6.5.6 Clip Retention Anchors
For Intel 7500 chipset based platforms that have very limited board space, a clip
retention anchor has been developed to minimize the impact of clip retention on the
board. It is based on a standard three-pin jumper and is soldered to the board like any
common through-hole header. A new anchor design is available with 45° bent leads to
increase the anchor attach reliability over time. See Appendix A for the part number
and supplier information.
