Just remove the plastic piece from the back and forget about it. I've
installed some SS1/1+ boards in old 3/80 cases (same Campus-1 case as the
SS1 and SS1+ but with a different plastic piece on the back) and things work
fine.

You might find that an SS2 board will run fairly hot in a Campus-1 case
because the SS2 case was a slightly different design from the 3/80, SS1,
SS1+ design to allow for additional cooling. Otherwise there shouldn't be
any problems.

Regards,

Craig.
