Abstract
A test system for testing memory modules uses vertically-mounted personal computer (PC) motherboards. Many test adaptor boards that contain test sockets for testing memory modules are mounted horizontally across a test bench. Each test adaptor board connects to a motherboard that tests the memory modules in the test sockets. The motherboard is mounted below and perpendicularly to the test adaptor board. The motherboard is modified to extend the memory bus to edge contact pads along an edge of the motherboard. An edge socket on the test adaptor board mates with the edge contact pads to make electrical connection. A robotic arm inserts a memory module into the test socket, allowing the vertically-mounted motherboard to execute programs to test the memory module.
