Patent ID: 8693204

Claim:
A board assembly, comprising: a logic board having a coupling region and a non-coupling region, the coupling region including at least one coupling structure, and the non-coupling region including at least one board connector; an integrated circuit mounted on the logic board adjacent to the non-coupling region; an electromagnetic interference (EMI) shield disposed around at least a portion of the integrated circuit, the EMI shield including at least one anchor member; a cowling constructed to cover at least a portion of the coupling and non-coupling regions when secured to a top surface of the logic board, the cowling having at least one tab constructed to fit within the at least one anchor member when secured to the logic board; and a fastening member that interfaces with each of the at least one coupling structure to secure the cowling to the logic board, wherein when secured, the at least one anchor member and the at least one coupling structure enable the cowling to prevent the at least one board connector located in the non-coupling region from experiencing a disconnect event.
