Abstract
Removeable couplings are provided for connecting a memory module to a host processor of an IHS (Information Handling System). The coupling includes electrical contacts and fasteners for positioning the electrical contacts within an empty memory slot of the IHS motherboard. The housing extends between two ends of the coupling and receives the memory module when the memory module is installed in the IHS. The positioned electrical contacts are then seated within the memory slot of the motherboard by the downward force applied by an administrator in installing the memory module to the coupling. The force applied in installing the memory module also serves to connect the electrical contacts of the coupling to a memory channel of the motherboard. The removeable coupling is not attached to the motherboard when the memory module is not installed in the IHS, thus eliminating signal stubs in the memory channel.
