Excessive Force on a Lock Can Bend or Break the PCI Card
Here are some rules to avoid the tilting of PCI cards:
1. You must have at least one lock on top of the card. If the top of the card is too low
to accept a lock, the card cannot be used.
2. Find a lock to fit the top of the card and provide side support to prevent the card
from tilting. A tilted card (
) will not seat properly.
3. Support of the bottom of the card is not a major priority because the carrier plate
itself provides some support for the bottom of the card.
4. Use only enough pressure to hold the lock against the PCI card. The bottom of the
PCI card should stay parallel with the bottom of the carrier.
