Abstract
The system includes a chassis and a printed circuit board (e.g., a motherboard) that is attached to the chassis. The system further includes an actuator that is slidably engaged with the chassis and a cam plate that is rotatably engaged with the chassis. The actuator engages the cam plate such that maneuvering the actuator rotates the cam plate. The system further includes a blade (e.g., an electronic module) which is slidably engaged with the chassis such that the blade slides in a first direction within the chassis as the blade is inserted into the chassis. The blade is inserted into the chassis until the blade engages the cam plate. The cam plate engages the blade such that rotation of the cam plate causes the blade to continue to move in the first direction and engage the printed circuit board.
