Described herein is a server that includes a server chassis having a front window for providing access to an interior receptacle of the server chassis. A docking station is located in the interior receptacle. The server also includes a PCIe module coupled to the docking station by a coupling element. The PCIe module protrudes externally from the interior receptacle through the front window in the docked position. The PCIe module can be moved to a plurality of undocked positions while remaining coupled to the docking station.

A riser bracket assembly for supporting at least one expansion card horizontally over a motherboard is disclosed. The riser bracket assembly may support different types of expansion cards. The assembly includes a first component half having a registration feature to mate with a first type of riser board. A second component half is attachable to the first component half. The second component half has a registration feature to mate with a second type of riser board. A riser board has an edge connector insertable into a socket on the motherboard. The riser board includes an expansion card connector connectable to the at least one expansion card. The riser board supports either the first component half or the second component half.

A toolless card/bracket coupling system includes a card bracket base that mounts to a chassis with a chassis mounting configuration, spaced-apart card securing support members extending from the card bracket base, and a toolless card securing subsystem on each of the card securing support members. Each toolless card securing subsystem may move towards a respective card aperture defined by the card while in a securing orientation, engage its respective card aperture and, in response, transition to a coupling orientation that allows that toolless card securing subsystem to move through its respective card aperture and, in response to extending through its respective card aperture and through the card, transition back to the securing orientation to secure the card to the card bracket base via engagement with the card.

A housing includes a base and a mark piece. The base includes a bottom wall and at least one side wall. The at least one side wall is vertically connected to the bottom wall. A height of the side wall exists between a top end of the at least one side wall and the bottom wall. The mark piece is disposed on the bottom wall and extends from the bottom wall in a direction away from the bottom wall. The mark piece has a low scale and a high scale. A distance from the low scale to the bottom wall is less than the height of the side wall. A distance from the high scale to the bottom wall is substantially the same as the height of the side wall.
