Option Module Fastener Detection

An information handling system, comprising:

• a motherboard having a motherboard connector;
• and
• a module, comprising:
• a circuit board having a first side and a second side opposite the first side;
• a hole in the circuit board, the hole having a first opening on the first side of the circuit board;
• a first contact adjacent to the first opening;
• a second contact adjacent to the first opening and spaced apart from the first contact;
• and
• a module connector coupled to the motherboard connector, wherein the first contact is electrically connected to a selected pin or socket on the module connector.

An information handling system (IHS), comprising:

• a motherboard connector mounted on a motherboard, the motherboard connector having a first detection contact;
• and
• an IHS component, comprising:
• a component connector having a second fastener-detect contact, the second detection contact adapted to electrically connect to the first detection contact on the motherboard connector;
• a component fastener having a head end, the component fastener disposed within a hole in the IHS component and configured to attach the component connector to the motherboard connector;
• a first fastener contact positioned adjacent to the hole and electrically coupled to the motherboard connector, wherein the first contact is electrically connected to a selected pin or socket on the module connector;
• and
• a second fastener contact positioned adjacent to the hole and spaced apart from the first contact, the second fastener contact electrically connected to ground;
• wherein the first fastener contact is electrically connected to ground when the head end is touching both the first fastener contact and the second fastener contact.
