A cam handle assembly for use with a modular information handling system components includes a latch with first protrusion and a second protrusion. The first protrusion is sloped such that when the sloped portion of the first protrusion contacts a portion of a rack or chassis, the latch is urged to a recessed position that will allow the cam handle to move between its closed and open position. The second protrusion on the latch is formed to engage an interface aperture that is formed in the cam handle. The interaction between the latch protrusions, the cam handle and the rack encourage proper operation of the cam handle to install an information handling system component within a rack.

What is claimed is: 1. An information handling system, comprising: a modular component configured to be inserted in the information handling system; a cam handle rotatably coupled to the modular component such that the cam handle can rotate in a first direction; a structural member separate from the modular component and cam handle; and a structural member separate from the modular component and cam handle; and a locking member coupled to the modular component and configured for movement from a first position to a second position in response to interaction between the locking member and the structural member of the information handling system as the modular component is inserted in the information handling system; wherein in the first position of the locking member, the locking member inhibits movement of the cam handle in the first direction; and wherein in the second position of the locking member, the locking member allows movement of the cam handle in the first direction. 2. An information handling system according to claim 1, wherein the cam handle is configured to rotate in the first direction from an open position to a closed position. 3. An information handling system according to claim 2, wherein the cam handle includes a locking portion configured to secure the modular member in the information handling system when the cam handle is positioned in the closed position. 4. An information handling system according to claim 1, wherein: the locking member comprises a latch; the second position of the locking member comprises a recessed position; and the first position of the locking member comprises a non-recessed position. 5. An information handling system according to claim 1, wherein: the locking member includes a first protrusion and a second protrusion; the first protrusion is configured to interact with the structural member to move the locking member from the first position to the second position; and the second protrusion is configured to inhibit movement of the cam handle in the first direction when the locking member is positioned in the first position. 6. An information handling system according to claim 1, further comprising: an opening defined by the cam handle; and a protrusion defined by the locking member; wherein, when the cam handle is positioned in an open position, the protrusion inhibits movement of cam handle to a closed position; and wherein, when the cam handle is positioned in the closed position, the protrusion protrudes into the opening defined by the cam handle. 7. An information handling system according to claim 1, wherein movement of the cam handle from a closed position toward an open position moves the locking member from the first position to the second position. 8. A cam assembly for a modular component of an information handling system, the cam assembly comprising: a cam handle configured to rotate in a first direction; and a locking member coupled to the modular component and configured for movement from a first position to a second position in response to interaction between the locking member and a structural member of an information handling system separate from the modular component and cam handle as the modular component is inserted in the information handling system and moves relative to the structural member; wherein in the first position of the locking member, the locking member inhibits movement of the cam handle in the first direction; and wherein in the second position of the locking member, the locking member allows movement of the cam handle in the first direction. 9. A cam assembly according to claim 8, wherein the cam handle is configured to rotate in the first direction from an open position to a closed position. 10. A cam assembly according to claim 9, wherein the cam handle includes a locking portion configured to secure the modular member in the information handling system when the cam handle is positioned in the closed position. 11. A cam assembly according to claim 8, wherein: the locking member comprises a latch; the second position of the locking member comprises a recessed position; and the first position of the locking member comprises a non-recessed position. 12. A cam assembly according to claim 8, wherein: the locking member includes a first protrusion and a second protrusion; the first protrusion is configured to interact with the structural member to move the locking member from the first position to the second position; and the second protrusion is configured to inhibit movement of the cam handle in the first direction when the locking member is positioned in the first position. 13. A cam assembly according to claim 8, further comprising: an opening defined by the cam handle; and a protrusion defined by the locking member; wherein, when the cam handle is positioned in an open position, the protrusion inhibits movement of cam handle to a closed position; and wherein, when the cam handle is positioned in the closed position, the protrusion protrudes into the opening defined by the cam handle. 14. A cam assembly according to claim 8, wherein movement of the cam handle from a closed position toward an open position moves the locking member from the first position to the second position. 15. A method of inserting a modular component in an information handling system, the method comprising: positioning a cam handle in an open position, the cam handle being rotatably coupled to a modular component such that the cam handle can rotate between the open position and a closed position, wherein in the open position of the cam handle, a locking member coupled to the modular component inhibits rotation of the cam handle to the closed position; moving the modular component relative to the information handling system such that the locking member interacts with a structural member of the information handling system separate from the modular component and cam handle, the interaction moving the locking member to allow rotation of the cam handle to the closed position; and when the locking member is in the second position, rotating the cam handle to the closed position. 16. A method according to claim 15, wherein rotating the cam handle to the closed position causes a locking portion of the cam handle to secure the modular member in the information handling system. 17. A method according to claim 15, wherein the locking member comprises a latch. 18. A method according to claim 15, wherein moving the locking member to allow rotation of the cam handle to the closed position comprises moving the locking member from a non-recessed position to a recessed position. 19. A method according to claim 15, further comprising fully inserting the modular component in the information handling system, wherein fully inserting the modular component causes a protrusion defined by the locking member to engage with an opening defined by the cam handle. 20. A method according to claim 15, further comprising rotating the cam handle from the closed position to the open position, wherein rotating the cam handle from the closed position to the open position moves the locking member from a non-recessed position to a recessed position
