A mounting apparatus for mounting expansion cards (30) with cover plates (35) to a computer enclosure includes a rear panel (14) and a fixing member (40). The cover plate has a bent portion (37). The rear panel has a card cage (25) which includes a bent wall (27). The rear panel defines an opening (16) therein. Two slices (18) extend from the rear panel at both sides of the opening. A first positioning means (22) is formed on the slice. The fixing member pivotably mounted to the rear panel and rotated through the opening includes a bottom wall (42), a rear wall (46) and two tabs (50) extending forwardly from both sides of the rear wall. A second positioning means (54) is formed on each of the tabs. A plurality of elastic pressing means (58) is formed on the bottom wall corresponding to the bent portions of the cover plates.

What is claimed is: 1. A mounting apparatus for mounting a plurality of expansion cards with cover plates to a computer enclosure, each of the cover plates having an elongated portion and a bent portion, the mounting apparatus comprising: a rear panel having a card cage, the card cage comprising a base wall to support the cover plate, and a bent wall, the rear panel defining an opening therein above the card cage, at least one slice extending from the rear panel at one side of the opening, a first positioning means being formed on said slice; and a fixing member pivotably mounted to the rear panel and rotated through the opening, the fixing member comprising a bottom wall, a rear wall extending upwardly from a rear side of the bottom wall, and at least one tab extending forwardly from one side of the rear wall, a second positioning means corresponding to the first positioning means formed on said tab, a plurality of elastic pressing means corresponding to the bent portions of the cover plates formed on the bottom wall; wherein in assembly, said first positioning means engages with said second positioning means, said pressing means press the bent portions, the expansion cards are secured to the rear panel; in disassembly, said first positioning means is released from said second positioning means, the fixing member is rotated rearward, the pressing means release the bent portions, the expansion cards are thus removed from the rear panel. 2. The mounting apparatus as described in claim 1, wherein a pair of said slices extends from the rear panel at both sides of the opening, said first positioning means comprises a positioning protrusion protrudes inwardly from an upper portion of each of the slices. 3. The mounting apparatus as described in claim 2, wherein a pair of said tabs extends forwardly from both sides of a middle portion of the rear wall, said second positioning means comprises a positioning hole defined in an upper portion of each of the tabs. 4. The mounting apparatus as described in claim 3, wherein a pivot hole is defined in a lower portion of each of the slices, a pivot post being received in the pivot hole protrudes from a lower portion of each of the tabs. 5. The mounting apparatus as described in claim 1, wherein the fixing member further comprises a slanting front wall extending from a front side of the bottom wall to be securely attached to a middle portion of the rear wall. 6. A mounting apparatus for mounting a plurality of expansion cards with cover plates to a computer enclosure, each of the cover plates having an elongated portion and a bent portion, the mounting apparatus comprising: a rear panel having a card cage, the card cage comprising a base wall to support the cover plate, and a bent wall, the rear panel defining an opening therein above the card cage, a screw hole being defined in the rear panel above the opening, wherein a pair of slices extends from the rear panel at both sides of the opening, a pivot hole is defined in a lower portion of each of the slices; a fixing member having two opposite ends pivotably secured to two opposite edges of the opening of the rear panel and rotated through the opening, the fixing member comprising a bottom wall, a rear wall extending upwardly from a rear side of the bottom wall, a plurality of elastic pressing means corresponding to the bent portions of the cover plates formed on the bottom wall, a locking hole corresponding to the screw hole of the rear panel being defined in an upper portion of the rear wall; and a screw; wherein in assembly, said pressing means press the bent portions, the fixing member is securely attached to the rear panel by the screw being inserted through the locking hole of the fixing member and engaged in the screw hole of the rear panel, the expansion cards are thus secured to the rear panel; in disassembly, the screw is removed from the rear panel and the fixing member, the fixing member is rotated rearward, the pressing means release the bent portions, the expansion cards are thus removed from the rear panel. 7. The mounting apparatus as described in claim 6, wherein a pair of tabs extends forwardly from a middle portion of both sides of the rear wall, a pivot post being received in the pivot hole protrudes from a lower portion of each of the tabs. 8. The mounting apparatus as described in claim 6, wherein the fixing member further comprises a slanting front wall extending from a front side of the bottom wall to be securely attached to a middle portion of the rear wall. 9. The mounting apparatus as described in claim 6, wherein the rear panel is stamped inwardly to form a recess above the opening, the screw hole of the rear panel is defined in the recess. 10. A mounting apparatus for mounting a plurality of expansion cards with cover plates to an enclosure of an electronic device, comprising: a rear panel of said enclosure having a card cage to supportively mount said cover plates thereto, and an opening defined next to said card cage and having a substantially same width as a totally occupied width of said cover plates of said plurality of extension cards upon said card cage; and a fixing member having two opposite ends pivotably secured to two opposite edges of the opening of said rear panel, and comprising a plurality of elastic pressing means corresponding to said cover plates of said plurality of extension cards and a rear wall fully coverable to said opening, said fixing member movable from a position where said cover plates are securely sandwiched between said plurality of pressing means and said card cage and said rear wall covers said opening, to another position where said cover plates are released from said plurality of pressing means and said opening is open due to moving away of said rear wall; wherein said plurality of pressing means is formed on a bottom wall of said fixing member integrally extending from said rear wall, said rear wall of said fixing member extends away from said two opposite ends of said fixing member at a first side of said rear panel of said enclosure and is partially movable across said rear panel from said first side thereof to a second side of said rear panel of said enclosure opposite to said first side thereof, said bottom wall of said fixing member extending away from said rear wall of said fixing member is movable exclusively at said second side. 11. The mounting apparatus as described in claim 10, wherein a front wall integrally extends from said bottom wall and slants toward said rear wall.
