ABSTRACT:
A retaining device (1) for expansion cards (56) each having a slot cover (60) includes a plate (18) having an expansion card seat (24), a pair of locking members (76), a fastener (90) pivotably attached to the expansion card seat. Two locking members respectively are fixed on the expansion card seat. Each locking member includes a resilient arm (80) having a locking body (81). The fastener includes a pressing plate (104) for pressing the slot covers. Two locking arms (112) extend from the pressing plate engaging with corresponding locking bodies. The fastener further includes a handle (118) and two pushing arms (120). When the handle is pressed downwardly, the pushing arms push the resilient arms to cause the locking bodies to disengage from the locking arms, and the pressing plate can thereupon be released from the slot covers of the expansion cards by operation of the handle.
