Abstract: A PC board ejector assembly is provided for disengaging a first PC board from a second PC board in a computer chassis. The PC boards each includes at least one connector for connecting the first PC board to the second PC board. The chassis includes a divider wall. The PC board ejector assembly includes a mounting bracket positioned on at least one of the first and the second PC boards, and a disengagement member coupled to the mounting bracket. The mounting bracket is positioned on the PC board such that movement of the disengagement member engages the member against the divider wall to disengage the PC board connectors from one another and permit removal of at least one of the PC boards. A method for disengaging a PC board including a PC board ejector assembly from a chassis is also provided.

Abstract: A circuit board retaining assembly for coupling a component to a chassis without concern for the loss of mounting hardware, such as for coupling computer hardware to a computer chassis, and for doing so particularly when the component is in operation. The retaining assembly includes a mounting bracket for mounting the assembly to the chassis, a lever extending from the mounting bracket, and a lever biasing member for pivotally biasing the lever away from the chassis when the component is installed in or removed from the chassis. The mounting bracket includes at least one lever opening for receiving the lever. The lever includes a first end for releasably coupling the component to the chassis. The lever-biasing member is disposed between the mounting bracket and the lever to bias the lever away from the chassis when it is disengaged from the chassis.
