About the PCI retainer bracket
Many computers contain card guides at the front end of the computer chassis.
These help to stabilize cards. Since PCI-X cards are neither long enough nor
correctly centered to use these guides, the X.io card is equipped with a PCI
retainer bracket. The following diagram depicts the retainer bracket's use:

Removing the PCI retainer bracket
With some computer models, you may have to remove the PCI retainer bracket.
In such a case, once you've drained static electricity from your body and removed
the X.io card from its antistatic bag (see
"Before you install your Matrox X.io
card"
on page 28), simply remove the screws holding the bracket in place and
then carefully remove the bracket.
