1.3.2

Card Locks

A PCI card is attached to the carrier with screw-mounted locks or retainers
(

FIGURE 1-15

). Card locks hold a PCI card to its carrier and prevent the PCI card from

shifting or tilting. The PCI card must be securely mounted in order for the carrier to
correctly seat the PCI card in the card socket in the I/O boat.

FIGURE 1-15

Card Locks

There are three types of locks:

■

Type A is a square-shaped lock. Three of these are supplied with each carrier.

■

Type B is an oblong lock that has an S-shaped profile. It provides a longer
extension (0.75 in./19 mm) than type A. Type B can be used as a top or side
mount, wherever a longer reach is needed. One of this type is included with each
carrier.
