Abstract
A technique connects a module to a connector. The technique involves inserting the module into a connector base of the connector, and moving a first connector lever of the connector against the module and a second connector lever of the connector against the module. The technique further involves installing a clip onto the connector such that the clip provides a first force on the first connector lever and a second force on the second connector lever to hold the module to the connector. The presence of the clip prevents the connector levers from moving away from the module (e.g., separating from the module sides) and allowing the module to escape from the connector.
