ABSTRACT:
A mounting system for mounting an expansion card inside a computer chassis includes a mounting bracket having a combination board mounting clip and chassis mounting tab formed as an integral unit in which the bracket releasebly fastens to a corner of the expansion card. The expansion card has a bottom edge connector for plugging into an expansion card socket at the base of the computer chassis inside the expansion slot. The computer chassis also has a removeable cover plate on a panel of the chassis for shielding the expansion slot. The board mounting clip releasably fastens to the expansion card by engaging the opposite faces of the board in a continuous frictional means of attachment without the use of external fastening means. The chassis mounting tab is arranged so that when the expansion card is plugged into the expansion card socket, a portion of the chassis mounting tab automatically registers with the fastener for the cover plate so that the fastener is usable to fasten the tab to a portion of the chassis adjacent the cover plate, with the cover plate providing a separate means of shielding the expansion slot, independently of the bracket on the expansion card.
