A retaining device for expansion cards includes a retaining bracket (3)
and a computer rear panel (4). The retaining bracket includes a pressing
body (32), two operating arms (34) extending from respective opposite
ends of the pressing body, and two pairs of pivots (36). Each operating
arm has a resilient pressing finger (346), and a locking detent (348)
formed at a distal end of the pressing finger. The rear panel includes a first
plate (40), and a second plate (42) defining two openings (44).
The pivots of the retaining bracket are pivotably mounted to the second plate of
the rear panel. The retaining bracket sandwiches a slot cover (11) of each
expansion card with the first plate. The locking detents are snappingly engaged
with the second plate in the openings.
