Mounted circuit board/floating circuit board component connection system

An Information Handling System (IHS), comprising:

• a first component;
• a computing device having a computing device chassis that includes a mounting surface;
• a motherboard that is mounted to the computing device in parallel with the mounting surface;
• a mounted circuit board that includes a plurality of first component connectors that are connected to the first component, wherein the mounted circuit board is mounted to the computing device to resist relative movement of the mounted circuit board and the computing device;
• a floating circuit board that defines a plurality of slots and includes a plurality of second component connectors that are connected to the first component, wherein the floating circuit board is cabled to the motherboard and moveably coupled to the chassis via a respective coupling element that extends from the mounting surface through each of the plurality of slots to allow relative movement of the floating circuit board and the computing device along the plurality of slots when the first component connects to the plurality of first component connectors included on the mounted circuit board;
• and
• a resilient floating circuit board support member that extends from the mounting surface and into engagement with the floating circuit board to configure the floating circuit board to move relative to the computing device in two axes.

A method for connecting a component to a computing device using a mounted circuit board and a floating circuit board, comprising:

• connecting, by a plurality of first component connectors on a mounted circuit board that is mounted to a computing device chassis that includes a mounting surface, to a first component while the mounting of the mounted circuit board to the computing device chassis resists relative movement of the mounted circuit board and the computing device chassis;
• moving, by a floating circuit board that is 1) cabled to a motherboard mounted to the computing device chassis in parallel with the mounting surface and 2) movably coupled to the computing device via a respective coupling element that extends from the mounting surface through each of a plurality of slots defined by the floating circuit board and while the first component connects to the plurality of first component connectors on the mounted circuit board, relative to the computing device chassis in response to engagement of the first component and a plurality of second component connectors on the floating circuit board;
• connecting, by the plurality of second component connectors on the floating circuit board in response to the relative movement of the floating circuit board and the computing device chassis, to the first component;
• and
• moving, by the floating circuit board via a resilient floating circuit board support member that extends from the mounting surface and into engagement with the floating circuit board, relative to the computing device chassis in two axes.
