Abstract: For retaining a heatsink in contact with a processor on a board, a plurality of spaced apart mounting studs are mounted on the board. Each mounting stud includes a pivotally mounted resilient arm and a catch. A pair of the studs are positioned such that the resilient arm of one of the studs pivots to extend to engage the resilient arm catch of an adjacent one of the studs.

Abstract: A component electrical coupling apparatus includes a board comprising a first surface and a second surface located opposite the first surface. A first surface mount technology connector is coupled to the first surface of the board. A second surface mount technology connector is coupled to the second surface of the board and located immediately opposite the first surface mount technology connector, the second surface mount technology connector operable to couple to a different type of connector than the first surface mount technology connector. The component electrical coupling apparatus may be coupled to a component and to an information handling system to allow the component having a connector to be coupled to an information handling system having a different type of connector than the component.

Abstract: A chassis having a pivotable bracket is disclosed. The bracket pivots between an up position to permit an internal cable to be coupled to the bracket and pivots to a down position to form a hood for the passage of heated air into the interior of the computer system. When a component is inserted in the computer system, the component contacts the bracket and forces the bracket to move from the up position to the down position.

Abstract: An adjustable heat sink shroud includes an insert that may be included within the interior of the heat sink shroud depending on the size of the heat sink enclosed within the shroud. The presence of the insert directs the flow of air through the heat sink.
