Abstract
A filler plate for filling an option card slot in a computer enclosure includes a cover plate portion for substantially covering the option card slot. The cover plate portion has a first end and a second end opposite to the first end. A tongue extends from the first end of the cover plate portion for insertion into a capture slot located in the enclosure adjacent to the option card slot to secure the first end of the cover plate portion to the enclosure. First and second retaining tabs extend substantially perpendicularly from the cover plate for engaging first and second edges of the option card slot to hold the filler plate in position relative to the option card slot.
