An apparatus, comprising:

• a first card guide base portion;
• a second card guide base portion;
• a connecting member that serves to connect the first and second card guide base portions and cause the first and second card guide base portions to comprise a side-by-side relationship component engageable wit a chassis;
• wherein the first card guide base portion, the second card guide base portion, and the connecting member comprise an integral formation;
• and
• a card guide end portion employable with the first card guide base portion to comprise one or more portions of a card guide path;
• the card guide end portion detachably connectable with the first card guide base portion contemporaneously with engagement of the first card guide base portion with the chassis;
• at least a majority of the card guide end portion comprising the color that is different from the color of the first card guide base portion;
• wherein the card guide end portion comprises a material that is different from a material of the first card guide base portion.

An apparatus, comprising:

• a first preformed card guide base portion;
• a second preformed card guide base portion;
• a preformed connecting member that serves to connect the first and second preformed card guide base portions and cause the first and second preformed card guide base portions to comprise a preformed side-by-side relationship component engageable with a chassis;
• wherein the first preformed card guide base portion, the second preformed card guide base portion, and the preformed connecting member comprise an integral formation and
• a card guide end attachment component that is attachable with the first preformed card guide base portion to comprise one or more portions of a card guide path;
• the card guide end attachment component detachably connectable with the first preformed card guide base portion contemporaneously with engagement of the first preformed card guide base portion with the chassis;
• and
• at least a majority of the card guide end attachment component comprising the color that is different from the color of the first preformed card guide base portion.

An apparatus, comprising:

• a card guide insert that comprises a first leg that extends in a first direction and a second leg that extends in a second direction;
• and
• a card guide base portion that comprises a base end portion that comprises an end face for receiving the first leg and a body face for receiving the second leg;
• the card guide insert having a first color that is different from a second color of the card guide base portion;
• wherein upon location of the card guide base portion in a chassis, location of the first leg on the end the, and location of the second leg on the body face, the base end portion serves to engage a portion of the chassis and one or more of the body face and the end face serve to support the card guide insert over the portion of the chassis;
• the card guide insert detachably connectable with the card guide base portion contemporaneously with engagement of the card guide base portion with the chassis.

An apparatus, comprising:

• means for changing a color of an end face portion of a card guide path in a chassis from a group of available colors without decoupling a base portion of the card guide path from the chassis, the means for changing having:
• a first removable card guide end insert of a first color, wherein the first removable card guide end insert comprises the end face portion upon removable connection of the first removable card guide end insert with the base portion in the card guide path;
• and
• a second removable card guide end insert of a second color, wherein the second removable card guide end insert comprises the end face portion upon:
• removal of the first removable card guide end insert from connection with the base portion in the card guide path;
• and
• removable connection of the second removable card guide end insert with the base portion in the card guide path.

A method, comprising the steps of:

• choosing a color firm a group of available colors for an end face portion of a card guide path as an indication of a capability of a card that should be guided by the card guide path and with an intention to employ the end face portion with a card guide base portion, that comprises a preselected color non-indicative of the capability of the card, to comprise one or more portions of the card guide path;
• maintaining an engagement of the card guide base portion with a chassis contemporaneously with the step of choosing the color from the group of available colors for the end face portion of the card guide path;
• maintaining the engagement of the card guide base portion with the chassis contemporaneously with a connecting of the end face portion with the card guide base portion;
• and
• changing the color in the group of available colors, as an indication of a second capability of a second card that should be guided by the card guide path, for the end face portion without decoupling the card guide base portion from the chassis.

A method, comprising the steps of:

• choosing any one of a red colored card guide end face portion and a non-red colored card guide end face portion for employment wit a first preformed card guide base portion, that is connected by a preformed connecting member with a second preformed card guide base portion in a preformed side-by-side relationship component engageable with a chassis, to comprise a portion of a card guide path;
• and
• integrally forming the first preformed card guide base portion, the second preformed card guide base portion, and the preformed connecting member;
• the any one of the red colored card guide end face portion and the non-red colored card guide end face portion detachably connectable with the first card guide base portion contemporaneously with engagement of the first card guide base portion with the chassis.
