Quickly install the expansion module structure.

According to the existing modular systems used in the field of industrial computers, they are usually assembled in a single-function removable module type, such as a network card module for network transmission, which is usually a single extractable module. The fiber extraction module and the CPU board extraction module are two types. Due to space constraints, the current single extraction module cannot simultaneously have the above two types of functions, that is, the single extraction module. It is only used as a fiber extraction module, or the single extraction module is only used as a CPU board extraction module. To solve this problem, the fiber extraction module and the CPU board extraction module are integrated. As shown in FIG. 1, the fiber network card module 90 includes a fiber module 91 and a CPU board module. The group of the module 92 and the module unit 94, the fiber optic module 91 is provided with a fiber optic adapter slot 911, and the CPU board module 92 is provided with a CPU adapter slot 921, the fiber optic adapter slot 911, the CPU The adapter slot 921 can be respectively connected to an adapter board 93. The fiber module 91 and the CPU board module 92 can be connected to the adapter board 93 to enable the fiber module 91 and the CPU board module 92.
