Claims
- 1. A module for attaching to a portion of a socket in a board, said socket having a first portion and a second portion, comprising:a holder for holding a portion of a module board, said holder including a unitary first connector having at least a slotted portion thereof for engaging at least a first portion of said module board and having another portion thereof for engaging a portion of said first portion of said socket in said board and a unitary second connector having at least a slotted portion thereof for engaging at least a second portion of said module board and another portion thereof for engaging a portion of said second portion of said socket in said board, said holder including a cross-member depending from and extending between said first connector and said second connector for positioning said module board within said holder, said module board having a first side thereof for removably engaging at least a portion of said first connector and having a second side thereof for removably engaging at least a portion of said second connector; and a plurality of semiconductor chips attached to said module board.
- 2. A module for attaching to a socket of a board, said socket comprising a first portion and a second portion, comprising:a holder for holding a module board, said holder including a unitary first connector having at least a portion thereof for engaging at least a first portion of said module board and having another portion thereof for engaging a portion of said first portion of said socket of said board and a unitary second connector having at least a portion thereof for engaging at least a second portion of said module board and another portion thereof for engaging a portion of said second portion of said socket of said board, said holder including a cross-member depending from and extending between said first connector and said second connector for positioning said module board within said holder, wherein said cross-member includes a substantially longitudinally extending channel for receiving a top edge of said module board, said module board having a first side thereof for removably engaging at least a portion of said first connector and having a second side thereof for removably engaging at least a portion of said second connector; and a plurality of semiconductor chips attached to said module board.
- 3. A module for removably attaching to a socket of a board, said socket having a first portion and a second portion, comprising:a holder and a module board having a plurality of semiconductor chips attached thereto positioned within said holder, said holder including a first connector attachable to a first side of said module board having a portion thereof engaging a portion of said first portion of said socket and a second connector attachable to a second side of said module board having a portion thereof engaging a portion of said second portion of said socket, a cross-member depending from and extending between said first connector and said second connector, said cross-member including a substantially longitudinally extending channel for receiving a top edge of said module board.
