Abstract
A portable computer system includes a chassis and a circuit board mounted in an elevated position on mounts provided within the chassis. A space is defined between the board and the chassis and a hard disc drive is mounted on the board. A shock absorbing member extends in the space between the board and the chassis and is spaced from the mounts for limiting flexure of the board toward the chassis in response to impact from forces acting on the computer.
