User interface enhanced storage sled handle with embedded security features

A method for assembling a latch for securing a compute sled into a chassis, the method comprising:

• selecting a body for maintaining a user manipulable control, the body being mountable to a drawer of the compute sled, the user manipulable control comprising a cam disk incorporated against the backside of a slider, the user manipulable control causes the slider to one of engage and disengage a deadbolt with a sleeve that wraps around sides and bottom of the drawer, where the latch further engages a retention element of the chassis;
• and installing the user manipulable control and the slider within the body;
• mounting a pull handle to the body and affixing the pull handle to the body by a pin that provides a hinge about which the pull handle rotates, wherein the pull handle facilitates pulling of the drawer from the sleeve when the deadbolt is disengaged from the sleeve, wherein rotating the pull handle adjusts positioning of a flange that extends laterally from the pull handle and causes a flag to rotate in a rearward direction, which causes the retention element to disengage from an engagement element.

An information handling system (IHS) comprising:

• a compute sled that mounts within a chassis of a rack unit, the sled comprising at least one component of the IHS disposed therein;
• and
• a latch that secures the compute sled into the chassis, the latch comprising a body with a user manipulable control, the body providing mounting to a drawer of the compute sled, the user manipulable control comprising a cam disk that adjusts a slider upwardly and downwardly according to rotation of the user manipulable control, and the cam disk rotates to cause the slider to engage and disengage a deadbolt with a sleeve that wraps around sides and bottom of the drawer, the latch further configured for engaging a retention element of the chassis, and the latch further comprising a pull handle mounted to the body and fixed to the body by a pin that provides a hinge about which the pull handle rotates, wherein the pull handle facilitates pulling of the drawer from the sleeve when the deadbolt is disengaged from the sleeve, wherein rotating the pull handle adjusts positioning of a flange that extends laterally from the pull handle and causes a flag to rotate in a rearward direction, which causes the retention element to disengage from an engagement element.
