Abstract

See full text

A computer system includes a backplane printed circuit board and a peripheral device. The peripheral device is coupled to the backplane printed circuit board. The peripheral device is cradled within a chassis carrier. A grounding conductor is associated with the chassis carrier and peripheral device. A frame structure supports the chassis carrier. The frame structure includes peripheral device bays and split lances. The peripheral device bays are for receiving peripheral devices. One of the peripheral device bays includes the peripheral device and chassis carrier. The split lances are located on opposite internal sides of the frame structure for each peripheral device bay. Mounting rails may be coupled to the opposite internal sides of the frame over the split lances such that the split lances project through the mounting rails. The split lances electrically couple installed peripheral devices to ground, and locate and support the mounting rails and/or peripheral devices.
