Abstract
Various embodiments of the present invention are directed to a printed circuit board assembly having a circuit board with opposing side edges and an open frame housing that has first and second parallel elongated mounting frames extending along the respective side edges of the circuit board. Each mounting frame has an elongated body portion forming a channel extending the length of the body, the channel serving to nest one of the side edges of the circuit board. The body of each mounting frame has one or more sets of orthogonally disposed, intersecting mounting holes that permit use of mounting holes to accommodate screws for attaching the mounting frames in a rack frame of a host system so that the circuit board is optionally supported in a side attached mode or in a bottom attached mode.
