Abstract
A mounting frame for a component of a computing system includes first supports and second supports. The first supports are to contact a top surface of the component at a first height relative to the mounting frame, and the second supports are to contact the top surface of the component at a second height relative to the mounting frame.
Claims21
A mounting frame to mount a component of a computing system, comprising:
- first supports mounted at a first height relative to the mounting frame to contact, at the first height, a top surface of a first component having a first component height;
- and
- second supports mounted at a second height relative to the mounting frame, the second supports deflected by the first component when the top surface of the first component is contacted to the first supports at the first height, and
- a bottom surface of the second supports to contact, at the second height, the top surface of a second component having a second component height less than the first component height.

An adapter comprising:
- a mounting frame to mount a component of a computing system;
- first supports associated with the mounting frame to contact, at a first height relative to the mounting frame, a top surface of a first component having a first component height;
- and
- second supports associated with the mounting frame, each of the second supports deflectable by the first component in contact with the first supports at the first height, and
- the second supports to contact, at a second height relative to the mounting frame, the top surface of a second component having a second component height less than the first component height.
2 more elements
A method, comprising:
- supporting a top surface of a component of a computing system based on first supports and second supports of a mounting frame, wherein the supporting comprises:
- for a first component having a first component height, contacting the first supports to the top surface of the first component at a first height relative to the mounting frame, and deflecting the second supports by the first component that has the first component height, and
- for a second component having a second component height less than the first component height, contacting the second supports to the top surface of the second component at a second height relative to the mounting frame;
- and
- supporting the first or second component in the mounting frame, wherein the mounting frame is mountable in the computing system.
