Abstract
A latch assembly for removably attaching a motherboard within an enclosure and for removably attaching a co-planar daughter board to the motherboard includes a first latch that is pivotally attached to the motherboard and a first latch actuator, wherein in an engaged position, the first latch extractor engages a first extraction surface of the enclosure. The assembly further includes a second latch that is pivotally attached to the daughter board, the second latch having a second latch extractor and a second latch actuator, wherein in the engaged position, the second latch extractor engages a second extraction surface of the motherboard. The first latch and the second latch pivot in adjacent planes. The second latch, however, may be disengaged to remove the daughter board from the motherboard without disengaging the first latch.
