Abstract
An example module is provided herein. The module includes a tray and a cable support member. The tray includes a cage, a handle mechanism, a tray handle, and a tray midplane. The cage receives an electronic component and the handle mechanism rotates the cage using a cage lever and a cam member between a closed position, a top open position, and a bottom open position. The tray handle releases the tray from an engaged position. The tray midplane provides a connector for the electronic component. The cable support member provides a movable connection between the tray midplane and an enclosure backplane.
