Abstract

See full text

An equipment rack includes a shelf and a backplane which supports and receives an electronic module having a rear connector. The backplane includes a complementary connector for engaging the rear connector along an insertion axis. An extraction tool is coupled to the shelf and to the module for disengaging the rear connector from the complementary connector while producing an extraction force having a first component substantially along the insertion axis and a second component substantially perpendicular to the insertion axis. A hold-down bracket is coupled to the module and slidably engages the shelf to counteract the second component of the extraction force until the rear connector disengages from the complementary connector and thus avoids upward movement of the module.
