A locking mechanism for a computing device controls movement of a removable module within a computer chassis. The locking mechanism comprises a lock pin, a head, and a spring stopper. The lock pin includes an elongated shaft and a head. The spring stopper is disposed on the elongated shaft. The spring is disposed about the elongated shaft such that the spring extends from the spring stopper toward an end of the elongated shaft. As the lock pin moves along a longitudinal axis of the elongated shaft from a first position to a second position, the spring is configured to compress between the spring stopper and a fixed bracket in the computer chassis. The opposite second end extends through a hole in the removable module, thereby preventing the removable module from being removed from the computer chassis.
