[0020] In this embodiment, the electronic assembly 10 includes a chassis 100, a riser card assembly 200, and a display card assembly 300. The chassis 100 includes a fixing bracket 110 and two pins 120. The chassis 100 may, for example, be a server chassis or a server housing. In addition, the display card assembly 300 may, for example, be a Graphics Processing Unit (GPU) assembly; but the present invention is not limited thereto.

[0021] In this embodiment, the riser card assembly 200 includes an assembly bracket 210 and a riser card 220. The assembly bracket 210 includes a bracket body 211 and a handle 212. The handle 212 includes two mount parts 213 and a handheld part 214. The handheld part 214 connects the two mount parts 213. The two mount parts 213 are pivotally connected to opposite sides of the bracket body 211, respectively. The riser card 220 is disposed on the bracket body 211. The bracket body 211 is slidably disposed on the chassis 100 along a first mount direction D1.

[0022] In this embodiment, the display card assembly 300 includes, for example, a tray 310, a display card 320, a restriction cover 330, and a plurality of fasteners 340. The tray 310 is slidably disposed on the chassis 100 along a second mount direction D2. The first mount direction D1 is different from the second mount direction D2. That is, the bracket body 211 of the riser card assembly 200 and the tray 310 of the display card assembly 300 are disposed along different directions in the chassis 100. For example, in this embodiment, the first mounting direction D1 and the second mounting direction D2 are, for instance, perpendicular to each other.

[0023] In this embodiment, the tray 310 includes, for example, a bottom plate 311, two lateral plates 312 and a support bracket 313. The two lateral plates 312 are connected to opposite sides of the bottom plate 311, respectively. The support bracket 313 connects the two lateral plates 312 and is located on a side of the two lateral plates 312 located away from the bottom plate 311 The display card 320 is disposed on the bottom plate 311 and electrically connected to the riser card 220. The restriction cover is, for example, fixed to a side of the support bracket 313 located away from the bottom plate 311.

[0024] It should be noted that the chassis 100, the assembly bracket 210, the tray 310, and the restriction cover 330 may collectively be referred as a chassis assembly.

[0025] Referring to FIG. 3 to FIG. 5, FIG. 3 is a partially enlarged view of the perspective view of a riser card assembly and a display card assembly of the electronic assembly shown in FIG. 1. FIG. 4 is a top view of the riser card assembly and the display card assembly shown in FIG. 3. FIG. 5 is an exploded perspective view of the riser card assembly and the display card assembly shown in FIG. 3. In detail, in this embodiment, the restriction cover 330 is made of, for example, plastic and includes a mount plate 331, a connection plate 332, a restriction plate 333, and a plurality of ribs 334. The mount plate 331 and the restriction plate 333 are respectively connected to two opposite sides of the connection plate 332. The connection plate 332 is approximately in, for example, a U-shape. The mount plate 331, the connection plate 332, and the restriction plate 333 together form a restriction space 335 and an opening 336. The opening 336 is connected to the restriction space 335. The mount plate 331 is fixed to a side of the support bracket 313 located away from the bottom plate 311. For example, the mount plate 331 includes a plurality of fastening holes 3310. The fasteners 340 are respectively fastened into the fastening holes 3310 to fix the mount plate 331 and the support bracket 313. The ribs 334 are located in the restriction space 335 and connect the mount plate 331, the connection plate 332, and the restriction plate 333 to enhance the structural strength of the restriction cover 330. However, the present invention is not limited thereto. In other embodiments, the restriction cover may not include the ribs 334.

[0026] In addition, in this embodiment, as shown in FIG. 4 and FIG. 5, the restriction plate 333 includes, for example, a plurality of through holes 3330. The through holes 3330 respectively overlap with the corresponding fasteners 340 and fastening holes 3310. In other words, the through holes 3330 respectively overlap, along a normal direction N of a top surface 3331 of the restriction plate 333 that faces away from the mount plate 331, with the corresponding fasteners 340 and fastening holes 3310. It should be noted that, in FIG. 4, a part of the handheld part 214 is omitted to clearly illustrate the feature of the through holes 3330 overlapping with the fasteners 340 and fastening holes 3310. In other embodiments, there may be one fastener, one fastening hole, and one through hole. Alternatively, in still other embodiments, the fasteners, the fastening holes, and the through holes may be omitted and the restriction cover may be fixed to the support plate via welding or soldering.

