Claims8
An adapter configured to be inserted into a slot of an electronic device and also configured to connect each of a Peripheral Component Interconnect (PCI) board and a Peripheral Component Interconnect-express (PCIe) board to a control board that is installed on a side of the slot toward which the adaptor is inserted, the adapter comprising a base plate,
- wherein the base plate comprises:
- a holding structure configured to selectively hold a Peripheral Component Interconnect (PCI) relay board configured to connect the PCI board to the control board and a Peripheral Component Interconnect-express (PCIe) relay board configured to connect the PCIe board to the control board;
- and
- an attachment structure configured to selectively attach a Peripheral Component Interconnect (PCI) bracket configured to fix the PCI board to the base plate and a Peripheral Component Interconnect-express (PCIe) bracket configured to fix the PCIe board to the base plate,
- wherein the attachment structure includes a plurality of insertion holes,
- the plurality of insertion holes includes
- one or more first insertion holes that allows a fastening member to be inserted into the base plate wherein the fastening member attaches the PCI bracket to the base plate, and
- one or more second insertion holes that differs from the one or more first insertion holes and allows a fastening member to be inserted into the base plate wherein the fastening member attaches the PCIe bracket to the base plate.
