摘要

The invention relates to a mounting cage (1) for a computer having a backplane (2), wherein the mounting cage (1) has an upper part (4) and a lower part (3), and the upper part (4) or the lower part (3) has at least two side walls (5), wherein the backplane (2) is attached to the mounting cage (1) without screws. The backplane (2) is connected to the mounting cage (1) by plug-connection or clamp-connection. The upper part (4) and the lower part (3) each have at least one fork-like or u-shaped receiving rail (6), wherein the receiving rails (6) are arranged in a location where the backplane (2) comes into contact with the upper part (4) or lower part (3), and therefore the backplane (2) can be plugged into the receiving rail (6) and as a result can be fixed to the mounting cage (1). The invention also relates to a method for fitting and removing a mounting cage (1) of the above-mentioned type.
