A holding device (10) includes an elongated base (12) and two raised platforms (14, 16) respectively position at two opposite ends thereof. A central cavity (27) is formed in the base for reception of the protrusion portion (62) of the I/O connector (60) therein, and two retaining holes (17) respectively provided approximate or in the platforms extend perpendicular to the holding device (10) for reception of the corresponding screws (50), respectively. The holding device (10) can be attached to and hold the slide latch (30) by its resilience to combine these two components as one unit, and two screws (50) are also temporarily retained in the retaining holes (17) of the holding device (10) by the resilience of the holding device. Therefore, the operator of the computer manufacturer can hold this pre-assembled unit by one hand, and use the screw driver by another hand to rotationally insert the screws (50) into the screw holes (64) in the corresponding I/O connector (60) for fastening the slide latch (30) and the connector (60) to the backpanel of the computer case.
