Abstract
An ejector assembly for securing a modular assembly in a chassis is disclosed. The ejector assembly comprises a cam rotatably mounted to the modular assembly such that the cam may be rotated about a first axis, the cam having a control member configured to extend into a recess in the chassis when the cam is rotated into a locked position and be retracted from the recess when the cam is rotated into a retracted position; and a lever rotatably mounted to the modular assembly such that the lever may be rotated about a second axis substantially parallel to the first axis, the lever being configured to cause the cam to be rotated about the first axis when a force is applied to the lever to rotate the lever about the second axis, whereby the cam may be rotated into either the locked position or the retracted position by operating the lever.
