A mounting device for securing an expansion card with a securing clip to a computer enclosure, comprising:
- a panel comprising a supporting member, a protrusion formed on the panel adjacent the supporting member;
- and
- a retention member comprising a rolled tab, the rolled tab pivotably engaged with the supporting member, at least one securing hole being defined in the rolled tab;
- wherein when the retention member is rotated to secure the securing clip on the panel, the protrusion is received in the securing hole.
A mounting device assembly, comprising:
- a panel having a supporting member protruding therefrom;
- an expansion card having a securing clip;
- and
- a retention member comprising a fixing portion, and a curved tab pivotably hooking the supporting member and suspending therefrom, wherein the retention member is pivoted about the supporting member, so that the securing clip of the expansion card is sandwiched between the fixing portion of the retention member and the panel.
A mounting assembly for an expansion card, the mounting assembly comprising:
- a first panel defining an opening with a flange located at one side of the opening, a support member formed on the first panel at an opposite side of the opening;
- a retention member located at the opening, and comprising a rolled portion engaging around the support member to pivotably attach the retention member to the first panel, and a fixing portion being pivotable with the retention member between a locked position where the fixing portion abuts the flange for sandwiching a securing clip of the expansion card therebetween and an unlocked position where the fixing portion locates away from the flange for releasing the securing clip;
- an interlocking device formed between the rolled portion and the supporting member for retaining the retention member in said locked position;
- and
- a second panel attached to the first panel to lock the retention member in said locked position.
