ABSTRACT:
A mounting apparatus for securing expansion cards (30) with cover plates (34) to a computer includes a chassis (10), a bracket (40) and a mounting member (50). The chassis includes a rear panel (14). The bracket includes a pair of guiding portions (44) for slidably receiving the mounting member. Each guiding portion defines a locating aperture (446) therein. The mounting member includes a main portion (52) and a pair of operating members (59). The main portion includes a base (58), and first and second sidewalls (53, 54). The second sidewall includes a pair of mounting holes (546). Each operating member includes a protrusion (596) and a fastening portion (598). When the operating members are rotated, the fastening portions engage in the locating apertures, the protrusions engage in the mounting holes, the main portion thereby urges the cover plates. Thus the expansion cards are mounted in the chassis.
