Abstract
A computer chassis includes a circuit board. A locating clip is mounted on the circuit board. The clip includes a first planar portion having a first fastener opening. A circuit board gripping leg extends from a terminal end of the first planar portion and is inserted into a receiver slot in the circuit board. A second portion of the clip is connected to extend from the first clip portion at an angular disposition. The second clip portion has a fastener portion including a second fastener opening. A fastener advanced through the first and second fastener openings, through the board and into the chassis, urges the first planar portion and the board to move relative to the second clip portion and the fastener.
