Abstract

A main board assembly adapted to mount an expansion element is provided. The expansion element includes an electrical connection portion. One end of the electrical connection portion includes a buckling portion. The main board assembly includes a main board, a shielding board, and an operating member. The main board includes a slot and a buckling member. The slot is adapted for insertion of the electrical connection portion. The buckling member is movably disposed at one end of the slot, and is adapted to buckle the buckling portion. The shielding board is disposed on one side of the main board and includes an opening. The operating member includes a first end and a second end. The first end is coupled to the buckling member, and the second end extends through the opening to one side of the shielding board away from the main board.

Claims (15)
