Each graphics adapter is manufactured as a printed circuit board including a finger-type edge connector. When two or more graphics adapters are installed in a system the edge connectors of each graphics adapter may be coupled to each other via a connection device that provides a portion of the digital multi-bit connection. The remainder of the digital multi-bit connection is provided by conductive traces coupling each finger of the edge connector to a graphics processing unit that is affixed to the graphics adapter. The connection device may be installed by an end-user as each additional graphics adapter is installed in the system.
19. The connection device of claim 10, wherein the first graphics edge connector includes signals for two ports. Beschreibung
