In a support frame of an interface card module, two module locks are disposed thereon, both the support frame and the module locks having enlarged operational holes for easy operation for a user. To install the interface card module on a housing of an electronic device, the module locks are pushed and moved by the housing and withstood by the housing. The user may directly operate the module locks through the enlarged holes to disengage the module locks from the housing and to uninstall the interface card module. The interface card module further uses a card lock pivoted on the support frame for locking the interface card at the support frame.

An electronic device, comprising: a housing;an interface card module, comprising: a support frame comprising two first holes, the support frame adapted for being mounted on the housing;a riser card mounted on the support frame and comprising a slot; andtwo module locks moveably mounted on positions of the support frame corresponding to the two first holes, the two module locks adapted for being withstood by the housing for engaging the support frame on the housing and installing the interface card module on the housing, the two module locks operatable through the two first holes so as to move relative to the support frame to disengage from the withstanding of the housing; andan interface card adapted to be installed into the slot of the riser card. 13. The electronic device of claim 12, wherein the interface card module further comprises a card lock mounted on the support frame and pivotable to a locking position or a release position with respect to the support frame. 14. The electronic device of claim 13, wherein the card lock comprises a fastening groove in which the interface card extends and is retained therein when the card lock is pivoted to the locking position with respect to the support frame. 15. The electronic device of claim 14, wherein the card lock comprises an elastic hook and the support frame comprises an opening at a pivot route of the card lock and wherein the elastic hook is adapted to engage with the opening for restraining pivoting of the card lock as the card lock is pivoted to the locking position with respect to the support frame. 16. The electronic device of claim 13, wherein the support frame comprises a wall located at a pivot route of the card lock on the support frame and adapted for retaining the card lock at the release position. 17. The electronic device of claim 12, wherein each module lock comprises a lock body comprising a second hole corresponding to the first hole of the support frame. 18. The electronic device of claim 17, wherein the lock body further comprises a guiding rod, each module lock further comprising an elastic element disposed between the guiding rod of the lock body and the support frame and adapted to be compressed by the lock body and have a restoring force when the module lock moves relative to the support frame. 19. The electronic device of claim 17, wherein the lock body further comprises an engaging part and the housing of the electronic device comprises a protrusion adapted for pushing the engaging part and moving the module lock relative to the support frame. 20. The electronic device of claim 12, wherein the interface card module is adapted to be installed on the housing along a first direction and the two module locks are adapted to be pushed to move toward a second direction by the housing and withstood by the housing when the interface card module is installed on the housing such that the movement of the interface card module along the first direction is restricted. 21.
