Abstract
A chassis includes a number of fixing apparatuses, which enables various motherboards with different mounting holes layouts to be selectively mounted in the chassis. Each of the fixing apparatuses includes a base member secured to the chassis, and a fastening member rotatably connected to the base. The fastening member defines a fastening hole extending through an end of the fastening member. Each of the fixing apparatuses is rotatable between a fastening position and an interference avoiding position. To mount one of the motherboards, some of the fastening members are rotated to the fastening-ready positions to align the fastening holes of the fastening members with the corresponding mounting holes of the motherboard, and other fastening members are rotated to the interference-avoiding position to avoid interfering with the motherboard.
