  • Patent number: 7342809
    Abstract: A mounting apparatus for securing a motherboard (30) defining several locking holes (32) includes a chassis (10), a lever (20) and a tray (40). The chassis includes a bottom panel (11) and a mounting member (14). Several standoffs (17, 18) are arranged at the bottom panel. A locating portion (144) is formed on the mounting member. The lever pivotally mounted on the bottom panel includes a securing end (242). A fixing post (224) protrudes from the lever. The tray supporting the motherboard defines an opening (442) for receiving the fixing post therein. The lever is rotated from an unlocked position to a locked position. The fixing post pushes the tray. The motherboard slides on the bottom panel until the securing end is disposed on the locating portion. The motherboard is thus mounted in the chassis.

  • Patent number: 7330358
    Abstract: A mounting apparatus for mounting a motherboard (10) includes a base (80), an operating member (40) and a supporting tray (20). The base has a plurality of first standoffs (82) formed thereon. The operating member is pivotably attached to the base. The operating member includes a driver (44). The supporting tray is adapted to be attached to the motherboard. The supporting tray defines an opening (291) for receiving the driver therein. The driver is pivoted to engage with the edge of the opening, so that the motherboard moves horizontally to be secured to the first standoffs of the base.
