This is the first time I have seen this warning:
"Due to the reduced length of the PCI EXPRESS bus connector and the
resulting lack of mechanical stability, we strongly advise against
transporting cards installed in a computer, unless its chassis or case
provides a dedicated support to keep the card securely in place in order
to avoid physical damage."
PCI cards might survive not being fastened with a screw, but I can
easily see how a x1 PCIe card would not.
(Are there any cases without screws? Is this just a warning against
transporting a naked motherboard?)
