Abstract
A securing device for attaching a heat sink to a vertically mounted CPU module comprises a pair of abutting members, a pair of engaging brackets, and a pair of sleeves. The heat sink defines two grooves between cooling elements extending from a base thereof and a hole through the base of the heat sink at the bottom of each groove for receiving a first end of the corresponding abutting member. Each engaging bracket is formed with a base, two extension portions extending from opposite distal ends of the base, a curved resilient claw extending from an end of each extension portion for engaging with openings defined in the CPU module, and a hole defined in the base for receiving a second end of each abutting member. Each sleeve engages with the second end of the corresponding abutting member and a jig can be used to facilitate the insertion of the claws into the corresponding openings of the CPU whereby the heat sink is firmly secured to the CPU module.
