An information handling system bay accepts plural communication carriers having storage communication support, such as in compliance with OCP3.0. The communication carrier has a support structure to support processing components, such as a network interface controller coupled to a printed circuit board, and coupled within the bay by a latch having a member extending from one end to engage the bay housing and latching an opposite chamfered end with a pin coupled to a spring loaded button. A press on the button away from the latch releases the chamfered end from the pin so support structure member is free from the housing bay to remove the communication carrier.

A gear train side latching mechanism may include a bracket having one or more guiding features, a handle mechanically coupled to the bracket via the one or more guiding features such that the handle is linearly movable with respect to the bracket, a rack mechanically coupled to the handle comprising a first plurality of gear teeth and configured to move linearly relative to the bracket in a fixed relation to the handle, a driving gear rotatably coupled to the bracket and comprising a compound circular spur gear having a second plurality of gear teeth on an outer diameter of the driving gear and a third plurality of gear teeth on an inner diameter of the driving gear, wherein the second plurality of gear teeth are mechanically coupled to the first plurality of gear teeth, and an actuator gear rotatably coupled to the bracket and comprising a fourth plurality of gear teeth mechanically coupled to the third plurality of gear teeth and further comprising one or more features configured to engage with a corresponding engagement feature of a mechanical member. The gear train side latching mechanism may be arranged such that linear motion of the handle relative to the bracket transmits mechanical energy to the actuator gear via the rack and the driving gear to cause the actuator gear to mechanically interact with the engagement feature to transmit mechanical energy to the engagement feature.
