ABSTRACT:
A processor support bracket is provided for mounting a processor cartridge package to a surface of a system baseboard of a personal computer. The processor support bracket includes a mounting section which is mounted to the baseboard to secure the cartridge package to the system baseboard. An end of the mounting section which is disposed adjacent to the surface of the baseboard has two spaced apart apertures which extend therethrough, transverse to the surface of the baseboard. Two slots are formed into the end of said mounting section and extend transverse to the apertures. The slots intersect the respective ones of the apertures and have widths for passing fasteners through the slots and into respective ones of the apertures for securing the mounting section to the system baseboard. The slots have profiles which define shoulders that extend transverse to respective ones of the apertures, with a respective pair of the shoulders spaced apart and facing in opposite directions adjacent to the respective ones of the apertures. The fasteners having protuberances which extend from the fasteners to define annular-shaped ribs which fit flush with the spaced apart shoulders, and between respective pairs of the spaced apart shoulders, such that the respective fasteners are retained from moving from the aperture in a direction which is transverse to the slot.
