Abstract
The present invention comprises a shim assembly for supporting a hardware module flush with a bottom side of a printed circuit board. A bottom side of the shim assembly is attached to a top side of the printed circuit board and generally conforms to the shape of a slot in the printed circuit board into which the hardware module is inserted. The shim assembly is of sufficient thickness to fill a gap between the hardware module and the top side of the printed circuit board such that the hardware module does not materially extend past a bottom side of the printed circuit board when inserted in the slot.
