A CPU module mounted within the canister includes a plurality of first connectors and a plurality of I/O modules are positioned within the chassis and include a second connector. A plurality of riser cards including a third connector coupled to a bottom edge and a fourth connector coupled to a rear edge, where the third connector on each riser card is connected to one of the first connectors and the fourth connector on each riser card is connected to one of the second connectors. Actuation of ejector levers pivotally mounted to the bottom panel of the chassis cause pins to move in the angled slots and the canister to move relative to the chassis so as to connect and disconnect the second and fourth connectors.
