A method of manufacturing a mounting apparatus comprising:
- punching sheet metal to form blanks of a main body and two reinforcing members, wherein a through hole is partially cut out in the blank of the main body, and the blanks of the two reinforcing members are punched from a remainder of the blank of the main body;
- separating the blanks of the two reinforcing members from the blank of the main body;
- bending the blanks of the main body and the two reinforcing members to form the main body having a top surface and a supporting wall extending upward from the top surface, and the reinforcing members, respectively;
- and
- fixing each of the two reinforcing members on the top surface and the supporting wall of the main body;
- wherein the main body comprises a sidewall extending downward from the top surface;
- and wherein each of the two reinforcing members comprises a reinforcing plate, a first fixing plate extending from an edge of the reinforcing member, and a second fixing plate extending from another edge of the reinforcing member, wherein the first fixing plate is fixed on the supporting wall, and wherein the second fixing plate is fixed on the top surface.
