Note The ExpressCard strain-relief assembly cannot strain relieve cables when an

extended ExpressCard is installed. Also, the assembly may be unable to strain relieve

cables with very large or unusually shaped housings. However, when you cannot strain

relieve the ExpressCard cable, you still can secure the ExpressCard itself as shown in

Figure 1.
