Apparatus for extracting and inserting a DIMM

A system comprising:

• a motherboard;
• a plurality of electrical connectors surface mounted to the motherboard, each electrical connector including a connector body configured to receive and electrically connect an electrical module;
• a tool device releasably mountable to opposing sides defining the electrical module, the tool device including;
• a pair of frame members having a friction fit feature for attachment to the opposing sides defining the electrical module;
• and
• a sliding plane translatable between the pair of frame members,
• wherein upward translation of the sliding plane relative to the fixed pair of frame members acts to release latches on the electrical connector to extract the electrical module from the electrical connector upon upward translation of the pair of frame members, and downward translation of the sliding plane relative to the fixed pair of frame members acts to transfer a force to the electrical module, thereby inserting the electrical module with the electrical connector;
• and
• a tool guide having two members opposing each other, each member including a plurality of slots, each configured to guide a respective edge of the tool device therethrough for alignment with the electrical connector.
