1. A device for supporting an expansion card electrically connected to a motherboard, the device comprising:
a riser board having a riser board connector that is configured to receive the expansion card, the riser board being configured to be inserted into a motherboard connector of the motherboard such that the riser board is perpendicular to the motherboard, the riser board being perpendicular to the expansion card when a first edge of the expansion card is received by the riser board connector; and
a riser bracket coupled to the riser board, the riser bracket including:
a body portion coupled to the riser board such that the body portion is spaced apart from the riser board connector; and
a latch rotatably coupled to the body portion, the latch being configured to rotate between a first position and a second position, the latch having a first leg rotatably coupled to the body portion, a second leg extending perpendicularly from a distal end of the first leg, and a lip extending perpendicularly from a distal end of the second leg toward the first leg,

wherein when the latch is in the first position and the first edge of the expansion card is received by the riser board connector, the expansion card is removable from the riser board connector, and
wherein when the latch is in the second position and the first edge of the expansion card is received by the riser board connector, the first leg of the latch is perpendicular to the riser board and the second leg of the latch is parallel to the riser board, and the latch engages an opposing second edge of the expansion card such that at least a portion of the second edge of the expansion card rests on the lip of the latch and is positioned between the first leg of the latch and the lip, such that the riser board and the second leg of the latch are positioned on opposite sides of the expansion card, and such that the expansion card is not removable from the riser board connector.
