    Hi,

    I've just taken delivery of some V240s and V480s with Quad Gigaswift
    ethernet cards (X4444A) already installed, but I can't get the
    locking tabs on my patch cables to click in, there's not enough
    clearance at the edge of the PCI slot. I've complained to my
    supplier that the card is mis-aligned and they've come back to me
    to say that it is a known problem and we should use cables without
    locking tabs.

    I find this unacceptable, and can't believe it's true. Has any one
    else had a similar problem ?. If I can't lock the cables off I'm
    gonna send the stuff back.

    Chris.
