Apparatus for aligning device interconnections

An apparatus for aligning device interconnections of a plurality of electronic devices comprising:

• a structure having at least one reference plane, said structure further including a plurality of device bays;
• at least one interconnect assembly, operatively associated with said structure, for accepting connections from said plurality of electronic devices;
• at least one clamp, operatively associated with said structure, for fixing said at least one interconnect assembly in fixed spatial relation to said reference plane;
• clamp release, operatively associated with said structure, for releasing said at least one clamp so that said at least one interconnect assembly is free to move with respect to said reference plane;
• and
• positioning guide, operatively associated with said structure, for positioning said at least one interconnect assembly at an appropriate location with respect to said reference plane for proper alignment while said clamp is released, before again being clamped in a fixed position with respect to said reference plane, said interconnect assembly then being held in fixed alignment for reception of connections from said plurality of electronic devices.
