Figure 21 illustrates components of a third high-speed peripheral component interconnect module 1700 including a dual-slot full-height high-speed peripheral component interconnect card 150 and a high-speed peripheral component interconnect adapter bracket in accordance with some embodiments of the present disclosure. 200. When the horizontal sliding bracket 304 is unlocked, the high-speed peripheral component interconnect adapter bracket 200 receives the dual-slot full-height high-speed peripheral component interconnect card 150 in the direction indicated by the arrow.

Figure 22 illustrates the third high-speed peripheral component interconnect module 1700 after the dual-slot full-height high-speed peripheral component interconnect card 150 is inserted into the high-speed peripheral component interconnect adapter bracket 200 in accordance with some embodiments of the present disclosure. . The circuit board 152 of the dual-slot full-height high-speed peripheral component interconnect card 150 is pushed against the card guide 308 . Figure 23 illustrates a dual-slot full-height high-speed peripheral component interconnect card 150 locked in place in accordance with some embodiments of the present disclosure. The horizontal sliding bracket 304 slides from the unlocked position (Fig. 24) to the locked position (Fig. 25). In the locked position, the horizontal sliding bracket 304 is suspended above the circuit board 152, and in the unlocked position, the horizontal sliding bracket 304 is separated from the circuit board 152. Figure 26 illustrates a top view of the card guide 308 docking with the dual-slot full-height high-speed peripheral component interconnect card 150. Because the circuit board 152 is not engaged to either of the slots 602-1, 602-2, the circuit board 152 is pushed against the card guide 308, compressing it further than either of the provided Figures 14 or 20 Spring 310.

Adapter racks according to embodiments of the present disclosure may be used in computing systems and computing devices (eg, servers, desktop computers, etc.). The computing system can have a main chassis, and the adapter bracket can be mounted or secured to the main chassis. A computing system may include one or more electronic components. For example, these components may include motherboards, fans, power supply units, hard drives, etc. High-speed peripheral component interconnect cards can be connected to the motherboard using riser modules.

While various embodiments of the present disclosure have been described above, it should be understood that they are presented by way of example only and not limitation. Various changes may be made in the disclosed embodiments based on the disclosure herein without departing from the spirit or scope of the disclosure. Therefore, the breadth of this disclosure and scope should not be limited by any of the above embodiments.
