1. A fastener useable with a system board, the fastener comprising: a fastener body with a mating member at one end and a threaded member at an opposite end, the mating member extending from the fastener body, the mating member to position the fastener body on a chassis, and the mating member comprising a “D” shaped extender that mates with a “D” shaped slot on the chassis; the fastener body to pass through a chassis aperture, wherein the chassis aperture passes through the chassis uninhibited, such that the threaded member extends therethrough;a spool to engage with the threaded member of the fastener body, such that the spool and the fastener body are secured to the chassis to receive a sub-pan, wherein the sub-pan is located on a top surface of the chassis, and wherein a bottom surface of the chassis extends substantially beyond a length of the sub-pan, and wherein the system board is located on a top surface of the sub-pan. 2. The fastener of claim 1, further comprising a mating portion to mate with a positioning member on the chassis and to prevent rotation of the fastener. 3. The fastener of claim 1, wherein the spool comprises a hex spool. 4. The fastener of claim 1, wherein the spool further comprises a threaded receiver to engage with the threaded member. 5. The fastener of claim 1, wherein the mating member extends radially from the fastener body, such that the fastener body lies on a first plane and the mating member lies on a second plane perpendicular to the first plane. 6. The fastener of claim 1, wherein the mating member further comprises a mating portion to position the mating member such that the fastener body does not rotate. 7. The fastener of claim 1, wherein the “D” shaped extender comprises a mating straight edge to position the mating member in a locked position. 8. The fastener of claim 7, wherein the “D” shaped slot comprises a slot straight edge, such that in the locked position the mating straight edge of the “D” shaped extender aligns with the slot straight edge of the “D” shaped slot D″ shaped to prevent rotation of the fastener. 9. An assembly useable with a system board, the system comprising: a fastener comprising a fastener body and a spool, the fastener body with a mating member at one end and a threaded member at an opposite end, the mating member extending from the fastener body, the mating member comprises a “D” shaped extender with a mating portion to position the mating member on a chassis, the chassis comprising a “D” shaped slot to receive the “D” shaped extender;the spool to engage with the threaded member of the fastener body, such that the spool and the fastener body are secured directly together;the chassis to receive the fastener and a sub-pan, the chassis comprising a position slot to receive the fastener body, the position slot comprising a chassis aperture for the fastener body to pass through, wherein the chassis aperture passes through the chassis uninhibited, and a positioning member to receive the mating portion of the fastener body and prevent rotation of the fastener; andthe sub-pan to receive the system board, wherein the sub-pan is located on a top surface of the chassis, wherein a bottom surface of the chassis extends substantially beyond a length of the sub-pan, wherein the system board is located on a top surface of the sub-pan, and the sub-pan comprising a sub-pan aperture to engage with the spool and the chassis. 10. The assembly of claim 9, wherein the spool further comprises a threaded receiver to engage with the threaded member. 11. The assembly of claim 9, wherein the mating member extends radially from the fastener body, such that the fastener body lies on a first plane and the mating member lies on a second plane perpendicular to the first plane. 12. The assembly of claim 9, wherein the position slot comprises a plurality of position slots positioned on the chassis, such that the chassis receives a plurality of fasteners in a plurality of arrangements depending on the system board. 13. The assembly of claim 9, wherein the mating portion comprises a mating straight edge to position the mating member in a locked position. 14. The assembly of claim 13, wherein the “D” shaped slot comprises a slot straight edge such that in the locked position the mating straight edge of the “D” shaped extender and the slot straight edge of the “D” shaped slot are aligned to prevent rotation of the fastener. 15. The assembly of claim 9, wherein the sub-pan aperture is graduated such that the sub-pan is movable between an unengaged state and an engaged state, in the unengaged state a first portion of the sub-pan aperture does not engage with the fastener, in the engaged state a second portion of the sub-pan aperture engages with the fastener to hold the sub-pan and chassis together. 16. The assembly of claim 15, wherein the sub-pan aperture slides into and out of engagement with the fastener. 17. A method to attach a system board to a chassis, the method comprising: inserting a fastener through the chassis, the fastener comprises a fastener body with a mating member at one end and a threaded member at an opposite end, wherein the mating member comprises a “D” shaped extender, and wherein a chassis aperture passes through the chassis uninhibited to receive the fastener;mating the “D” shaped extender with a “D” shaped slot on the chassis, such that engagement between the “D” shaped extender and the “D” shaped slot prevents rotation of the fastener thereabout;attaching a spool to the threaded member of the fastener body that extends through the chassis to secure the fastener to the chassis; andsliding a sub-pan into and out of engagement with the fastener, wherein the sub-pan is to be located on a top surface of the chassis, wherein a bottom surface of the chassis extends substantially beyond a length of the sub-pan, and wherein the system board is located on a top surface of the sub-pan. 18. The method of claim 17, wherein the sub-pan is movable between an unengaged state and an engaged state, in the unengaged state a first portion of a sub-pan aperture does not engage with the fastener, in the engaged state a second portion of the sub-pan aperture engages with the fastener to hold the sub-pan and the chassis together, the sub-pan aperture is graduated to facilitate movement therebetween. 19. The method of claim 17, further comprising: securing the fastener to the chassis, such that the fastener is fixed, andpositioning the sub-pan with the system board attached between the spool and the chassis.
