Abstract
A strengthening member for use with a plug-in module assembly includes a planar portion which extends across a width of a portion of a circuit board of the plug-in module assembly. The planar portion has a leading edge which approximately aligns with a leading surface of the circuit board, a trailing edge, and side edges which extend between the leading edge and the trailing edge. First mounting portions extend from the side edges and have first mounting openings. A second mounting portion extends from the trailing edge and has second mounting openings. First mounting hardware is positioned in the first mounting openings. The first mounting hardware cooperates with the first mounting portions and the circuit board. Second mounting hardware is positioned in the second mounting openings. The second mounting hardware cooperates with the second mounting portions, the circuit board and a cover of the plug-in module assembly.
