Abstract

A computer system including a chassis having a number of PCB support structures affixed thereon is disclosed. The PCB support structures are configured to support a PCB of one of a number of pre-determined lengths, employing one of a number of subset combinations of the PCB support structures. However, a constant predefined total number of fasteners is employed regardless of the length of the PCB.
