Abstract

Automatically engaging and disengaging PCB modules with computing systems includes: receiving, from a computing system and by a printed circuit board (PCB) module, an instruction to disengage the PCB module from the computing system, where the PCB module is coupled to the computing system via a PCB connector included in the PCB module; and triggering, based on the instruction, an automatic latching actuation, where the automatic latching actuation includes: operating one or more rotational actuators included within the PCB module to operate one or more latches coupled to the PCB module, which in turn exert force against a fixed surface of the computing system to linearly unplug the PCB connector from the computing system.
