Abstract
An improved planar support structure for a planar of a personal computer system is comprised of an integral structure having a plurality of connector support frames. The planar support structure is interposed between the planar and a supporting structure and securely fastened to each. Each frame surrounds the perimeter of a corresponding connector of the expansion slots on the planar. Each frame supports a connector to prevent the connector from flexing the planar when an adapter board is inserted into the connector. Additional alignment pins associated with the planar support structure improve ease of assembly during construction of the system.
