Abstract
A front installable guide for a circuit card connecting device is provided. The connecting device has a circuit card connector. The guide has a pair of elongated alignment pins. Each of the pins terminates in a fastener for attachment to the connecting device adjacent the connector. The guide also has a guiding member. The guiding member has a groove which is slidably engagable with an edge of a circuit card. A pair of parallel channels is formed in the guiding member for reception of the alignment pins such that when the alignment pins are received in the channels and attached to the connecting device, the groove is aligned for reception of a circuit card to be connected to the connecting device. The guiding member can provide support for the received circuit card.
