embodiment, the strip 500 is a molded strip of plastic having icons printed thereon for
identifying respective ones of the connectors provided on the computer system. An
alignment code 502, which in the illustrated embodiment includes three dots in a
vertical arrangement, is provided on the strip 500 for enabling an assembler to apply
the strip 500 to the chassis 10 by aligning the alignment code 502 with a corresponding
alignment code 504 stamped on the I/O shield 210 and displayed through an unused or
partially used cutout, such as a cutout 26. The label strip 500 is secured to the chassis
10 by inserting tabs 600 provided at opposite ends of the strip into slots 602 in the
chassis 10. Once the tabs 600 have been inserted in to the slots 602, a plurality of
posts 604 are pressed into corresponding holes 606 provided in the chassis 10.
Crane's invention relates to a structure of a computer system, and specifically to
an arrangement of elements in a computer system to optimize desktop space
and to facilitate cooling, shielding, use, access, upgrade, and repair of the computer
system. Figure 8 is a partial perspective view of a color code scheme and hinge
arrangement associated with the desktop unit of the computer system in which a hinged
drive section provides access to one or more of the printed circuit boards. Printed
circuit boards (PCBs) 132 are housed within card cage section 130. The PCBs may
include, for example, at least one microprocessor card having a microprocessor
