  • Patent number: 8873240
    Abstract: An information handling system motherboard overlaps a component with a mezzanine card to provide additional room for components to couple to the motherboard. A mezzanine card bracket holds the mezzanine card in a parallel configuration over the motherboard. The mezzanine card bracket includes a rotating portion that supports the mezzanine card in a closed position and rotates to an open position to allow access to components disposed on the motherboard beneath the rotating portion, such as a memory module that is partially covered by the mezzanine card when the mezzanine card is installed on the mezzanine card bracket support surface.
