ABSTRACT:
A functional module is provided for use in conjunction with an electronic equipment enclosure that includes a card cage having two end card guides and one or more middle card guides interposed between the end card guides. The functional module includes a double-wide card that is configured to be removably received in the card cage. The double-wide card includes electronic circuitry and defines a cutout configured to engage a middle card guide. When the functional module is operably positioned in the electronic equipment enclosure, the edges of the double wide card are supported by the end card guide and the cutout engages the middle card guide so that the double-wide card straddles the middle card guide and is supported thereby.
