Offset basecard.

摘要

In an adapter card having an attached daughter card (304), the adapter card is offset from its edge connector (106), such that the edge connector (106) occupies one plane and the base card (104) occupies a parallel plane, thereby allowing the daughter card (304) to attach to the base card (104) and occupy the same plane as the edge connector (106) which allows the daughter card (304) to use an I/O connector without violating the space envelope of the next base card (104), and also allows a daughter card (304) to be interchanged between systems with different packaging architectures. <IMAGE>
