Abstract:
The embodiments herein describe a function module that is removably mounted in a chassis. For example, the chassis may be a server chassis which stores a plurality of blade servers which uses hardware components and a fan module mounted in the function module to increase the storage capacity or computing performance of the blade servers. The function module can include PCIe cards, GPU cards, hard drives, and the like which are communicatively coupled to the blade servers in the chassis. In one embodiment, the function module is slidably mounted onto the chassis so that when pulled by the system administrator, the function module slides out of a front or rear side of the chassis. Doing so provides room for the system administrator to then add and/or remove the hardware components and the fan module mounted in the function module.

Claim (Index 1):
A chassis, comprising:\n a computing device; an expansion unit, comprising:\n a function module comprising a cage configured to support one or more pluggable hardware components and a fan configured to cool the pluggable hardware components; \n a slide, wherein the cage is disposed on the slide, wherein the slide is configured for bidirectional slidable movement allowing the functional module to be moved relative to the chassis; and \n a cable coupled to the function module, wherein a length of the cable permits the one or more pluggable hardware components to communicate with the computing device when the function module is slid out from the chassis, \n wherein a connector substrate is attached to a first side of the cage, wherein the one or more pluggable hardware components are disposed between the connector substrate and a second side of the cage, wherein the second side is opposite the first side, and \n wherein the second side comprises a plurality of slots aligned with a plurality of connectors on the connector substrate, wherein dimensions of the plurality of slots permits a respective one of the one or more pluggable hardware components to pass therethrough.
