Abstract
An expansion card retention assembly (100) is provided. The retention assembly includes an expansion frame (11) and a latching device (12). The expansion frame includes an expansion seat (111), and the expansion seat is configured for receiving an expansion card (20) therein. The latching device is positioned adjacent to one end portion of the expansion frame. The latching device includes a mounted member (14), a locking member (13), and a spring member. The mounted member is fixed relatively to the expansion frame. The locking member is operable to rotate away from the mounted member, so as to abut against an expansion card bracket of the expansion card toward the expansion seat of the expansion frame. The spring member is mounted between the mounted member and the locking member to bias the locking member away from the mounted member.
