Claim 15:
16. A printed circuit board (PCB), comprising: an array of signal pads on a first surface of the PCB, the each signal pad of the array of signal pads being associated with a signal contact of a central processing unit (CPU); a first power contact pad on the first surface of the PCB, the first power contact pad configured to provide power for the CPU apart from the array of signal pads; a second power contact pad on the first surface of the PCB, the second power contact pad configured to provide the power for the CPU apart from the array of signal pads, wherein the second contact pad is located on a side of the array of signal pads that is opposite from the first power contact pad; a first ground contact pad on a second surface of the PCB, the first ground contact pad configured to provide a ground for the CPU apart from the array of signal pads, wherein the first ground contact pad is located proximate to a first corner of the array of signal pads; a second ground contact pad on the second surface of the PCB, the second ground contact pad configured to provide the ground for the CPU apart from the array of signal pads, wherein the second ground contact pad is located proximate to a second corner of the array of signal pads; a first nut soldered to the first ground contact pad; and a second nut soldered to the second ground contact pad.
