Abstract
A securing mechanism includes a connector latch and a module latch such that engagement of the connector latch with a connector causes the module latch to engage a housing support. The securing mechanism prevents removal of a module from a housing support when a connector, such as on a power cable, is engaged by the connector latch. The connector latch has a position adjustment mechanism, engageable by an external tool, that controls the position of the connector latch. A tool is used to position the connector latch and allow the insertion or removal of the connector.
