A flexible input/output (I/O) expansion card connection and communication technique are provided. The flexible I/O expansion card is, in some examples, a mezzanine expansion card that may be a single width mezzanine expansion card, a double width expansion card, or a quad width expansion card. Multiple connectors on a mainboard provide a slot to receive plug in (insertion) of an expansion card. A slot is associated with a communication bus (e.g., Peripheral Component Interconnect (PCI)) established between the expansion card and an associated processor. The expansion card (or more than one expansion card) may be inserted in multiple orientations with respect to the multiple connectors. Automatic adjustment of communication on the communication bus may be implemented via one or more hardware level and/or software assisted translations to allow the mezzanine expansion card to function in a normal or a reverse (180 degrees relative to normal) orientation.

A chassis device adapted for an expansion device is provided and includes a case, a base and a latch. The case includes an avoiding portion. The base is disposed on the case. At least one accommodating portion is formed on the base. The latch includes at least one pivoting portion, a first abutting portion and a second abutting portion. The at least one pivoting portion is movably disposed through the at least one accommodating portion. The latch is slidable between a locking position and a non-locking position. The first abutting portion and the second abutting portion respectively abut against the case and the expansion device when the latch is located at the locking position, and the avoiding portion allows the latch to pivot when the latch is located at the non-locking position. Besides, a server including the aforementioned chassis device is provided.

A fixing device for fixing a display card on a circuit board, includes a backplane and a support bracket. The backplane includes a substrate plate, and a first engaging part. The substrate plate is fixed on the display card. The first engaging part is disposed on the substrate plate. The support bracket includes at least one support leg and a second engaging part. The support leg includes a first end and a second end. The first end is connected with the circuit board. The second engaging part is connected with the second end and engaged with the first engaging part.

An electrical connector includes an insulating body having a bottom wall, an accommodating cavity provided above the bottom wall, and two side walls at left and right sides of the accommodating cavity. Each side wall has a reserved slot running through the corresponding side wall in a left-right direction and in communication with the accommodating cavity. The insulating body has an oblique surface at a bottom portion of the reserved slot, which is provided obliquely downward and outward, and has an inner edge and an outer edge. The outer edge is lower than a top surface of the bottom wall. Each side wall is further concavely provided with multiple notches at front and back sides of the corresponding reserved slot. Each notch runs along the left-right direction and upward through the corresponding side wall. A lower edge of each notch is higher than the corresponding oblique surface.

The present disclosure provides a fixing device for fixing an external electronic component on a motherboard in a chassis. The fixing device includes a fixing block and a telescopic block. The fixing block is fixed on the chassis. One end of the telescopic block is slidably mounted in the fixing block, the other end protrudes from the fixing block and holds the electronic component. A chassis including the above-described fixing device to hold electronic components of different sizes is also provided.

An electrical connection system can include a cage and/or a corresponding cable. The cage can be formed by walls and define faces on the top, bottom, right, left, front, and rear. A rear portion can house a receiving portion of a connector interface, which can be engaged via insertion of a module through the front face, or alternately by insertion of a plug through the top face. The cable at a terminating end can include the plug, which may include a vertical upright column and a horizontal base that includes an insertion portion of the connector interface. The cable at an originating end can include another instance of the receiving portion of the connector interface. A retainer can be provided to retain the plug in engagement with the receiving portion of the connector in the cage. The retainer can include a cover or other structure on the cable and/or cage.

Described herein is an infrastructure management device. In accordance with one aspect, the infrastructure management device includes at least one communication interface to connect to and provide power to at least one information technology (IT) device, and communicate with at least one other infrastructure management device. The infrastructure management device may further include one or more processors and one or more non-transitory machine-readable media comprising instructions configured to cause at least one of the one or more processors to perform operations to manage the IT device.

A bracket for mounting a processor and a support structure for receiving bracket-supported processors for cluster computing are provided. In some embodiments, a bracket may be configured to receive a processor and fasten the processor to the bracket. The bracket may be configured to mount the processor to a support structure. The support structure may be configured to receive an array of brackets. The support structure may be configured to be stacked in combination with additional support structures.

A chassis structure including a box body is provided. The box body includes a main plate and a plurality of side plates. The main plate includes a hollow region and a bent component adjoining to the hollow region, wherein the bent component includes a folded edge connected to the hollow region. The side plates surround a periphery of the main plate and define an accommodating space. Therefore, manufacturing costs are saved, a manufacturing process is simplified, and smoothness and neatness in appearance are maintained.
