Abstract
An ejector mechanism is provided for ejecting a field replaceable module from a receiving location in a carrier of a modular system. The ejector mechanism can include a lever pivotally mounted on the carrier and including a formation for engaging the field replaceable module to eject the field replaceable module. The lever can also include a clamp for engaging with a handle of the field replaceable module. The lever can include a trigger that acts to release the clamp and to cause a protrusion to project from the lever as the formation for engaging the field replaceable module. Cable management can be provided, for example in the form of at least one wire loop receivable in a locating hole in the lever.
