Abstract
A mounting device for an interface card includes a main unit housing and a holding plate. The holding plate is rotatably coupled to the main unit housing and positionable in an open position to allow an interface card to be installed, and in a closed position to secure an interface card. When an interface card is installed into a socket on the motherboard of the computer, a portion of an attach plate of the interface card extends between the locating plate and the holding plate, thereby securing the interface card. The attach plate of the interface card may also extend through a lower opening of the housing, which receives therethrough a portion of the card's attach plate.
