[0002] PCI-Express (Peripheral Component Interconnect Express) is a high-speed serial computer expansion bus standard. Originally named "3GIO," it was proposed by Intel in 2001 as a replacement for the older PCI, PCI-X, and AGP bus standards. PCI-Express utilizes high-speed serial point-to-point dual-channel, high-bandwidth transmission. Connected devices are allocated dedicated channel bandwidth and do not share bus bandwidth. It primarily supports active power management, error reporting, end-to-end reliable transmission, hot-swapping, and Quality of Service (QoS).
[0003] Due to the thickness of the PCIE card itself, two cards need to be stacked one on top of the other in a standard 1U (4.445cm) height server. If a traditional PCIE expansion slot is used, the slot height is too high and there is not enough space on the adapter card (such as the riser card) to set up two PCIE slots to support the two stacked PCIE cards.

[0008] In one embodiment of the present invention, the first PCIE slot and the second PCIE slot are located on the same surface of the circuit board, and the first PCIE slot and the second PCIE slot are placed parallel to each other.
[0009] In one embodiment of the present invention, the first PCIE slot and the second PCIE slot are respectively located on the front and back surfaces of the circuit board.

[0040] Specifically, in this embodiment, the switching signal is preferably, but not limited to, a PCIE signal. To facilitate explanation of the principle of this embodiment, the following embodiment is described by taking the switching signal as a PCIE signal, the switching slot as a PCIE slot, and the expansion card as a PCIE card as an example.
[0041] The circuit board 121 reads the PCIE signal from the memory slot 110 and outputs the PCIE signal through the PCIE slot, so that the PCIE signal is obtained from the PCIE slot when a PCIE card is inserted into the PCIE slot.
[0042] In this embodiment, the memory slot 110 obtains a PCIE signal from a central processing unit of a mainboard. The mainboard is a mainboard in a server. The central processing unit (CPU) can directly access the PCIE device space through CPU addressing to obtain the PCIE signal.
[0043] In this embodiment, the memory slot 110 is connected to the central processing unit (CPU) and obtains the PCIE signal from the CPU. In this way, the memory slot 110 can output the PCIE signal.
[0044] The memory slot 110 has at least one signal output terminal; the memory slot 110 obtains a switching signal from the central processing unit and outputs the switching signal through the signal output terminal.

[0046] The signal output end of the memory slot 110 is located on the slot, so that the circuit board 121 of the adapter card 120 is connected to the signal output end of the memory slot 110 when plugged into the memory slot 110 .
[0047] In this embodiment, the riser card 120 includes a circuit board 121 and a PCIE slot disposed on the circuit board 121 .
[0048] Specifically, the circuit board 121 is plugged into the memory slot 110 , and the circuit board 121 reads the PCIE signal from the memory slot 110 and outputs the PCIE signal through the PCIE slot, so that the PCIE signal is obtained from the PCIE slot when a PCIE card is plugged into the PCIE slot.
[0049] In this embodiment, if Figure 1 and Figure 2As shown, the PCIE slot includes a first PCIE slot 122 ; or the PCIE slot includes a first PCIE slot 122 and a second PCIE slot 123 .
[0050] That is to say, the PCIE slot may include only one PCIE slot or may include two PCIE slots.
[0051] In this embodiment, when the PCIE slot includes two PCIE slots, the two PCIE slots can be located on the same surface of the circuit board, or can be separately arranged on the front and back surfaces of the circuit board 121, that is, there is a PCIE slot on each of the front and back surfaces of the circuit board 121.
[0052] Specifically, the PCIE slots include a first PCIE slot 122 and a second PCIE slot 123:
[0053] 1) The first PCIE slot 122 and the second PCIE slot 123 are located on the same surface of the circuit board 121 and are arranged vertically parallel to each other;
[0054] 2) The first PCIE slot 122 and the second PCIE slot 123 are respectively located on the front and back surfaces of the circuit board 121, that is, the first PCIE slot 122 is located on the front surface of the circuit board 121, and the second PCIE slot 123 is located on the back surface of the circuit board 121.

The memory card slot is connected to the CPU of the server motherboard, and the adapter card 120 is inserted into the memory slot 110. The adapter card module 100 has been described in detail above and will not be repeated here.
[0067] If a traditional PCIE expansion slot is used, it is impossible to stack two PCIE cards on top of each other in a 1U server. The solution of this embodiment avoids customized PCIE expansion slots and other high-density connector conversion solutions, reduces costs, and improves the integration within the server.
