Abstract
In one embodiment, a locking mechanism comprises: a lever-arm-component coupled to a first side of an module and a second side of the module that opposes the first side; the lever-arm-component rotates about a first axis; first and second latching-arm-components including latching-hooks, the first latching-arm-component coupled to the lever-arm-component on the first side and rotating about a second axis that run parallel to and offset from the first axis; the second latching-arm-component coupled to the lever-arm-component on the second side and rotating about the second axis; and a secondary fastener. The first and second axes are oriented in an over-center configuration such that when the lever-arm-component is rotated about the first axis from a first to second position, the second axis will pass through a locking axis and the latching-hooks apply a force against a mechanism of the enclosure that presses the module against a heat sink of the enclosure.
