ABSTRACT:
A quick release backplane or cover assembly for use with a computer terminal to shield feature card slots of the computer terminal card cage. The assembly comprises a ground strap member releasably secured to the computer terminal card cage with filler members each corresponding with a card slot. Each filler member has one end connected by a severable web to the ground strap and an opposite free end extended outward from the ground strap to cover and shield a corresponding feature card slot. Spring clips affixed to sides of the card cage have spring members corresponding with the filler members for engaging the free end of a corresponding filler member. The spring clips have protuberances each corresponding with a spring member and which are formed to maintain a filler member free end in engagement with a spring member and which are releasable with respect to the filler members for enabling the spring members to exert a force for disengaging the filler member free ends from the card cage thereby enabling the ground strap to be released to remove the backplane assembly from the computer terminal.
