A circuit board retaining assembly for coupling a component to a chassis without concern for the loss of mounting hardware, such as for coupling computer hardware to a computer chassis, and for doing so particularly when the component is in operation. The retaining assembly includes a mounting bracket for mounting the assembly to the chassis, a lever extending from the mounting bracket, and a lever biasing member for pivotally biasing the lever away from the chassis when the component is installed in or removed from the chassis. The mounting bracket includes at least one lever opening for receiving the lever. The lever includes a first end for releasably coupling the component to the chassis. The lever-biasing member is disposed between the mounting bracket and the lever to bias the lever away from the chassis when it is disengaged from the chassis.
A retaining assembly for releasably coupling a component to a chassis, the retaining assembly comprising:
A retaining assembly for releasably coupling a component to a chassis, the chassis including at least one mounting opening, the retaining assembly comprising:
