Abstract
A device with a processing unit and a storage device also has a base, a cover including a plurality of guiding holes, a plurality of receiving members, an installation member, a plurality of first sensing devices, and a plurality of second sensing devices. The processing unit determines by a specific one of the first sensing devices corresponding to a specific one of the receiving members that the installation member is to acquire a fastening element from the specific receiving member. Then, the processing unit determines by a specific one of the second sensing devices corresponding to a specific one of the guiding holes that the installation member is to move towards the specific guiding hole. The processing unit controls the installation member to fasten the fastening element to an electronic device through the specific guiding hole when the specific first sensing device corresponds to the specific second sensing device.
