ABSTRACT:
An expansion board mounting structure that securely fastens expansion cards within the chassis of a computer is provided. A receptacle is positioned on an interior wall of the computer chassis. The receptacle contains vertical slots into which inserts, connected to expansion cards are inserted. The expansion cards are mechanically attached to the computer chassis at the receptacle found in the rear wall of the computer. Electrical connection is made in the board connecting portion found at the bottom of the computer chassis. The final assembly step requires that a cover be placed over the tops of the vertical slots. This requires the cover to be fastened to the receptacle containing the vertical slots. This attachment of the cover to the receptacle is accomplished without the use of screws or threaded fasteners.
