What is claimed is: 1. A mounting apparatus for one or more expansion cards, each of the expansion cards comprising a slot cover, the mounting apparatus comprising: a chassis having a rear panel, the rear panel defining a plurality of slots for receiving the slot covers, and forming a support plate
What is claimed is: 1. A mounting apparatus for one or more expansion cards, each of the expansion cards comprising a slot cover, the mounting apparatus comprising: a chassis having a rear panel, the rear panel defining a plurality of slots for receiving the slot covers, and forming a support plate, a securing slot defined in the rear panel; a retaining bracket detachably seated on the support plate, the retaining bracket comprising a pressing plate and a main body perpendicular to the pressing plate, a securing member extending outward from the main body, for engaging in the securing slot, a pair of tabs respectively extending downward and then backward from two opposite ends of the pressing plate, and each of the tabs and the pressing plate together defining therebetween a sliding slot configured for the support plate sliding therein when the retaining bracket is attached to the support plate whereby the pressing plate secures the slot cover on the support plate; and a top cover mounted on the chassis, the top cover having a downward extending flange configured for cooperating with the real panel for sandwiching the main body of the retaining bracket therebetween. 2. The mounting apparatus for expansion cards as claimed in claim 1, wherein the retaining bracket is pivotally attached to the support plate of the rear panel before the support plate slides in the sliding slots. 3. The mounting apparatus for expansion cards as claimed in claim 2, wherein the support plate defines a pivot slot at an end portion thereof and the retaining bracket forms a pivot portion engaging in the pivot slot. 4. The mounting apparatus for expansion cards as claimed in claim 3, wherein the pivot portion is formed as an open cylinder-shaped member. 5. The mounting apparatus for expansion cards as claimed in claim 4, wherein a distal edge of the pivot portion is turned up forming a guiding part, for guiding the pivot portion to engage in the pivot slot. 6. The mounting apparatus for expansion cards as claimed in claim 3, wherein one of the tabs is adjacent the pivot portion of the retaining bracket, and a gap is defined between the one of the tabs and the pivot portion, for providing a space for the movement of the retaining bracket when it is rotated. 7. The mounting apparatus for expansion cards as claimed in claim 1, wherein an opening is defined under the securing slots of the rear panel, and the main body of the retaining bracket is placed to cover the opening. 8. The mounting apparatus for expansion cards as claimed in claim 7, wherein the retaining bracket further comprises a blocking tab extending outward from the main body of the retaining bracket, the blocking tab is blocked by an edge of the opening, for preventing the retaining bracket from over-rotating. 9. A mounting apparatus for one or more expansion cards, each of the expansion cards comprising a slot cover having a tab, the mounting apparatus comprising: a chassis having a rear panel, the rear panel defining a plurality of slots for receiving the slot covers, and forming an outward extending support plate for placement of the tab of the slot cover thereon, the support plate defining a pivot slot; and a retaining bracket seated on the support plate, the retaining bracket forming a pivot portion at an end portion thereof for pivotally engaging into the pivot slot, a tab bent down from the retaining bracket to define a holding space therebetween, wherein when the retaining bracket is pivoted down along the rear panel toward the support plate to a horizontal position and then slides along a direction perpendicular to the rear panel, the tab holds the support plate in the holding space. 10. The mounting apparatus for expansion cards as claimed in claim 9, wherein the retaining bracket comprises a main body and a pressing plate perpendicular to the main body, and the pressing plate is placed on the support plate of the rear panel for sandwiching the tab of the slot cover therebetween. 11. The mounting apparatus for expansion cards as claimed in claim 10, wherein a pair of securing slots is defined in the rear panel, and a pair of securing members extends outward from the main body of the retaining bracket, for engaging in the securing slots respectively. 12. The mounting apparatus for expansion cards as claimed in claim 9, wherein the pivot portion is formed as an open cylinder-shaped member. 13. The mounting apparatus for expansion cards as claimed in claim 12, wherein a distal edge of the pivot portion is turned up forming a guiding part, for guiding the pivot portion to engage in the pivot slot. 14. The mounting apparatus for expansion cards as claimed in claim 10, wherein an opening is defined above the slots of the rear panel and covered by the main body, and the retaining bracket further comprises a blocking tab extending from the retaining bracket, the blocking tab blocked by an edge of the opening, for preventing the retaining bracket from over-rotating. 15. The mounting apparatus for expansion cards as claimed in claim 9, further comprising a top cover mounted on the chassis, the top cover having a flange extending theredown, and the retaining bracket sandwiched between the flange of the top cover and the rear panel of the chassis. 16. The mounting apparatus for expansion cards as claimed in claim 9, wherein the support plate comprises a free edge, the tab is bent down and then backward from the retaining bracket to form a sliding slot for the free edge of the support plate sliding therein. 17. A mounting apparatus for an expansion card, comprising: a panel defining an opening with a support plate located at one edge of the opening, a first securing portion formed adjacent an opposite edge of the opening; and a retaining bracket attached to one end portion of the support plate, the retaining bracket being pivotable about an axis perpendicular to the panel and slidable along a direction perpendicular to the panel, the retaining bracket comprising a pressing plate corresponding to the support plate, and a main body corresponding to the opening and forming a second securing portion corresponding to the first securing portion, wherein when the retaining bracket is pivoted about the axis toward the support plate and then slid along the direction toward the panel, the first securing portion engages with the second securing portion for securing the retaining member in a lock position where the pressing plate and the support plate cooperatively defines a space for engagingly sandwiching a slot cover of the expansion card therebetween. 18. The mounting apparatus of claim 17, wherein the first securing portion is a securing slot, and the second securing portion is a securing tab bent from the main body, the securing tab being inserted into the securing slot in the direction perpendicular to the panel when the retaining bracket slides along the direction toward the panel. 19. The mounting apparatus of claim 18, further comprising another panel attached to the panel configured for sandwiching the main body of the retaining bracket therebetween thereby preventing the second securing portion from disengaging from the first securing portion.
