Configurable card retention for risers

An information handling system comprising:

• a riser card;
• and
• mechanical retention assembly for use with an information handling resource, comprising:
• a body configured to mechanically couple to the riser card;
• a bracket mechanically coupled to the body and configured to mechanically retain respective tails of component cards received into the riser card;
• and
• at least one low-profile retention feature rotatably coupled to the body and configured to be movable between an open position and a closed position relative to the body, wherein:
• in the open position, the at least one low-profile retention feature allows for insertion and removal of a component card into a connector of the riser card associated with the at least one low-profile retention feature;
• and
• in the closed position, the at least one low-profile retention feature mechanically retains a top edge of a low-profile component card received into the riser card.

A method comprising:

• mechanically coupling a bracket to a body configured to mechanically couple to a riser card such that the bracket is configured to mechanically retain respective tails of component cards received into the riser card;
• and
• rotatably coupling at least one low-profile retention feature to the body such that the at least one low-profile retention feature is configured to be movable between an open position and a closed position relative to the body, wherein:
• in the open position, the at least one low-profile retention feature allows for insertion and removal of a component card into a connector of the riser card associated with the at least one low-profile retention feature;
• and
• in the closed position, the at least one low-profile retention feature mechanically retains a top edge of a low-profile component card received into the riser card.
