    power supply gold finger question

    I have this power supply board from a old telephone server/switch, thingie..lol. I don't what it actually did, but had some real nice boards with a gold cap Motorola chip soldered on.,

    Anyway, the power supply has a gold finger, almost like a ide slot on it. Refer to the picture. Should I snap them off and put them in with my gold fingers or gold ends?

    Same question as olddude. It's like a solid bar of gold fingers, not a broken line.
