               1. A card retention system, comprising:                                                 
               a retainer adapted to apply an increasing level of retention                            
          force to an expansion card disposed in a chassis as a size of the                            
          expansion card increases; and                                                                
               a support member adapted to support the retainer in a                                   
          plurality of different locations relative to the expansion card.                             
               11. A method for manufacturing a card retention system,                                 
          comprising:                                                                                  
               providing a support member adapted to be releasably coupled                             
          to a chassis;                                                                                
               coupling a retainer to at least one of a plurality of                                   
          mounting locations disposed on the support member, the retainer                              
          adapted to apply an increasing level of retention force to an                                
          expansion card disposed in the chassis as a size of the expansion                            
          card increases.                                                                              
               44. A card retention system, comprising:                                                
               a support member adapted to be coupled to a chassis adjacent                            
          at least one expansion card disposed in the chassis, the support                             
          member having a plurality of different mounting locations                                    
          disposed relative to the at least one expansion card; and                                    
               a retainer adapted to be coupled to one of the plurality of                             
          different mounting locations, the retainer adapted to apply a                                
          varying level of retention force to the at least one expansion                               
          card based on a size of the at least one expansion card.                                     
               51. A method for manufacturing a card retention system,                                 
          comprising:                                                                                  
               providing a support member adapted to be coupled to a                                   
          chassis adjacent at least one expansion card disposed in the                                 
          chassis, the support member having a plurality of different                                  
          mounting locations disposed relative to the at least one                                     
          expansion card; and
