When a component is referred to as being "connected" to another component, it can be directly connected to the other component or intervening components may also be present. When a component is referred to as being "disposed on" another component, it can be directly on the other component or intervening components may also be present. The terms "vertical," "horizontal," "left," "right," and the like as used herein are for illustrative purposes only.

Unless defined otherwise, all technical and scientific terms used herein have the same meaning as commonly understood by one of ordinary skill in the art to which this invention belongs. The terminology used herein in the description of the invention is for the purpose of describing particular embodiments only and is not intended to be limiting of the invention. As used herein, the term "or/and" includes any and all combinations of one or more of the associated listed items.

Some embodiments of the invention are described in detail below with reference to the accompanying drawings. In the following embodiments, features of the embodiments may be combined with each other without conflict.

Referring to fig. 1 and fig. 2, the expansion card 100 is used for being inserted into a full-height PCIe interface of a motherboard. The expansion card 100 includes a card body 10, a blocking piece 20, an adapter 30, an OCP NIC 3.0SFF network card 40 (function component), and a housing 50. The baffle 20 is installed at one end of the card body 10 for fixing the OCP NIC 3.0SFF network card 40, and the baffle 20 is vertically installed on the card body 10.

Three adapters 30 are used to connect the OCP NIC 3.0SFF network card 40 to other components.

The housing 50 is used to house and protect the OCP NIC 3.0SFF network card 40.

The card body 10 is provided with a slot 13, and the slot 13 is used for connecting an OCP NIC 3.0SFF network card 40.

Referring to fig. 3 and 4, the card body 10 has a socket 11 extending from the slot 13 to the baffle 20, and the socket 11 is used for receiving an OCP NIC 3.0SFF network card 40.

The card body 10 is provided with an electrical connection portion 12, and the electrical connection portion 12 extends out of the housing 50. The electrical connection 12 is used to plug into an all-high PCIe interface that can be connected to a motherboard that accommodates an OCP Mezz 2.0 network card to switch the OCP NIC 3.0SFF network card 40 to the motherboard.

The baffle 20 is provided with an accommodating port 21, and the accommodating port 21 is used for inserting an OCP NIC 3.0SFF network card 40.

One end of the jack 11 close to the blocking piece is communicated with the containing port 21 to contain the OCP NIC 3.0SFF network card 40 together.

The slot 13 is disposed at an end of the socket 11 remote from the flap 20.

Two ends of the baffle 20 are provided with connecting plates 23, and the connecting plates 23 are perpendicular to the baffle 20. Each connecting plate 23 is provided with a through hole 231. The card body 10 is provided with corresponding through holes 14.
