Michael J. Greenside - Granite Bay CA
Jay R. Forkas - Rocklin CA

Assignee:

Hewlett-Packard Company - Palo Alto CA

International Classification:

H05K 500

US Classification:

361752, 361753, 361756, 361759, 361796, 361801, 361802

Abstract:

A card cage having a series of circuit board slots may be modified using various components of a circuit board adapter. The card cage has a series of slots, each slot having common dimensions and including card guides adapted to house a full height circuit board card by holding a top end and a bottom end of the full height circuit board card. Each modified slot also includes a set of cooperating vertical support member guides located within the slot which cooperate to house the vertical support member within the slot by holding the top end and the bottom end thereof. The vertical support member supports an intermediate card guide which cooperates with at least one of the card guides to house a smaller circuit board within the slot by holding a top end and a bottom end therebetween. Thus, when the intermediate card guide is removed from the slot, a full vertical height circuit board card may be inserted within the slot. When the intermediate card guides are located within the slot, one or more smaller vertical height circuit card guides may be housed within the slot.
