Apparatus and method of activating a switch with a circuit board ejector

A method of activating a switch with a circuit board ejector comprising the steps of:

• providing a circuit board, a switch assembly including the switch for transitioning the circuit board from a first mode to a second mode and vice versa, the switch assembly attached to the circuit board, the switch assembly further including a housing member mounted to the circuit board adjacent to the switch, a switch activation member operatively attached to the housing member to allow the switch activation member to be positioned in an open position and a closed position, the circuit board ejector rotatably attached to the circuit board to allow the circuit board to be positioned in an unlatched position and a latched position, the circuit board ejector including a hook portion and a bracket arm;
• rotating the circuit board ejector from the unlatched position to the latched position;
• contacting the circuit board ejector against the switch assembly;
• activating the switch;
• and
• transitioning the circuit board from the second mode to the first mode.
