Abstract

See full text

Using specially designed molded plastic I/O output brackets having differently arranged connection opening series formed therein, a variety of differently configured computers may be manufactured using identical sheet metal chassis. Each bracket has an identical peripheral configuration, is complementarily receivable in an end wall cutout area of any of the chassis, and has a series of I/O connections formed therein which are arranged to complementarily receive the I/O connector devices mounted on the system planar board selected for incorporation within the particular chassis. When the bracket is operatively installed in the cutout area of the chassis wall a peripheral groove formed in the bracket receives an edge portion of the chassis wall and forms therewith an EMI seal having a labyrinth configuration.
