ABSTRACT:
Electrical grounding is provided for an optional device in a computer system, and a gap of varying width adjacent to the device is filled with a conductive shield, by means of a flexible grounding spring having a folded central section from which tabs extend in one direction to contact a conductive surface of the device and in the opposite direction to contact a conductive surface of the machine framework. This grounding spring is held by means of a mounting bracket having a slot through which the folded central section extends to be held in place by locking tabs formed in this section.
