Abstract:
1. A mounting apparatus to selectively fix expansion cards with different lengths, the mounting apparatus comprising: a fixing bracket comprising an end plate for fixing first ends of the expansion cards, and a top plate perpendicularly extending forward from a top end of the end plate, the top plate defining a plurality of positioning holes with different distances from the end plate; a supporting member mounted to the fixing bracket, and slidable in a direction perpendicular to the end plate, the supporting member comprising a support wall, and a first mounting wall perpendicularly extending forwards from a side of the support wall, a positioning pin extending up from the first mounting wall to be selectively engaged in one of the positioning holes to position the supporting member, thereby allowing the support wall to hold a second end, opposite to the first end, of one of the expansion cards with a corresponding length; and a connecting member; wherein the fixing bracket further comprises a side plate perpendicularly connected to the end plate and the top plate, a standoff extends from the side plate, the supporting member further comprises a second mounting wall perpendicularly connected to the support wall and the first mounting wall, the second mounting wall further defines a second slide slot, the standoff is slidably received in the second slide slot of the supporting member, the connecting member is fastened to the standoff to prevent the standoff from disengaging from the second slide slot.
