Abstract
An alignment guidepin comprises a pre-alignment portion, an alignment portion, and a release portion. The pre-alignment portion provides gross alignment for a connection between a connecting module of a server and a connector of a computer server chassis. The alignment portion is connected to the pre-alignment portion having a first diameter to allow a high precision alignment for the connection between the connecting module and the connector. The release portion is connected to the alignment portion having a second diameter different than the first diameter to allow the connecting module and the connector to guide the connection.
