## Abstract

A server including a chassis and a multifunction assembly. The chassis has a front side and a rear side that are opposite to each other. The multifunction assembly includes a bracket, a network assembly, an input/output assembly and an expansion assembly. The bracket is disposed on the front side of the chassis. The network assembly, the input/output assembly and the expansion assembly are independently and removably disposed in the bracket.

## Claims

### Claim 1

A server, comprising: a chassis, having a front side plate and a rear side plate that are opposite to each other; and a multifunction assembly, comprising a bracket, a network assembly, an input/output assembly and an expansion assembly with two expansion cards inserted to a riser card, wherein the bracket is disposed on the front side wall of the chassis, and the network assembly, the input/output assembly and the expansion assembly are independently and removably disposed in the bracket; and the chassis comprises a bottom plate and two side plates, the two side plates are connected to two opposite sides of the bottom plate, respectively, the front side plate and the rear side plate of the chassis are located on the bottom plate, and the expansion assembly is located farther away from the bottom plate than the input/output assembly which is sandwiched between the expansion assembly and the network assembly; and the bracket has at least one opening located on a front side of the bracket, each of the network assembly and the input/output assembly has at least one port exposed from the at least one opening and the front side plate; and two disk drive assemblies are disposed on the front side plate of the chassis, and an overall size of each of the two disk drive assemblies is equal to an overall size of the multifunction assembly.

### Claim 2 (depends on 1)

The server according to claim 1, wherein the input/output assembly comprises a tray and a circuit board assembly, the circuit board assembly has at least one port and is disposed on the tray, and the tray is slidably disposed in the bracket.

### Claim 3 (depends on 1)

The server according to claim 1, wherein:
the input/output assembly is removably mounted in the bracket;
the expansion assembly is removably mounted in the bracket;
the bracket is removably mounted to the front side of the chassis; and
the network assembly is removably mounted in the bracket.

### Claim 4 (depends on 3)

The server according to claim 3, wherein before removably mounting the expansion assembly in the bracket, a riser card is removably mounted in the bracket.
