Abstract
A flexible server configuration system includes a connector array including a plurality of slots and a first jumper board configured to removably engage with the connector array by connecting to a first set of consecutive slots from the plurality of slots. The first jumper board is configured to disengage and reengage from the connector array to connect with a different set of consecutive slots from the plurality of slots. The system further includes a first set of at least one peripheral device, each connected to one of the plurality of slots, and a first node including at least one first node processor. The first node is connected to two of the plurality of slots.
