Abstract
A PCI card fastening device for fastening a PCI card to a chassis includes a latching plate fixed to the PCI card, a latching element slidably fixed to the chassis and a locking element. The latching element includes a latching hole and a latching portion. The locking element is rotatably fixed to the latching element, the locking element includes a pressing board and a hook, the hook includes a securing block. The latching plate is latched to the latching portion, the securing block is latched in the latching hole to latch the locking element to the latching element. After the securing block is released from the latching hole, the pressing board moves away from the latching element to release the latching plate between the pressing arm and the latching element.

A PCI card fastening device for fastening a PCI card to a chassis, the PCI card fastening device comprising:
- a latching plate fixed to the PCI card;
- a latching element slidably fixed to the chassis, the latching element including a main body, a latching portion protruding from an end of the main body, and a U-shaped mounting board protruding from the end of the main body and surrounding the latching portion, the mounting board comprising two opposite mounting sections and a connecting section connecting the mounting sections, each mounting section defining a latching hole;
- a locking element rotatably fixed to the latching element, the locking element including a pressing board and two hooks protruding from the pressing board, each hook including a pressing arm and a securing block;
- wherein the latching plate is latched to the latching portion, the securing block of each hook is latched in one of the latching holes to latch the locking element to the latching element so the latching plate is latched between the pressing board and the latching element to latch the PCI card to the chassis;
- after the pressing arm is pressed to cause the securing blocks to be released from the latching holes, the pressing board rotates relative to the latching element, allowing the latching plate to be released from the latching portion to detach the PCI card from the chassis.
