1. A circuit board, suitable for inserting an expansion card, wherein the expansion card comprises a positioning part, and the circuit board comprises:
a board body;
a slot, disposed on the board body;
a release assembly, movably disposed beside the slot along a first direction, and comprising:
a release body, comprising a blocking part suitable for limiting the positioning part;
a blocking member, pivotally connected to the release body; and
an elastic member, connected between the release body and the blocking member; and
a transmission mechanism, comprising a linkage part and a force applying part that are linked with each other, wherein the linkage part is connected to the release assembly, wherein
when the force applying part receives an external force, the linkage part moves to move the release assembly toward the first direction, the elastic member returns to an original position to drive the blocking member to push against the positioning part to move out of the blocking part and to be located at a release position continuously, so as to release limiting of the positioning part by the blocking part.
