The backplane includes a backplane surface and a stiffener fixed on the backplane surface, and the stiffener is locked by the fastener which is integrated with said backplane surface and is formed on said backplane surface. In the present invention, because the stiffener is locked on the backplane by the fastener formed on the backplane surface, and the fastener is integrated with the backplane, the fastener is tightly fixed on the backplane and is difficult to loosen.
