Abstract
An expansion card bracket for a computer server has an expansion card support attachable to a motherboard and an expansion card accepting portion disposed near a top of the support. The expansion card accepting portion is configured to support an expansion card at an acute angle of inclination with respect to the motherboard. The acute angle of inclination is substantially equal to an angle of inclination of a connector for receiving the expansion card.
