1. An apparatus comprising:
a shaft;
an arm extending radially from the shaft;
a plurality of sets of paddles disposed along the shaft, each set of paddles rotating with rotation of the shaft and including a trigger paddle extending radially from the shaft and a locking paddle extending radially from the shaft; and
a bracket configured to constrain rotation of the arm about a shaft axis such that rotation of the shaft about the shaft axis is constrained to rotation between first and second shaft positions, wherein, when the shaft is affixed to a rack such that the shaft rotates about an axis that is perpendicular to a direction of insertion or removal of a device into or from a device slot:
when the shaft is in the first shaft position, each locking paddle of the plurality of locking paddles extends toward an associated device slot; and
when the shaft is rotated from the first shaft position to the second shaft position, each locking paddle is rotated away from the associated device slot and each trigger paddle is rotated to extend toward the associated device slot.
