Abstract

See full text

An information handling system (IHS) server volume includes at least two pairs of flexible peripheral component interconnect express (PCIe) media for connecting data signals and power supply signals via riser cards mounted against respective PCIe devices in large adjacent physical slot locations. A first PCIe device corresponding to a first riser card and a second PCIe device corresponding to a second riser card are relatively positioned to enable the second riser card to be fitted within a specified space between the first PCIe device and the first riser card while a footprint of a first PCIe connector corresponding to the first PCIe device overlaps a footprint of a second PCIe connector corresponding to the second PCIe device. First and second PCIe cards provided by the first and second PCIe devices respectively are inserted into respective PCIe connectors via the first pair of riser cards having a dense nested arrangement.
