Abstract
An apparatus is described that includes a body having a pivot surface that extends along a first end of the body and a plurality of lever arms arranged linearly along the pivot surface and that project from the pivot surface such that a geometry of the pivot surface and the plurality of lever arms facilitate removal of a bridge board from a computing component assembly by causing at least one of the plurality of lever arms to contact an underside of the bridge board.
Claims24
A tool, comprising:
- a body having a pivot surface;
- and
- a plurality of lever arms arranged linearly along the pivot surface, wherein each of the plurality of lever arms is formed such that the body forms an acute angle of engagement with a computing component assembly by contacting a structural surface of a component housing in which at least one circuit board is contained.
An apparatus, comprising:
- a body comprising a pivot surface that extends along a first end of the body;
- and
- a plurality of lever arms arranged linearly along the pivot surface and that project from the pivot surface such that a geometry of the pivot surface and the plurality of lever arms facilitate removal of a bridge board from a computing component assembly by causing at least one of the plurality of lever arms to contact an underside of the bridge board.
A bridge board removal process, comprising:
- (a) pivotably engaging a tool body with a structural surface of at least one component housing, wherein the tool body forms an acute angle relative to the structural surface;
- (b) inserting a plurality of lever arms into gaps between adjacent component housings to access an underside of the bridge board;
- and
- (c) contacting a distal end of the lever arms with the underside of the bridge board to urge the bridge board from the at least one component housing.
