PCI bracket Supermicro MCP-240-00203-0N Plastic Black

The Supermicro MCP-240-00203-0N Plastic Black PCI bracket is a replacement bracket designed for mounting PCI cards in compatible Supermicro computer cases. Molded from durable black plastic, the bracket restores or maintains the correct alignment and retention of expansion cards, helping to secure connectors and interfaces at the rear of the chassis. It is intended for use where a plastic bracket is specified or preferred over metal alternatives.

Advantages

This plastic PCI bracket provides secure card retention without adding significant weight or conductive material inside the chassis. The molded design resists corrosion and simplifies installation compared to adjustable metal brackets. As a form-fit replacement for compatible Supermicro cases, it helps maintain proper airflow and rear-panel alignment while reducing the risk of short circuits associated with metal contact.

Suitable for

• Replacing damaged or missing PCI slot brackets in Supermicro computer cases
• Securing single-width PCI and PCIe add-in cards in server or workstation chassis
• Non-conductive mounting requirements where plastic brackets are preferred

Key specifications

• Material: durable molded plastic with matte black finish
• Form factor: standard full-height PCI bracket profile for rear I/O alignment
• Compatibility: designed to match mounting points and slot opening dimensions of compatible Supermicro cases
• Weight: lightweight construction to minimize additional load on cards
• Durability: corrosion-resistant and non-conductive material

How to use

To install the bracket, power down the system and remove the case side panel according to the case manufacturer's instructions. Align the bracket with the rear slot opening and the card's rear I/O, then insert the expansion card into the motherboard slot while guiding the bracket into the chassis slot. Secure the bracket using the case's retention screw or clip at the rear. Verify that the card is seated correctly and that connectors are accessible through the bracket opening before restoring power.

Usage recommendations

Use this plastic bracket in environments where electrical isolation at the rear panel is desirable and where weight reduction is beneficial. Avoid exposing the bracket to excessive mechanical stress or high-temperature conditions beyond typical server room or office environments. If heavier-duty support or grounding is required, consider a metal bracket option compatible with your chassis.
