Abstract
An alignment device includes a crossbar and two brackets. Each one of the two brackets includes at least one guide hole, with each guide hole having a front opening. The crossbar couples the two brackets and defines a connector opening. The alignment device also includes two connector alignment posts. Each one of the two connector alignment posts has a first end coupled to the crossbar and an opposing end protruding into the connector opening. A method of connecting a circuit card to a mid plane and a computer including the alignment device also are described.
