Abstract

Devices and methods include a component module configured for installation into a server. The component module includes a frame configured for installation in an installation direction. A component platform is movably coupled to the frame and movable between interfaced and decoupled positions. In one example, a component actuator arm extends between first and second actuator ends. A hinge rotatably couples the component actuator arm to the frame and is remote from the first actuator end, and the component actuator arm is rotatably coupled to the component platform at a joint, wherein the component actuator arm is movable between a decoupled configuration and an interfaced configuration. In the decoupled configuration, the component platform is in the decoupled position and recessed relative to the interfaced position. In the interfaced configuration, the component actuator arm is rotated relative to the decoupled configuration, and the component platform is laterally moved into the interfaced position relative to the installation direction by the component actuator arm.
