It's locked in place by the Mac Pro's sliding retaining bar at the PCIe connector. (Although personally I'd never use that anyway.) Like typical retail cards, it does not have the support bar/extension (typically done on heavy OEM cards for extra protection during system shipping). The Mac version does not have the connector for a Component Video out dongle present on GTX 285 PC models.
