Abstract

An information handling system includes a server rack chassis, an adaptor assembly, and second and third servers. The server rack chassis includes a bay adapted to receive a first server that has a height that is substantially equal to a height of the bay. The adaptor assembly is inserted within the bay and includes first, second, third, and fourth slots to receive servers. The adaptor assembly is substantially the same size and dimension as the first server. The second server is inserted within the first slot of the adaptor assembly, and includes a first communication fabric. The height of the second server is substantially equal to a quarter of the height of the bay. The third server is inserted within the second slot of the adaptor assembly, and includes a second communication fabric. The height of the third server is substantially equal to a quarter of the height of the bay.
