Original Abstract Submitted
A frame module is configured to be detachably disposed on a casing of a server and configured to secure an expansion card. One side of the expansion card includes an electrical connector portion and an engagement recessed portion arranged adjacent to each other. The frame module includes a main frame, a riser card and a fastening assembly. The main frame includes a first plate and a second plate connected to each other. The riser card is disposed on the first plate and includes a connection slot configured for the electrical connector portion to be inserted to. The fastening assembly is slidably disposed on the first plate and includes a block portion. When the fastening assembly is in a fastening position, the block portion presses against the engagement recessed portion. When the fastening assembly is in a releasing position, the block portion is removed from the engagement recessed portion.
