Information handling system retention nut for automated assembly and disassembly

Abstract

A portable information handling system is assembled and disassembled by a keystone assembly that couples at an upper surface of the portable housing to overlap a keyboard assembly that covers processing components disposed in the portable housing. A motherboard couples to the portable housing under the keyboard assembly with openings aligned to insert over retaining nuts extending from the housing, the retaining nuts having a lip to engage the motherboard, a stop feature to define motherboard sliding movement and an alignment feature to align the lip and stop feature in a predetermined configuration. A cooling fan couples to the motherboard adjacent to one side to retain the motherboard in the engaged position and is removed to allow the motherboard to slide to the released position.

Dependencies are inferred from the claim text.
