A latch apparatus may include an L-shaped latch coupled to a frame such that a proximal end of the L-shaped latch secures a computing component to a printed circuit board. The latch apparatus may also include a pivot point coupled to a bend of the L-shaped latch to facilitate a rotation of the L-shaped latch around the pivot point within the frame. In addition, the latch apparatus may include a spring coupled to the frame to exert a force on the rotation of the L-shaped latch toward a locked position. Various other apparatuses, systems, and methods are also disclosed.

1. A latch apparatus comprising: an L-shaped latch coupled to a frame such that a proximal end of the L-shaped latch secures a computing component to a printed circuit board;a pivot point coupled to a bend of the L-shaped latch to facilitate a rotation of the L-shaped latch around the pivot point within the frame; anda spring coupled to the frame to exert a force on the rotation of the L-shaped latch toward a locked position by exerting a force against a protrusion of the L-shaped latch to maintain the locked position of the L-shaped latch. 2. The latch apparatus of claim 1, wherein the frame at least: is coupled to the printed circuit board by an anchor; orcomprises a protruding part of the printed circuit board. 3. The latch apparatus of claim 1, wherein the proximal end of the L-shaped latch comprises a hook that surrounds a portion of the computing component to force the computing component toward the printed circuit board. 4. The latch apparatus of claim 1, wherein the pivot point facilitates the rotation of the L-shaped latch such that: a position of the pivot point prohibits an unintentional rotation of the L-shaped latch;a downward force on the proximal end of the L-shaped latch exerts an upward rotation of a distal end of the L-shaped latch; anda downward force on the distal end of the L-shaped latch exerts an upward rotation of the proximal end of the L-shaped latch. 5. The latch apparatus of claim 4, wherein the downward force on the proximal end of the L-shaped latch rotates the distal end of the L-shaped latch to exert a force upward to lift the computing component away from the printed circuit board. 6. The latch apparatus of claim 4, wherein a downward force applied to the computing component toward the distal end of the L-shaped latch locks the L-shaped latch. 7. The latch apparatus of claim 1, wherein the spring is coupled to a pin inserted through the frame. 8. The latch apparatus of claim 1, wherein the protrusion is extended from an outer surface of the L-shaped latch such that the protrusion slides past the spring as the L-shaped latch rotates around the pivot point. 9. A data-center rack comprising: a rack dimensioned to hold computer hardware;at least one chassis coupled to the rack that contains at least one printed circuit board;at least one computing component coupled to the printed circuit board; andat least one latch apparatus, comprising an L-shaped latch and a spring exerting a force against a protrusion of the L-shaped latch to maintain a locked position of the latch apparatus, coupled to the printed circuit board to secure the computing component to the printed circuit board. 10. The data-center rack of claim 9, wherein the chassis is dimensioned to slide perpendicular to a face of the rack such that the chassis extends away from the rack to expose the printed circuit board. 11. The data-center rack of claim 9, wherein the latch apparatus comprises: a frame;the L-shaped latch coupled to the frame;a pivot point coupled to a bend of the L-shaped latch; andthe spring coupled to the frame. 12. The data-center rack of claim 11, wherein a proximal end of the L-shaped latch surrounds a portion of the computing component to force the computing component toward the chassis. 13. The data-center rack of claim 12, wherein the pivot point facilitates a rotation of the L-shaped latch such that: a position of the pivot point prohibits an unintentional rotation of the L-shaped latch;a downward force on the proximal end of the L-shaped latch rotates a distal end of the L-shaped latch to exert a force upward to lift the computing component away from the chassis; anda downward force applied to the computing component toward the distal end of the L-shaped latch rotates the L-shaped latch toward the locked position. 14. The data-center rack of claim 11, wherein the spring: is coupled to a pin inserted through the frame; andexerts a force against a protrusion of the L-shaped latch to prevent a rotation of the L-shaped latch. 15. The data-center rack of claim 14, wherein the protrusion is extended from an outer surface of the L-shaped latch such that the protrusion slides past the spring as the L-shaped latch rotates around the pivot point. 16. A method comprising: coupling an L-shaped latch to a frame such that a proximal end of the L-shaped latch secures a computing component to a printed circuit board;coupling a pivot point to a bend of the L-shaped latch to facilitate a rotation of the L-shaped latch around the pivot point within the frame; andcoupling a spring to the frame to exert a force on the rotation of the L-shaped latch toward a locked position by dimensioning the spring to exert a force against a protrusion of the L-shaped latch to maintain the locked position of the L-shaped latch. 17. The method of claim 16, wherein the proximal end of the L-shaped latch comprises a hook that surrounds a portion of the computing component to force the computing component toward the printed circuit board. 18. The method of claim 16, wherein coupling the pivot point, to the bend of the L-shaped latch comprises facilitating the rotation of the L-shaped latch such that: a position of the pivot point prohibits an unintentional rotation of the L-shaped latch;a downward force on the proximal end of the L-shaped latch exerts an upward rotation of a distal end of the L-shaped latch; anda downward force on the distal end of the L-shaped latch exerts an upward rotation of the proximal end of the L-shaped latch. 19. The method of claim 16, wherein coupling the spring to the frame comprises coupling the spring to a pin inserted through the frame. 20. The method of claim 16, further comprising extending the protrusion from an outer surface of the L-shaped latch such that the protrusion slides past the spring as the L-shaped latch rotates around the pivot point.
