Claim 21:
22. A computing device comprising:
a chassis;
a motherboard disposed inside the chassis, the motherboard including a motherboard connector;
an expansion card disposed inside the chassis; and
a device disposed inside the chassis and coupled to the motherboard, the device including:
a riser board inserted into the motherboard connector such that the riser board is perpendicular to the motherboard, the riser board having a riser board connector that receives a first edge of the expansion card such that the riser board is perpendicular to the expansion card and the expansion card is parallel to the motherboard; and
a riser bracket coupled to the riser board, the riser bracket including a body portion and a latch rotatable between a first position and a second position, the body portion being coupled to the riser board and spaced apart from the expansion card, 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, the expansion card is removable from the riser board connector, and
wherein when the latch is in the second position, 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 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.
