Adaptable graphics board form factor with adjacent orientation to a motherboard for use with plural external I/O requirements in information handling systems

An information handling system comprising:

• a chassis supporting a motherboard and an adaptable graphics board, wherein the motherboard and graphics board are adjacently aligned;
• the adaptable graphics board includes a set of core components for interfacing with the motherboard, wherein the set of core components includes a graphics processor and graphics memory;
• the adaptable graphics board further includes a reconfigurable zone subset of components that is configured to interface with the information handling system chassis of a first model specification and is modifiable to a plurality of orientations usable with a plurality of model specifications;
• and
• the reconfigurable zone subset of components includes a modifiable location for external display data ports such that orientation of the reconfigurable zone subset of components may be adjusted with respect to the set of core components and the information handling system chassis.

A method of assembling an information handling system with an adaptable graphics board form factor in comprising:

• selecting a first model specification selected from a plurality of model specifications for information handling systems in which an adaptable graphics board may be used;
• orientating a reconfigurable zone subset of components relative to a set of core components of the adaptable graphics board, wherein the orientation is adapted to the first model specification, and wherein the set of core components includes a graphics processor and a graphics memory;
• aligning a first edge of the adaptable graphics board adjacent to a motherboard and a second edge of the adaptable graphics board with a side of an information handling system chassis;
• interfacing the adaptable graphics board at the first edge with the motherboard via a flexible compression jumper connector;
• and
• operatively coupling at least one external display data port along the second edge to interface with the side of the information handling system chassis.
