Abstract
A computer chassis includes a hook extending from a chassis surface. A component board is mounted in the chassis so that the hook extends through a slot in the board. A pair of grounding clips are surface mounted on the board on opposite sides of the slot so that a retainer portion of each clip engages opposite surfaces of the hook. The retainer portions have an opening for surface mounting the clips on the board by a pick-and-place vacuum workpiece.
