Abstract
A slotted-rail mounting assembly for mounting an object having at least one flat surface, such as a printed circuit board, to a surface, such as the inner surface of a server or a PC enclosure. An object may be mounted to the surface using two or more slotted rail mounting assemblies. Each slotted rail mounting assembly comprises a slotted rail with slots that fit over raised brackets of a runner mounted to the surface. The slotted rail may be translated parallel to the runner in a central track formed by the runner on one side and guideposts on the other side in order to slide the slotted rail underneath the railed brackets, thus securing the slotted runner to the surface.
