Abstract

An information handling system may include an information handling resource comprising a circuit board and an ergonomic assembly mechanically coupled to the information handling resource. The ergonomic assembly may include a main body mechanically attached to the circuit board via a press-fit mechanical coupling to a top edge of the circuit board and a latch mechanically coupled to the main body and having a first mechanical feature configured to mechanically engage with a second mechanical feature of the main body in order to secure mechanical coupling of the ergonomic assembly to the information handling resource.

Claims (25)

1 . An information handling system comprising:

an information handling resource comprising a circuit board; and

an ergonomic assembly mechanically coupled to the information handling resource and comprising:

a main body mechanically attached to the circuit board via a press-fit mechanical coupling to a top edge of the circuit board; and

a latch mechanically coupled to the main body and having a first mechanical feature configured to mechanically engage with a second mechanical feature of the main body in order to secure mechanical coupling of the ergonomic assembly to the information handling resource.

2 . The information handling system of claim 1 , wherein the second mechanical feature comprises a detent formed within the main body.

3 . The information handling system of claim 1 , wherein the first mechanical feature is an interference feature and the second mechanical feature is a side edge of the circuit board.

4 . The information handling system of claim 1 , wherein the latch is rotatably coupled to the main body via an axis.

5 . The information handling system of claim 1 , wherein the information handling resource comprises a memory module.

6 . The information handling system of claim 1 , further comprising a thermal insert assembly mechanically coupled to the information handling resource via the ergonomic assembly.

7 . An ergonomic assembly configured to mechanically couple to a circuit board of an information handling resource, the ergonomic assembly comprising:

a main body configured to mechanically attach to the circuit board via a press-fit mechanical coupling to a top edge of the circuit board; and

a latch mechanically coupled to the main body and having a first mechanical feature configured to mechanically engage with a second mechanical feature of the main body in order to secure mechanical coupling of the ergonomic assembly to the information handling resource.

8 . The ergonomic assembly of claim 7 , wherein the second mechanical feature comprises a detent formed within the main body.

9 . The ergonomic assembly of claim 7 , wherein the first mechanical feature is an interference feature and the second mechanical feature is a side edge of the circuit board.

10 . The ergonomic assembly of claim 7 , wherein the latch is rotatably coupled to the main body via an axis.

11 . The ergonomic assembly of claim 7 , wherein the information handling resource comprises a memory module.

12 . A method for constructing an ergonomic assembly configured to mechanically couple to a circuit board of an information handling resource, the method comprising:

configuring a main body of the ergonomic assembly to mechanically attach to the circuit board via a press-fit mechanical coupling to a top edge of the circuit board; and

mechanically coupling a latch to the main body, the latch having a first mechanical feature configured to mechanically engage with a second mechanical feature of the main body in order to secure mechanical coupling of the ergonomic assembly to the information handling resource.

13 . The method of claim 12 , wherein the second mechanical feature comprises a detent formed within the main body.

14 . The method of claim 12 , wherein the first mechanical feature is an interference feature and the second mechanical feature is a side edge of the circuit board.

15 . The method of claim 12 , further comprising rotatably coupling the latch to the main body via an axis.

16 . The method of claim 12 , wherein the information handling resource comprises a memory module.

17 . The method of claim 12 , further comprising mechanically coupling a thermal insert assembly to the information handling resource via the ergonomic assembly.
