  • Patent number: 6556440
    Abstract: A computer includes a chassis and a motherboard mounted in the chassis. A baseplate is mounted adjacent the motherboard. A plurality of dividers are mounted on the baseplate and extend therefrom. The dividers are substantially equally spaced apart in a substantially parallel relationship. The baseplate includes a first substantially planar section and a second substantially planar section. The first and second planar sections extend along respective first and second planes. The first plane is spaced apart from the second plane. A ventilated ramp extends between the first and second planar sections. The ramp directs an airflow path from a first side of the first planar section to a second side of the second planar section.
    Type: Grant

  • Patent number: 6424527
    Abstract: A computer board support apparatus includes an elongated one-piece body having opposite terminal ends attached to a first side of a computer board. The bracket includes a plurality of spaced apart arms extending between the terminal ends and a plurality of locking support feet extending from the body adjacent the arms. A plurality of spaced apart brackets are mounted on a second side of the board opposite the first side. A plurality of fasteners extend through the terminal ends of the body, through the board and engage the brackets for securing the apparatus to the board. A microprocess is mounted on the board between the brackets. A heatsink is mounted on the brackets and in contact with the microprocessor for transferring heat from the microprocessor.
