Type

Physical object

Description

This object consists of a heavy metal frame that is slightly wider than an SDS module. Attached with screws on each side of this frame is a bracket that contains a pin that is spaced exactly the same width as the two holes on the extraction corners of the SDS boards. Two holes are drilled through the frame just outside the width of an SDS module that are partially threaded.

When the pins are inserted into the holes in the module, pulling on the handle extracts it. Bolts can be screwed into the threaded holes to press against the frame of the card cage if more pulling power is needed.
