Abstract
A method of implementing zero stub serial termination component mounting in an information handling system includes providing a first and second serial terminator option. The first serial terminator option includes a first pad and a second pad on a circuit board. The second serial terminator option is perpendicular to the first serial terminator option on the circuit board. The second serial terminator option includes a third pad and shares the second pad with the first serial terminator option on the circuit board. One of the first serial terminator option and second serial terminator option are adapted for receiving a component coupled across the pads of the respective serial terminator without leaving a stub which adversely impacts a signal integrity of a signal traversing the respective serial terminator.
