ABSTRACT:
An expansion card support structure including a card receptacle having a support wall having an expansion slot and a card insertion port open to the support wall. An expansion card has been removably inserted into the card receptacle through the card insertion port. The expansion card has a substrate and a connection bracket covering the one expansion slot. A lock member is provided in the card receptacle. The lock member removably secures the connection bracket to the support wall. The lock member is supported in the card receptacle to rotate between first and second positions. The lock member contacts the connection bracket while remaining at the first position, thereby to lock the expansion card in the card receptacle. It is spaced apart from the connection bracket while remaining at the second position, thereby to release the expansion card from the card receptacle. It contacts the connection bracket and is elastically deformed while remaining at the first position, thereby to clamp the connection bracket in cooperation with the support wall.
