A mounting apparatus for mounting a plurality of expansion cards with cover plates includes a rear panel, a fixing member and a locking member. Each of the cover plates has a bent portion. The rear panel defines an opening. A supporting flange for supporting the bent portions extends outwardly from the rear panel at a bottom side of the opening. A through hole is defined in the rear panel. The fixing member is slidably mounted on an inner surface of the rear panel. A locking hole corresponding to the through hole is defined in the fixing member. The locking member includes a pressing part for pressing the bent portions, and a securing part. A hook corresponding to the through hole is formed on the securing part. A distal end of the pressing part is located on a distal end of the supporting flange of the rear panel.

I claim: 1. A mounting apparatus for mounting a plurality of expansion cards with cover plates to a computer enclosure, each of the cover plates having a bent portion, the mounting apparatus comprising: a rear panel defining an opening, a supporting flange for supporting the bent portions of the expansion cards extending outwardly from the rear panel at a bottom side of the opening, a through hole defined in the rear panel above the opening; a fixing member slidably mounted on an inner surface of the rear panel above the opening, a locking hole corresponding to the through hole of the rear panel defined in the fixing member; a locking member comprising a pressing part for pressing the bent portions of the expansion cards, and a securing part, a hook corresponding to the through hole of the rear panel and the locking hole of the locking member formed on the securing part; and an elastic member with one end being connected to the fixing member, the other end being connected to the rear panel, configured to bias the fixing member to slide to make an edge of the fixing member engage with the hook of the locking member through the through hole; wherein the edge of the fixing member is perpendicular to the sliding direction of the fixing member; and wherein a pivot shaft extends downwardly from the distal edge of the supporting flange opposite to a connecting edge of the supporting flange connected to the bottom side of the opening, a pivotable portion extends downwardly from an edge of the pressing part opposite to a connecting edge of the pressing part connected to the securing part of the locking member, the pivotable portion of the locking member pivotably sleeves the pivot shaft of the supporting flange. 2. The mounting apparatus as claimed in claim 1, wherein an upper portion of the rear panel at an outer surface defines a recess, the opening is defined in a lower portion of the recess. 3. The mounting apparatus as claimed in claim 2, wherein the fixing member comprises a body and an operation part extending from an end of the body, a pair of through holes is defined in an upper portion of the recess, a pair of locking holes is defined in the body, a pair of hooks extends inwardly from the securing part of the locking member, two rows of limiting tabs extend inwardly from the rear panel for holding the body therein respectively located above the recess and at a top side of the opening. 4. The mounting apparatus as claimed in claim 1, wherein a pair of apertures is defined in the distal end of the supporting flange, a pair of rings is formed at the distal end of the supporting flange of the locking member, the locking member is hanged on the supporting flange via the rings hooking the corresponding apertures. 5. A mounting apparatus for mounting a plurality of expansion cards with cover plates to a computer enclosure, each of the cover plates having a bent portion, the mounting apparatus comprising: a rear panel defining an opening, a supporting flange for supporting the bent portions of the expansion cards extending outwardly from the rear panel at a bottom side of the opening, a through hole defined in the rear panel above the opening; a fixing member slidably mounted on an inner surface of the rear panel above the opening, a locking hole corresponding to the through hole of the rear panel defined in the fixing member; a locking member comprising a pressing part for pressing the bent portions of the expansion cards, and a securing part formed at one end of the pressing part, the locking member pivotably mounted to the supporting flange of the rear panel via the other end of the pressing part, a hook corresponding to the through hole of the rear panel and the locking hole of the fixing member formed on the securing part; and an elastic member with one end being connected to the fixing member, the other end being connected to the rear panel, to bias the fixing member to slide to make an edge of the fixing member engage with the hook of the locking member through the through hole; wherein the edge of the fixing member is perpendicular to the sliding direction of the fixing member; and wherein a pivot shaft extends downwardly from the distal edge of the supporting flange opposite to a connecting edge of the supporting flange connected to the bottom side of the opening, a pivotable portion extends downwardly from an edge of the pressing part opposite to a connecting edge of the pressing part connected to the securing part of the locking member, the pivotable portion of the locking member pivotably sleeves the pivot shaft of the supporting flange. 6. The mounting apparatus as claimed in claim 5, wherein an upper portion of the rear panel at an outer surface defined a recess, the opening is defined in a lower portion of the recess. 7. The mounting apparatus as claimed in claim 6, wherein the fixing member comprises a body and an operation part extending from an end of the body, a pair of through holes is defined in an upper portion of the recess, a pair of locking holes is defined in the body, a pair of hooks extends inwardly from the securing part of the locking member, two rows of limiting tabs extend inwardly from the rear panel for holding the body therein respectively located above the recess and at a top side of the opening. 8. The mounting apparatus as claimed in claim 5, wherein a pair of apertures is defined in the distal end of the supporting flange, a pair of rings is formed at the distal end of the supporting flange of the locking member, the locking member is hanged on the supporting flange via the rings hooking the corresponding apertures. 9. An electronic device comprising: an enclosure of said electronic device capable of accommodating components of said electronic device therein, said enclosure defining a panel at a side thereof; at least one expansion card used to expand function for said electronic device detachably installable in said enclosure against said panel so as to expose a portion thereof from said panel; a locking member capable of removably resting against said panel and said portion of said at least one expansion card so as to secure said at least one expansion card in said enclosure, said locking member removable away from said portion of said at least one expansion card for releasing said at least one expansion card; a fixing member movable to engage with said locking member for securing said locking member in a resting position thereof against said panel and said portion of said at least one expansion card, and to disengage from said locking member for releasing said locking member to be removable out of said resting position thereof; and an elastic member with one end being connected to said fixing member, the other end being connected to said panel, to bias said fixing member to move back to engage with said locking member; and wherein a pivot shaft extends downwardly from the distal edge of the supporting flange opposite to a connecting edge of the supporting flange connected to the bottom side of the opening, a pivotable portion extends downwardly from an edge of the pressing part opposite to a connecting edge of the pressing part connected to the securing part of the locking member, the pivotable portion of the locking member pivotably sleeves the pivot shaft of the supporting flange. 10.
