That's a fairly common (but seems to me stupid) design. Basically a U
shaped jumper block used to anchor springs holding a heat sink in place.
My home desktop motherboard had one pull out just like that. I superglued
it back in place and the repair outlasted the rest of the board (a few
years). Capacitors on the board ended up failing forcing me to upgrade.
I don't understand why they don't bend the legs under the circuit board to
make pulling out less likely...or even do that and then either weld/solder
them together.

Anyone got any complaints from Cisco about RMAing it?

Take a look at:

http://myweb.uiowa.edu/jnford/images/IMG_0590.jpg
The first shows the "Z1" socket in the background with the fuzzy loop in
the foreground. The second shows the heat fin & loop in the foregraound
with the socket in the background. The loop is supposed to be in the Z1
socket.
Based on the responses I've received it seems that this is a fairly common
failure due to a design flaw. I got the usual "that's strange; nobody else
is having this problem" from Cisco. I now have ample justification for
telling them "bull".
Thanks everybody.
Jay
