  • Patent number: 12775315
    Abstract: Add-in card (AIC) adapters or sleeve adapters, suitable for use with information handling system chassis defining one or more AIC bays suitable for receiving a first AIC form factor, convert the bay into two or more sleeve-defined bays. Each sleeve bay is suitable for receiving a different and typically smaller form factor. For example, a chassis with an Enterprise and Data Center Standard Form Factor (EDSFF) E5 double wide bay may include a sleeve adapter defining two E5 single wide sleeve bays, each of which is suitable for receiving a corresponding E5 single wide AIC form factor. In another example, a sleeve adapter may be configured to convert an E5 double wide bay into one or more sleeve bays configured for a legacy CEM form factor. Sleeve adapters may route a subset of PCIe data lanes associated with a bay to each sleeve bay defined by the sleeve adapter.

  • Patent number: 12775313
    Abstract: An electronic card retaining device includes a seat mounted on a motherboard and a movable retaining member. The seat is provided with a stopper section and a guide section; the movable retaining member has an elastic arm corresponding to the stopper section and a mating guide section for engaging with the guide section. When the movable retaining member is assembled to the seat, the elastic arm can be pressed against the stopper section and elastically deformed; and the guide section and the mating guide section can engage with each other to guide the movable retaining member to elastically displace on the seat relative to an electronic card between a retaining position and a release position. With the above arrangements, the electronic card retaining device so formed is structurally simplified and easily operable for conveniently, securely and elastically retaining or releasing the electronic card to or from the motherboard.
