A4000T Expansion Slot Covers
« on: January 21, 2016, 02:42:41 AM »
Here is something I have been wondering about for some time. The A4000T, or at least mine is missing the screw holes for the last two expansion slots. If you look in the picture I have attached you can see where I have two covers just sitting in place and no place to screw them in. Anyone know why this is or what I can do? i have though about drilling and just making them, but never got to it before I wanted to use that last PCI slot recently.

there's no holes because the design called for a holding plate that covered those bracket gaps. There's pictures in the 4000/4000t gallery of all the 4000T parts.


Hmmm, I wonder how I lost that! Where is the picture gallery for the A4000T?

So it looks like drilling and tapping the hole may be a good choice. I have that plate, but it wont allow me to secure the last PCI card I want to use since I cant put the spacer into screw it like the others.

Anyone know other solutions that have mediators?
