Rail clamp latch holder

A rail system, comprising:

• a chassis defining a space into and from which a processor drawer comprising bosses is installable and removable;
• rails coupled to the chassis and comprising:
• a body defining a groove into which a corresponding boss is receivable,
• a rail latch translatable relative to the body to assume and move between a closed position at which the rail latch prevents boss movement relative to the groove and an open position at which the rail latch permits boss movement relative to the groove;
• and
• an elastic element disposed to urge the rail latch toward the closed position;
• and
• a rail clamp latch holder which is attachable to each of the rails and configured to move and maintain a corresponding rail latch into and in the open position,
• wherein the rail clamp latch holder comprises a grippable portion and a rail portion disposed at a forward side of the grippable portion and comprising:
• first and second pairs of opposed latches which are configured to latch onto each of the rails and which are disposed at first and second longitudinal ends of the rail portion, respectively;
• a tab which is insertable into the corresponding rail latch;
• a locking pin which is receivable in a rail through-hole of the rail;
• and
• an elastic member which extends along a longitudinal axis of the rail portion and elastically couples the locking pin and the tab.

A processor drawer manipulation method, comprising:

• press-fitting a rail clamp latch holder onto a rail of a chassis, wherein the press-fitting comprises:
• inserting a tab of the rail clamp latch holder into a rail latch;
• and
• elastically urging a locking pin of the rail clamp latch holder against the rail;
• sliding the rail clamp latch holder along the rail such that the tab urges the rail latch to translate toward an open position in opposition to a bias applied thereto;
• and
• continuing the sliding until the locking pin reaches a rail through-hole into which the locking pin is elastically urged such that the rail latch is maintained in the open position in opposition to the bias applied thereto.
