1. A modular serviceability sled for an apparatus, the modular serviceability sled comprising:
a frame;
a first subassembly attached to the frame;
a first sled interconnection operatively connected to the first subassembly, the first sled interconnection including an electrical connection, a pneumatic connection, a hydraulic connection, or any combination thereof;
a gasket configured to engage the frame and a base assembly of the apparatus; and
a shielding component configured to contact the frame and the base assembly of the apparatus, the shielding component including an electromagnetic interference shielding component, a radio frequency interference shielding component, or both the electromagnetic interference shielding component and the radio frequency interference shielding component, wherein
the modular serviceability sled is configured to be moved between an engaged state and a disengaged state,
in the engaged state, the modular serviceability sled is at least partially within a receiving space of the apparatus, the gasket engages the frame and the base assembly, the shielding component contacts the frame and the base assembly, and the first sled interconnection is operatively connected to a first machine interconnection of the apparatus, and
in the disengaged state, the first sled interconnection is disconnected from the first machine interconnection and the modular serviceability sled is configured to be freely moved with respect to the base assembly.
