Abstract: A heat sink support device including a base and a top member is provided to support a finned heat sink attached to a processor card assembly of a computer system. The base member includes a number of dowels disposed on a bottom surface for securing the base member to a motherboard. The base member also includes a number of necked pins disposed on a top surface, and the top member includes a number of cutouts disposed on an edge for mating with the necked pins, to render a set of the fins captive, to prevent the heat sink from moving beyond the tolerance allowed between the fins and the base and top members.

Abstract: A bracket apparatus having a plurality of protruding fingers is employed for simultaneously making contacts with the attachment brackets of add-on cards, exerting force on the attachment brackets towards the add-on cards' receiving expansion slots, thereby securing the add-on cards in place attached to the expansion slots. The system unit back panel is modified to include an additional cutout orthogonal to the traditional cutouts that allows the fingers to pass through and make contacts with the attachment brackets. Additionally, the bracket apparatus and the back panel further includes complementary fastening features to allow the bracket apparatus to be fastened to the back panel.

Abstract: A computer subassembly that includes a pair of disk drives each attached to an end of a module. The module has a printed circuit board that couples the disk drives to a single connector extending from the subassembly. The connector can be plugged into a mating connector within the computer, which provides power and allows the transmission of digital signals between the disk drives and the computer. The disk drives can be electrically and structurally coupled to the computer by merely plugging the module connector into the computer connector.
