Abstract
A computer system is provided which allows a user to remove or install feature cards without removing the cover to entire computer. A computer cover is provided with rectangular openings which correspond in alignment and size to an electrical connector on the system board. The feature card can then be mechanically attached to the computer cover, or a frame member, with a pivot and guide member. A handle is provided which will allow the user to apply pressure to the card, via the guide member in order to insert or remove the feature card from the connector on the system board. The guide member is constructed such that a vertical force is applied between the card and connector to ensure proper alignment when inserting and removing the adapter card.
