM”) includes a detachable mounting tray (“tray”) that includes a base and two side walls. Each side wall includes engagement notches that receive a respective engagement member of a sled enclosure of a server chassis. The CMM includes two internal sliding rails (“IRRs”), each being attached to an internal surface of a respective side wall of the tray by a respective fastener that extends through a respective slide slot of the IRR, and each including the respective slide slots and multiple guide slots. Each slide slot enables the IRR to slide longitudinally relative to the side wall. Each guide slot slidably receives a respective engagement member and is shaped to constrain the tray to vertical movement relative to the sled enclosure while constraining the IRR to longitudinal movement. The CMM includes a cam handle that rotates in order to drive both IRRs to move in unison.
