Abstract
The present invention is an information processing system. The information system comprises a housing, a card insulator, and a card insulator guide. The card insulator comprises a planar portion, a handle portion coupled to the planar portion, the handle portion including a securing element for securing the card insulator to the housing. The card insulator guide is coupled to the housing wherein the card insulator guide comprises at least one slot for receiving the card insulator and a retainer lid hingedly coupled to the at least one slot for securing the card insulator to the card insulator guide. Through the use of the system in accordance with the present invention, the card insulator is coupled to the information processing system in a more secure fashion thereby preventing the card insulator from popping out of position as a result a shock or vibration to the information processing system.
