A memory connector retention apparatus is disclosed. The memory connector retention apparatus may comprise a retention body having a top portion, a bottom portion, two side portions, an end portion, and a fastening portion. In an example, the top portion and the bottom portion may be open, forming a cavity in the retention body to allow a memory connector and a memory module to be positioned within the retention body. The fastening portion may allow the retention body to secure the memory module within the memory connector by keeping memory snap arms of the memory connector fixed in a closed configuration when the fastening portion is in a tightened position. In an example, the fastening portion may comprise a hole such that a tightening element, e.g., a screw or peg, may fit into the hole. In this case, the tightening element may be adjustable so that the retention body may fit over the memory snap arms and prevent the memory snap arms at the end portion and the fastening portion of the retention body from moving into an open position.
