Patent ID: 8144469

Claim:
A component loading system, comprising: a board comprising a socket, wherein the board includes a first mounting member and a pair of first heat dissipater coupling posts that extend from the board adjacent the socket; a base member that defines two base member securing holes, wherein the base member is secured to the board using the pair of first heat dissipater coupling posts such that a first heat dissipater coupling post extends through each base member securing hole; and a loading member that includes a pair of second heat dissipater coupling posts extending from the loading member, wherein the loading member is operable to be secured to the board by coupling the loading member to the base member and securing the loading member to the board using the first mounting member, and wherein a heat dissipater is operable to be coupled to the base member and the loading member using the pair of first heat dissipater coupling posts and the pair of second heat dissipater coupling posts.
