Abstract:
The technology relates to a cage configured to removably receive a module. The cage may include a frame comprising a plurality of panels joined to one another, a lever pivotably coupled to the frame, and a heatsink pivotably coupled to the lever. The panels together may extend around a longitudinal recess configured to receive the module therein. The longitudinal recess may define a longitudinal axis thereof. A first one of the panels may have an aperture defined therein in communication with the longitudinal recess. A first end of the lever may extend into the longitudinal recess. The heatsink may be pivotably coupled to a second end of the lever opposite the first end. The heatsink may be movable in a translation direction transverse to the longitudinal axis. The heatsink may be translatable between a first position outside of the longitudinal recess and a second position partially inside the longitudinal recess.
