Abstract

An I/O shield bracket for an I/O window of a computer system chassis. The I/O shield bracket includes mechanisms for reducing electromagnetic radiation that emanates from the edge of the I/O shield bracket and the edge of the I/O window. In one embodiment, the I/O shield bracket includes an embossed portion that resides next to the edge of the I/O window. In another embodiment, the I/O shield bracket includes shield tabs that overlap an I/O window ledge surrounding the I/O window. An I/O gasket made of an electrically conductive material may be mounted to the I/O shield bracket to provide shielding between the I/O shield bracket and I/O connectors. The I/O shield bracket may include snap fingers for removably attaching the I/O shield bracket to a computer system chassis.
