Abstract
A server includes an adapter device, multiple storage modules and multiple controllers. The adapter device includes a base circuit board having opposite first and second surfaces, multiple first connectors disposed on the first surface along a first direction and connected to the base circuit board, and multiple second connectors disposed on the second surface along the first direction in pairs, each of which is arranged along a second direction, is connected to the base circuit board and is disposed between adjacent two of the first connectors. Each of the storage modules is connected to a corresponding first connector. Each of the controllers is connected to a corresponding second connector.
Claims16
A server comprising:
- an adapter device including
- a base circuit board that extends along a first direction and that has a first surface and a second surface opposite to said first surface,
- a plurality of spaced-apart first connectors that are disposed on said first surface along the first direction and that are electrically connected to said base circuit board, each of said first connectors extending along a second direction that is perpendicular to the first direction, and
- a plurality of second connectors that are disposed on said second surface in pairs, which are spaced apart along the first direction, each pair of said second connectors being arranged along the second direction, being electrically connected to said base circuit board and being disposed between adjacent two of said first connectors;
- a plurality of storage modules, each of which is electrically connected to a corresponding one of said first connectors;
- and
- a plurality of controllers, each of which is electrically connected to a corresponding one of said second connectors and is operable to control a corresponding one of said storage modules.
A server comprising:
- a base circuit board having a front surface and a rear surface;
- a plurality of spaced-apart first connectors disposed on said front surface of said base circuit board and electrically connected to said base circuit board;
- a plurality of spaced-apart narrow connectors disposed on said rear surface of said base circuit board, each of said narrow connectors being disposed between adjacent two of said first connectors and being electrically connected to said base circuit board;
- a case;
- a plurality of storage modules received in said case, each of said storage modules being electrically connected to a corresponding one of said first connectors;
- and
- a plurality of controllers received in said case, each of said controllers being electrically connected to a corresponding one of said narrow connectors and being operable to control a corresponding one of said storage modules.
A server comprising:
- a base circuit board having a front surface and a rear surface;
- a plurality of first connectors spaced apart from each other on said front surface of said base circuit board and electrically connected to said base circuit board;
- multiple pairs of second connectors, each pair of which is disposed on said rear surface of said base circuit board between adjacent two of said first connectors;
- a case;
- a plurality of storage modules received in said case, each of said storage modules being electrically connected to a corresponding one of said first connectors;
- and
- a plurality of controllers received in said case, each of said controllers being electrically connected to a corresponding one of said second connectors and being operable to control a corresponding one of said storage modules,
- wherein at least one pair of said second connectors is electrically connected to said adjacent two of said first connectors through said base circuit board.
