ABSTRACT:
An adjustable size hot plug assembly includes a frame, an actuator and at least one arm connected thereto. The arm includes an adjustable clip and a fixed clip to retain a printed circuit board. Where more than one arm is employed (preferably three are employed in the invention), the middle arm and one end arm are adjustable toward or away from one another and toward or away from the other end arm which may be fixed. The invention allows the hot plug assembly to be universal in that it can be adapted to fit any Peripheral Component Interconnect (PCI) card.
