A spring-loaded assembly for coupling a connector to a computer component includes an assembly housing operable to receive a portion of a screw used to couple the connector to a chassis of an information handling system. The assembly further includes a sliding block disposed in the assembly housing and operably engaged with the screw. The sliding block is operable to move the connector between a first position and a second position. The assembly further includes a spring placed between the sliding block and at least one wall of the assembly housing. The spring operably provides an axial force to bias the connector to a first position, whereby coupling the connector to the computer component causes the connector to move to a connected position intermediate the first and second position.

Spring-loaded assembly for a connector

A computer includes a chassis having a stop member and an alignment member extending adjacent the stop member. A first component cavity is defined in the cavity on a first side of the stop member and a second component cavity is defined in the cavity on a second side of the stop member. A backplane is mounted on the alignment member whereby the first and second component cavities are separated. A component sub-chassis is slidably mounted in one of the first and second component cavities.
