US 8,804,343 B2 · Mounting apparatus for expansion card

Abstract

A mounting apparatus for expansion cards includes a cage of a chassis, a bracket secured to the cage, a positioning member, and a circuit board. The cage includes an installation plate. The installation plate is adapted to secure a first end of a first expansion card. The positioning member is removably mounted to the cage and includes a top wall. The top wall is adapted to secure a third end of a second expansion card with a height smaller than the first expansion card. The circuit board is secured to the bracket and is adapted to secure a second end of the first expansion card and a forth end of the second expansion card. A distance between the installation plate and the top wall is substantially equal to an altitude difference between the first expansion card and the second expansion card.
