ABSTRACT:
An adapter element is provided for interfacing with a card guide of a card cage system to enable ready definition of various card storage configurations within the card cage system. The adapter element is configured to be removably attached to a card guide so that different card storage configurations may be readily defined within a particular card storage level by removing one or more adapter elements from the corresponding card guides and/or positioning one or more adapter elements in corresponding card guides. Additionally, the adapter element is configured to engage the fasteners of a functional module so as to securely retain the functional module in position in the card cage assembly when the adapter element is attached to the card guide.
