ABSTRACT:
An adaptable card mounting system includes a number of card guides having predefined configurations selectively mounted at slot locations within a chassis to enable cards of varying dimensions to be installed. A first type of card guide is mounted to opposed walls of the chassis at each slot location. This first card guide is required for installation of cards of a first length and first depth. A second card guide is mounted to the walls of the chassis in conjunction with the first card guide at slot locations requiring installation of circuit cards having a second depth different than that of the first depth. A third type of card guide is mounted between the opposed first or second card guides at selected slot locations requiring installation of cards of a second length shorter than the first length. Use of the three card guides at selected slot locations permits installation of circuit cards of varying dimensions independent of slot location. The chassis is therefore adaptable to modifications in the circuit design on the supported cards that require changing the number or shape of the included cards.
