Abstract
A network device including a module. A chassis supports the module. A lever is secured to an enclosure of the module by a pivot. In one embodiment a pivot axis of the lever is parallel to a major axis of the module. In another embodiment the enclosure includes a clearance through which a portion of a lever from an adjacent module may pass. In another embodiment the lever includes a handle portion and a claw portion. A portion of the handle defines a first plane, the claw defines a second plane, and the first and second planes are parallel and spaced from one another. In another embodiment at least part of the claw portion protrudes outward from an envelope of the module enclosure.
