antistatic mat.)
FIGURE 13-6 shows card positioning post and card positioning tab.
FIGURE 13-6 Card Positioning Post and Card Positioning Tab
The post (item 1 in FIGURE 13-6) is seated in the notch of the bracket of the PCI card. If the
post is not properly seated in the notch, the mounting bracket of the card may be bent and the
card may end up being affixed in an inclined position on the PCI cassette. If a card is affixed
in an inclined position, it will not be in proper electric contact with the socket on the IOU.
The tab (item 2 in
FIGURE 13-6) fits in the notch on the lower part of the PCI card. This tab
is helpful in positioning the card when it is mounted on the PCI cassette (however, some
types of cards do not have the notch).
