Abstract
An information handling system includes a processing system, a side wall, and a spring. The side wall includes a mounting stud and a capture mechanism to retain a second processing system. The capture mechanism includes a mounting bracket movably affixed to the side wall. The mounting bracket includes a mounting hole and a retention stud rigidly affixed to the mounting bracket. The retention stud engages with a retaining mechanism of the second processing system to couple the second processing system to the first processing system. The spring is attached between the mounting stud and the mounting hole.

An information handling system, comprising:
- a first processing system;
- a first side wall including a first mounting stud and a first capture mechanism to retain a second processing system, the first capture mechanism including a first mounting bracket movably affixed to the first side wall, the first mounting bracket including a first mounting hole and a first retention stud rigidly affixed to the first mounting bracket, the first retention stud to engage with a retaining mechanism of the second processing system to couple the second processing system to the first processing system;
- and
- a first spring attached between the first mounting stud and the first mounting hole.
A method, comprising:
- fixing a first processing system in an enclosure;
- fixing a first mounting stud to a first side wall of the enclosure;
- and
- fixing a first capture mechanism to the first side wall, the first capture mechanism to retain a second processing system to the first processing system, wherein fixing the first capture mechanism further comprises:
- movably fixing a first mounting bracket to the first side wall, the first mounting bracket including a first mounting hole and a first retention stud rigidly affixed to the first mounting bracket, the first retention stud to engage with a retaining mechanism of the second processing system;
- and
- attaching a first spring between the first mounting stud and the first mounting hole.
An information handling system, comprising:
- a processing system;
- a processor expansion module including a retention mechanism;
- a side wall including a mounting stud and a capture mechanism to retain the processor expansion module, the capture mechanism including a mounting bracket movably affixed to the first wall, the mounting bracket including a mounting hole and a retention stud rigidly affixed to the mounting bracket, the retention stud to engage with the retaining mechanism to couple the PEM to the processing system;
