    Patent number: 6403879
    Abstract: An electronic device has a chassis having a plurality of structural members with slots located therebetween. The slots serve as conduits between electronic components located within the electronic device and peripheral devices. The structural members are folded to provide reinforcement. The reinforcement allows the structural members to be relatively small and to have a plurality of ventilation holes formed therein. A gasket is placed between the chassis and the electronic components to attenuate EMI passing through the chassis. The gasket has a plurality of tabs formed thereon that serve to bias the gasket against the electronic components and to electrically connect the electronic devices to the chassis.
