Abstract
A printed circuit board and bulkhead assembly with I/O connectors that may be slidingly mated with a rear panel bulkhead frame of a computer chassis without removing the rear panel and without having to remove any mounting hardware. The I/O connectors are attached to the bulkhead assembly in such a manner that the I/O connectors clear the rear panel bulkhead frame when the bulkhead assembly is being slidingly mated with the rear panel bulkhead frame. The I/O connectors extend through the rear panel bulkhead frame once the bulkhead assembly is mated with the rear panel bulkhead frame. When fully installed, the bulkhead assembly and the rear panel bulkhead frame create a barrier against EMI/RFI radiation emissions escaping the computer chassis.
