Abstract
A retention module comprises a U-shaped bracket and a pair of retention mechanisms. The bracket includes a base portion and a pair of support portions formed at opposite ends of the base portion. The base portion defines a main slot for snugly receiving an elongate connector. Each support portion includes a lateral wall and a pair of retention walls inwardly extending from opposite edges of the lateral wall. An elongate notch is defined in each lateral wall and exposed to a top thereof. Each retention mechanism includes a body and a pair of ears. The ears are adapted to engage with the notches of the bracket thereby retaining the retention mechanism thereto. A groove is defined in a surface of the body and exposed to a bottom thereof for securing an upper corner of the CPU.
