A mounting apparatus assembly comprising:

• a panel comprising a mounting frame, the mounting frame having a support member supporting an end portion of a slot cover of an expansion card;
• a pressing body pivotably mounted above the support member, the pressing body comprising a pressing portion pressing the end portion of the slot cover against the support member;
• and
• a pair of flexible retention members located at opposite sides of the mounting frame, each of the retention members comprising a retention portion engaging with a respective end of the pressing body to retain the pressing body in place;
• wherein when the retention members are flexed outwardly, the pressing body is rotated away from the end portion whereby the end portion is released.

The mounting apparatus assembly comprising:

• a panel having a mounting frame structure thereon, said mounting frame structure including a plurality of spaced expansion slots, along a lengthwise direction of said frame structure, with a support member above said expansion slots;
• at least an expansion card including a slot cover with an end portion seated upon said support member;
• a pressing body pivotally mounted relative to the panel and above said support member and defining thereof a pivot axis extending along said lengthwise direction, the pressing body including a pressing portion cooperating with said support member to sandwich said end portion therebetween;
• and
• at least one retention member fixed to the panel and being flexible in said lengthwise direction, and defining a retention portion downwardly pressing against a portion of said pressing body when said retention member is in a normal condition.
