Abstract
An adapter device enabling a peripheral component interconnect express (PCIe) slot in a server to additionally accept an open compute project (OCP) card includes a bracket assembly compatible with an OCP card and a server. The adapter device comprises a chassis, a front-end bracket, an adapter assembly, and a rail assembly. The front-end bracket defines a first inserting port for OCP card insertion, the adapter assembly comprises OCP interface, adapter circuit board, and PCIe interface. The PCIe interface is connected to the adapter circuit board, and the adapter circuit board provides electrical connection and conversion between OCP interface and PCIe interface. The rail assembly between the front-end bracket and the OCP interface carries in the OCP card when the card is inserted.
