Abstract
An integrated computer module having an EMI shielding plate which doubles as a mechanical retainer for a disk drive within the module and as an shield to insulate the disk drive's electronics from electromagnetic interference (EMI) emanating from a main PCBA located nearby. The module is adapted for removable insertion into a docking bay within a host assembly, and upon such insertion for connecting to a host connector and thereby controlling a display device. The preferred module has an enclosure, a main PCBA in the enclosure including a microprocessor generating EMI; a module connector electrically connected to the main PCBA and supported at the enclosure's back wall for connection to the host connector upon insertion of the integrated module into the docking bay in the host assembly; a disk drive including a casting and a controller PCBA mounted on one side of the casting; a conductor assembly electrically connecting the main PCBA to the controller PCBA; and an intermediate plate located above the disk drive, between the disk drive's controller PCBA and the main PCBA, and attached to the enclosure to capture the disk drive in the enclosure and to insulate the controller PCBA from EMI generated by the main PCBA.
