Linear edge connector with a cable retention mechanism having a body with a groove with an indentation to receive a bolster plate protrusion

A computing system comprising:

• a central processing unit (CPU) residing on a substrate, the substrate comprising a diving board comprising contacts coupled to the CPU;
• a bolster plate mechanically connected the substrate, the bolster plate comprising a connector receiving element comprising a protrusion;
• and
• a cable cable retention assembly comprising:
• an electrical interface configured to receive the edge connector and electrically couple the edge connector to a wiring connector assembly, and a retention mechanism body coupled to the electrical interface, the retention mechanism body comprising:
• a bolster plate receiving groove to receive a protrusion on a bolster plate, and
• a bolster plate receiving indentation to receive the bolster plate protrusion.
