ABSTRACT:
A circuit board module has a circuit board which includes a circuit board structure and a set of components mounted to the circuit board structure. The circuit board module further includes a set of heatsinks (i.e., one or more heatsinks) and a heatsink retaining assembly fastened to the circuit board. The heatsink retaining assembly includes (i) a set of brackets, each bracket being elongated in shape and having a first end and a second end, (ii) a frame, and (iii) a fastening mechanism configured to fasten the frame to a circuit board. The frame is configured to simultaneously hold the first and second ends of each bracket relative to the circuit board to enable that bracket to assert holding force on the set of heatsinks.
