ABSTRACT:
An exemplary mounting apparatus for aiding in mounting a plurality of long expansion cards in electrical devices includes a locating member, and a retention member rotatably attached to the locating member. The locating member includes a base wall, a pair of sidewalls, and a top wall. Pairs of guiding rails extend from the base wall for slidably receiving ends of the expansion cards opposite to ends with cover plates. Two pairs of first positioning blocks extend from the top wall. The retention member includes a base plate, a pair of flanges, and a pair of resilient arms. A plurality of retaining tabs extends from the base plate to abut against top edges of the expansion cards. The flanges are rotatably attached to the sidewalls of the locating member. The resilient arms each include a pair of second positioning blocks for engaging with the first positioning blocks of the locating member.
