Abstract: An electronic device includes a power supply device supplying power for an electronic element. The power supply device includes a shell defining a receiving space. A first circuit board includes a main body received in the receiving space and a connection portion extending from the main body. A first sub-connector includes a number of first connection pins arranged on the connection portion and a number of second connections pins arranged on an opposite side of the connection portion. A connector is arranged between the second connection pins and an electronic element. The connector transmits power to the electronic element.

Abstract: A bootstrap system for dual central processing units includes a south bridge, a first central processing unit, a second central processing unit and a switch control module. The south bridge provides enable signals and reset signals, the first central processing unit provides an identification signal and an operation signal. The second central processing unit receives the enable signals and reset signals. The switch control module receives the identification signal and the operation signal from the first central processing unit to generate a corresponding switch command signal. The south bridge is selectably and electrically connected to the first central processing unit or the second central processing unit under the control of switch command signal.

Abstract: An exemplary motherboard includes a substrate, a first CPU socket provided on the substrate for receiving a first CPU, a second CPU socket provided on the substrate for receiving a second CPU, a switching circuit connected to the first CPU and the second CPU, at least one quick path interconnect (QPI) bus connecting the first CPU to the second CPU, a number of first peripheral component interconnect express (PCI-e) interfaces connected to the first CPU via a number of first wires, a number of second PCI-e interfaces connected to the second CPU via a number of second wires, and a activating chip connected to the first CPU and the second CPU via the switching circuit and configured for starting a peripheral device connected to the first PCI-e interfaces or the second PCI-e interfaces.

Abstract: A circuit board assembly includes a motherboard defining a number of plug slots, and a fixing mechanism for securing a heat sink. The fixing mechanism is positioned between two adjacent plug slots, and includes a support member mounted on the motherboard, two fixing brackets mounted on opposite ends of the support member, two bars rotatably connected to the fixing brackets, and a connection member detachably connected to the support member by the bars. The opposite borders of the support member extend in the same direction substantially parallel to the plug slots, and the support member forms four connecting portions for securing the heat sink on opposite sides thereof, and the connecting portions are located between the opposite borders.

Abstract: A server includes a casing, a motherboard and a power supply module received in the casing. The casing includes a bottom plate and a first sidewall substantially perpendicular to the bottom plate. The first sidewall defines a through hole close to the bottom plate. The motherboard is substantially parallel with the bottom plate and is fixed above the through hole. The motherboard includes a first surface and a second surface. A receiving space is defined between the second surface and a bottom plate. A number of electrical elements are disposed on the first surface. The power supply module can be inserted through the through hole to be received in the receiving space.
