Abstract
A multichip module subassembly is disclosed which provides for a heatsink, a thermal interface, a module cap upon which a multichip module is mounted, a land grid array interposer, and an assembly cover. The module cap has shimmed load posts and adjustable brackets for precise alignment and loading of the interposer onto the module. The cover may have a springplate for precise preloading of the interposer onto the multichip module for transportation. The multichip module subassembly is easily used as a field replaceable unit.
