A system for a socket connector, comprising:
- a first alignment feature with a first height to engage with a module board and to horizontally align the module board with a socket on the socket connector;
- and
- a second alignment feature with a second height to engage with the module board and to vertically align the module board with the socket;
- wherein the first height is greater than the second height,
- wherein:
- the module board is coupled to the socket connector by a number of recessed connection apertures and
- the module board is an embedded module board, and
- wherein the recessed connection apertures receive a screw head within the recessed portion of the recessed connection apertures from a number of mounting screws that couple the module board to a module carrier when the module board is a hot-pluggable module board.
