Abstract
A chassis assembly and method for including a component carrier in an electronic device. The assembly may include a carrier for housing a component for integration into the system. The carrier includes a frame constructed to at least partially contain the electronic portions of the component. A handle is pivotally coupled to the frame. The handle may rotate between an engaging orientation and a securing orientation. A pinion portion is included on the handle. The pinion portion may engage with a corresponding rack formed in the chassis to control movement of the carrier with respect to the chassis. A securing mechanism is disposed on an end of the handle opposite the pinion portion. The securing mechanism may be implemented to secure the handle in a securing orientation wherein the end of the handle, generally opposite the pinion portion, is disposed adjacent the frame. A securing mechanism such as a latch may be included to prevent rotation of the handle with respect to the frame.
