ABSTRACT:
An apparatus for the suspension of computer expansion cards away from a system planar in a computer chassis. The apparatus includes a card, an interface plate secured to the card, the interface plate having an opening, and a hanger extending from the chassis such that the hanger engages the interface plate through the opening to support the card away from the planar when the card is disconnected from the planar. The opening in the interface plate may have a first portion and a second portion, where the hanger engages the interface plate through the first portion of the opening and secures the interface plate to the chassis when the card is connected to the planar, and the hanger engages the interface plate through the second portion of the opening to support the card away from the planar when the card is disconnected from the planar. Alternatively, the interface plate may be omitted with the opening being placed in the expansion card.
