Abstract: A slotted-rail mounting assembly for mounting an object having at least one flat surface, such as a printed circuit board, to a surface, such as the inner surface of a server or a PC enclosure. An object may be mounted to the surface using two or more slotted rail mounting assemblies. Each slotted rail mounting assembly comprises a slotted rail with slots that fit over raised brackets of a runner mounted to the surface. The slotted rail may be translated parallel to the runner in a central track formed by the runner on one side and guideposts on the other side in order to slide the slotted rail underneath the railed brackets, thus securing the slotted runner to the surface.

Abstract: A processor retention frame and incorporated processor extraction handle is described herein. The frame is fabricated from a single piece of sheet metal, holds two processor cards securely, and is easily mounted on the main system board. The extractor handle allows the easy removal of processor cards from the main system board and frame without exerting excessive force on the main system board or the processor board.
