摘要:
An apparatus for increasing the number of input/output ports of a computer system while maintaining the form factor of the computer chassis is disclosed. The apparatus includes a first system or motherboard mounted within the computer chassis. The first edge of a riser board is connected to the motherboard such the riser board extends generally perpendicular to the motherboard. The second edge of the riser board is connected to a second system board. The second system board is mounted to a sub panel and includes multiple input/output connectors positioned at both the front of the chassis and the rear of the chassis. A front bezel, having openings corresponding to the input/output connectors, is placed over the front of the chassis.
摘要:
A modular computer chassis constructed with a center pluggable interface adapted for the modular mounting of components on opposite sides thereof. The chassis includes frontal and rear regions which are open and adapted for receipt of modular computer components therein for direct coupling to the center pluggable interface. An isolation frame is also provided within the chassis for physically and electrically isolating select components therein one from the other. A slidable mounting array is also provided for facilitating flexibility in the mounting of half height and one-third height disk drives adjacent to the center pluggable interface for flexibility in the design and utilization of the chassis of the present invention.
