Low Profile or Full Height PCI Express Card with Dual Purpose Hold-down
e.
Bracket: If your workstation is configured with a dual purpose (both low profile and full height)
hinged PCI Express x16 card hold-down bracket, as shown below, do not remove any screws
from the bracket. Merely rotate the hinged upper portion of the bracket (2) upward and back
over the hinge (3), away from the top of the card (1) before removing the card, and proceed
to Step f. to remove the card. After you reinstall or replace the PCI Express x16 card, rotate the
upper portion hold-down bracket back over the card so that it rests on top edge of the card (as
shown in the following illustration) before replacing the chassis cover panel.
NOTE:
The dual purpose hinged hold-down bracket can be used to hold down either a low
profile or full height PCI Express x16 card, depending on how the bracket is mounted in the
workstation chassis. For example, if the bracket is currently configured to hold down a low
profile card, you can remove the two bracket mounting screws, then use them to reinstall the
bracket up-side-down from its original installation in order to hold down a full height card. The
following illustration shows the hold-down bracket mounted in position to retain a full height PCI
Express x16 card.
