Abstract: A cable system includes a printed circuit board (PCB) comprising a set of connector pin pads and a card-side connector, with the card-side connector comprising a housing attached to the PCB and a set of pins. A first subset of the set of pins is soldered on and electrically coupled to the connector pin pads. The cable system includes first and second cables electrically coupled to the card-side connector. The first cable includes a first end soldered onto the connector pin pads to couple to the first subset of the pins and a second end coupled to a first host-side connector. The second cable includes a first end soldered onto a second subset of the set of pins of the card-side connector and a second end coupled to a second host-side connector, thereby facilitating electrical coupling between the card-side connector and the first and second host-side connectors.

Abstract: One aspect of the instant application describes a system that includes a plurality of stacked mezzanine boards communicatively coupled to a motherboard and a metal enclosure enclosing the motherboard and mezzanine boards. A respective mezzanine board can include a number of solder pads, and the metal enclosure can include a plurality of metal strips, a respective metal strip to make contact with a solder pad of a corresponding mezzanine board. The system can further include a logic module positioned on the respective mezzanine board to determine a location of the respective mezzanine board based on a contact pattern between the metal strips and solder pads of the respective mezzanine board.

Abstract: A modular riser card, an electronic device having a modular riser card, and a method of determining a type of modular riser card pin connection are disclosed. The modular riser card includes a circuit board and a removable connector assembly. The circuit board includes a first receptacle having a plurality of first pins. The removable connector assembly includes a connector body defining a second receptacle having a plurality of second pins, and an opening formed in the connector body adjacent to the second receptacle. The connector body is mounted on the circuit board such that the first receptacle protrudes through the opening and is aligned with the second receptacle. The first and second receptacles form a riser card connector that is configured to removably receive an expansion card of an electronic device.
