Patent attributes
An apparatus for reducing shielding gaps associated with the mounting of peripheral cards in a computer system. A computer system chassis includes a frame mounted thereupon, the frame having at least one opening adjacent to a peripheral card slot. The frame includes a plurality of tabs arranged around the opening, wherein the tabs on one side of the opening are staggered with respect to the tabs on the other side of the opening. A shield bracket configured for coupling to a peripheral card mountable in the slot is slidable to cover the opening. When the shield bracket is slid into position to cover the opening, the shield bracket is retained by the plurality of tabs. The frame and the slot bracket are made of a flexible, electrically conductive material.
