I recently purchased an early 2009 Mac Pro (Quad Core 2.93GHz) that
was missing the covers and screws for the PCIe card slots. I found
covers with no problem, but I still need the screws.
I expected this to be an easy find, as so many computers have PCI-e
card slots. Apparently the cards are standard but the retaining
screws are not!
I have been to a couple of computer repair shops and to the Apple
Retail Store. The repair shops gave me some assorted screws but none
of them fits. The Apple Store told me to call Apple Support and they
said that they cannot help me because this is not a standard Aplle
part.
The User Guide shows that, instead of a screw for each slot, there is
a retaining plate that covers all of the ends of the cards and is
held in place by two thumbscrews. However, in this machine there is a
threaded hole for each slot.
If anyone can sell me the parts for this or point me in the right
direction, I would really appreciate it.
Sincerely,
Herb Goodfriend