[0027] As shown in FIG. 5, the display card 320 and the riser card 220 are electrically connected in a board-to-board manner via, for example, connectors 321 and 221.

[0028] Furthermore, referring to FIG. 6, which is a partially enlarged view of a schematic side sectional view of the electronic assembly shown in FIG. 1. In this embodiment, the handle 212 further includes a positioning member 215. The positioning member 215 is disposed on the handheld part 214 and is detachably engaged with the fixing bracket 110 of the chassis 100 to hold the handheld part 214 in position or release the same relative to the chassis 100.

[0029] As shown in FIG. 1, FIG. 2, and FIG. 6, when the tray 310 is mounted on the chassis 100, the restriction cover 330 covers, for example, the positioning member 215 and a holding part 216 of the handheld part 214 to prevent the positioning member 215 from releasing the handheld part 214 relative to the chassis 100 (i.e., to prevent an engagement part 217 of the positioning member 215 from being disengaged from the fixing bracket 110). Specifically, the handheld part 214, for example, passes through the opening 336 and is at least partially located in the restriction space 335, and the restriction plate 333 is located on a side of the handheld part 214 located away from the mount plate 331. In this way, the handheld part 214 is prevented from forcing the two mount parts 213 to be pivoted relative to the bracket body 211, thereby preventing the handle 212 from forcing the bracket body 211 to slide relative to the chassis 100.

[0030] Referring to FIG. 2, FIG. 7, and FIG. 8, FIG. 7 is a perspective view illustrating the display card assembly being removed from the chassis in the electronic assembly shown in FIG. 1. FIG. 8 is a partially enlarged view of a schematic side sectional view of the electronic assembly shown in FIG. 7.

[0031] When the tray 310 is removed from the chassis 100 in a first disassembly direction D3 opposite to the second mount direction D2, the restriction cover 330 no longer covers the handheld part 214 and the holding part 216 of the positioning member 215, thereby exposing the handheld part 214 and the holding part 216 of the positioning member 215. Therefore, the holding part 216 of the positioning member 215 is allowed to be moved to release the handheld part 214 relative to the chassis 100 (i.e., to allow the engagement part 217 of the positioning member 215 to be disengaged from the fixing bracket 110). In this way, the handheld part 214 is allowed to force the two mount parts 213 to be pivoted relative to the bracket body 211, thereby, with the cooperation of the handle 212 and the two pins 120 of the chassis 100, allowing the bracket body 211 to be removed from the chassis 100 by sliding relative to the chassis 100 in a second disassembly direction D4 opposite to the first mount direction D1.

[0032] According to the electronic assembly and the chassis assembly disclosed in the above embodiment, when the tray is assembled on the chassis, the restriction cover covers the handheld part. Thus, the handheld part is prevented from forcing the two mount parts to be pivoted relative to the bracket body, thereby preventing the handle from forcing the bracket body to slide relative to the chassis. Therefore, as long as the tray for the display card to be disposed thereon is assembled on the chassis, the bracket body for the riser card to be disposed thereon is not allowed to be removed from the chassis. In this way, it may prevent the riser card assembly from being removed from the chassis before the display card assembly is removed from the chassis, thereby preventing the connectors of the display card assembly and the riser card assembly that are connected from being damaged.

[0033] The electronic assembly and the chassis assembly provided in this embodiment may be applied, for example, in a server host, and the server host may apply artificial intelligence (AI) computing, edge computing, or may be used as a 5G servers, a cloud servers, or a Vehicle-to-everything (V2X) server.

[0034] It will be apparent to those skilled in the art that various modifications and variations can be made to the present invention. It is intended that the specification and examples be considered as exemplary embodiments only, with a scope of the invention being indicated by the following claims and their equivalents.
