The panel includes a plurality of catches (21) and a pair of stoppers (23). The support plate includes a plurality of latches (44) and a fixing hole (46) corresponding the apertures of the motherboard respectively, and a plurality of catch openings (43) for engagingly receiving the catches of the panel to secure the support plate to the panel.
