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. The latches are configured to allow the motherboard be slid from a first position to a second position in which the motherboard is engaged with the latches.
