ABSTRACT:
A retention mechanism for retaining a CPU module includes a base with two spaced side walls formed on each end thereof and trunnions transversely extending therefrom. A pair of retention arms each forming a channel for receiving an edge of the CPU module has two lateral walls fit over the side walls at opposite ends of the base. Each lateral wall of the retention arm defines a pivot hole for pivotally receiving the corresponding trunnion therein thereby rendering the retention arm pivotal with respect to the base between an expanded position wherein the retention mechanism forms a U-shaped configuration for accommodating the CPU module and a folded position wherein the retention arm substantially overlaps the base for conserving space. Each end of the base forms at least one projection for selectively engaging with a first recess and a second recess defined in the corresponding lateral wall of the retention arm for releasably fixing the retention arm at the expanded position and the folded position.
