A method and a tool assembly for engaging and disengaging a cardlet housing electronic components from a computer environment. The cardlet, in a preferred embodiment is a dual in-line memory module (DIMM) cardlet. The tool comprises a carrier having a handle on one end and a plurality of retention features and engaging members on an opposing side. The carrier release mechanism is secured to the carrier and the engaging members such that activating the carrier release mechanism moves the engaging members from a first to a second position such that engagement and disengagement of the carrier and said cardlet housing electronic components can be achieved. In addition, a removable latch release member is also secured to the carrier, the release member having a durable tip for engaging and disengaging latches on the computer cardlet without damaging the cardlet or its surrounding sensitive components.

A lockout mechanism for a card assembly having a blind connection to an electronic component includes a card disposed in a housing and articulable in the housing in a direction substantially perpendicular to a direction of insertion of the card assembly into the electronic component, the card including a connector having connection fingers extending substantially in said direction. A lockout is disposed in the housing, the lockout movable in a direction perpendicular to the card between a first or locked position and a second or unlocked position, and preventing articulation of the card unless the one or more connection fingers are aligned with one or more corresponding component fingers in the electronic component. An alignment feature is included, that when brought into contact with a corresponding portion of the electronic component ensures proper alignment between the one or more connection fingers and one or more corresponding component fingers.
