Expansion card retention apparatus
An expansion card retention apparatus includes a rear panel (30), a retention bracket (10) for attaching expansion cards (50) to the rear panel, and a thumbscrew (18). A bent plate (34) is bent perpendicularly outwardly from the rear panel. The retention bracket includes a first and a second plate (12, 14) joined at a common edge. A plurality of retention tabs (16) extends from the common edge, for restricting movement of the expansion cards in directions perpendicular to the rear panel when the first plate is in a locked position. The second plate engages with the expansion cards, for restricting movement of the expansion cards in directions parallel to the rear panel. A first and a second hook (321, 322) are formed inwardly from the rear panel, for movably clamping the first plate therebetween. The thumbscrew fixedly attaches the first plate to the rear panel in the locked position.
