A circuit card guide comprising a base defining at least one base slot for placement in alignment over a corresponding expansion slot on a computer system motherboard, incorporates one or more insert guides positioned in cooperation with the base slot such that when a user attempts to insert a circuit card by feel, due to partial or complete visual obstruction of the expansion slot by other computer system components, a connector edge of the circuit card can be received by the circuit card guide within a greater range of tolerance than the width of the expansion slot alone, and the connector edge can be guided by the one or more insert guides through the base slot and into the desired expansion slot.

[ What is claimed is:] [1.]1. A circuit card guide comprising:a base having an upper surface and a lower surface,said base defining a base slot having dimensions corresponding to an expansion slot for receiving a connector edge of a circuit card,said base being capable of secured placement in alignment with the expansion slot such that the expansion slot is accessible to the circuit card connector edge via said base slot;an insert guide positioned on said upper surface of said base in cooperation with said base slot such that said insert guide is capable of directing the connector edge into the expansion slot via said base slot through contact with said insert guide during insertion; andat least one attachment arm comprising a protrusion for mechanically hooking onto a corresponding element in communication with the expansion slot, wherein said circuit card guide is securely placed in alignment with the expansion slot via said at least one attachment arm.
