The card cage includes an insert removably mounted to a mounting bar position between first and second ends of the card cage. The insert extends along a portion of the width of the card cage. When the insert is mounted to the mounting bar, a printed circuit card of a first length may be disposed between the insert and one of the card cage ends. When the insert is removed, a printed circuit card of a second length greater than the first length may be mounted between the first and second ends of the card cage. Plural mounting bars may be located between the respective card cage ends to accommodate printed circuit cards of different lengths.Field of SearchMemory unit supportDisk drive support Input/output device support Module Plural With housing Interchangeable Having lock or interlock Stacked With locking means or device Guiding means With spacer With locking means or device Printed circuit board With housing or chassis Guiding means With spacer With lock or interlock With separable connector or socket means Having backplane connection Stacked With housing or chassis Specific latching or retaining device Specific alignment or guide means For guiding side of movable panel, e.g., circuit board | |
