Abstract
In one embodiment, a biasing device is actuated using an actuator which is aligned with the biasing device along an alignment axis. A first frame is thereby biased toward a second frame along the alignment axis to bias an integrated circuit package toward a socket. The actuator also latches the first and second frames together and biased towards each other with the integrated circuit package and the socket biased toward each other. Other aspects and features are also described.
