Abstract
A fixing mechanism which is capable of assembling an expansion card module includes a base, a latch and a resilient component. The expansion card module slidably inserts into the base. The latch pivots to an accommodating portion of the base to switch between a first position and a second position. The latch includes a pressing portion and a pushing portion connected with each other. The pressing portion presses a side of the expansion card module since the latch is switched to the first position. The pushing portion pushes an opposite side of the expansion card module since the latch is switched to the second position, so as to upwardly move the expansion card module relative to the base. The resilient component is located inside the accommodating portion to actuate the latch and drives the latch to stay at the second position.
