ABSTRACT:
A bracket apparatus having a plurality of protruding fingers is employed for simultaneously making contacts with the attachment brackets of add-on cards, exerting force on the attachment brackets towards the add-on cards' receiving expansion slots, thereby securing the add-on cards in place attached to the expansion slots. The system unit back panel is modified to include an additional cutout orthogonal to the traditional cutouts that allows the fingers to pass through and make contacts with the attachment brackets. Additionally, the bracket apparatus and the back panel further includes complementary fastening features to allow the bracket apparatus to be fastened to the back panel.
