Abstract

A server includes a motherboard, a central processing unit (CPU) and a riser card. The CPU is mounted on the motherboard. The riser card is inserted in the motherboard. The riser card includes a first circuit board extending parallel to the CPU, such that the CPU positioned between the motherboard and the first circuit board. At least one memory is inserted in the first circuit board.

Claims

1. A server comprising:

a motherboard;

a central processing unit (CPU) mounted on the motherboard; and

a riser card inserted in the motherboard, the riser card comprising a first circuit board extending parallel to the CPU such that the CPU positioned between the motherboard and the first circuit board, and at least one memory inserted in the first circuit board.

2. The server of claim 1, wherein the at least one memory is located directly above the CPU.

3. The server of claim 1, wherein a plurality of peripheral component interconnect express slots are arranged on the motherboard adjacent to the CPU.

4. The server of claim 1, wherein the riser card is generally perpendicular to the motherboard.

5. The server of claim 1, wherein the first circuit board and the riser card are generally perpendicular to each other.

6. The server of claim 1, wherein the at least one memory is generally perpendicular to the motherboard and parallel to the riser card.

7. The server of claim 1, wherein the riser card further comprises a second circuit board parallel to the first circuit board, a distance between the first and second circuit board is greater than a height of the at least one memory.

8. The server of claim 1, wherein a heat sink is fixed between the CPU and the at least one memory.

9. The server of claim 1, further comprising a plurality of hard disks.

10. The server of claim 9, wherein a plurality of fans is fixed between the CPU and the hard disks.

11. A server comprising:

an enclosure;

a motherboard received in the enclosure;

a plurality of memories, wherein the memories are coupled to the motherboard through a riser card; and

a central processing unit (CPU) being arranged between the motherboard and the memories, the memories are located above the CPU.

12. The server of claim 11, wherein a plurality of peripheral component interconnect express slots are arranged on the motherboard adjacent to the CPU.

13. The server of claim 11, wherein the riser card is generally inserted perpendicular to the motherboard.

14. The server of claim 11, wherein the riser card comprises a first circuit board for securing the memories.

15. The server of claim 14, wherein a second circuit board is inserted in the riser card and parallel to the first circuit board, a distance between the first and second circuit board is greater than a height of each memory.

16. The server of claim 11, wherein each memory is generally perpendicular to the motherboard and parallel to the riser card.

17. The server of claim 11, wherein a heat sink is fixed between the CPU and the memory.

18. The server of claim 11, further comprising a plurality of hard disks.

19. The server of claim 18, wherein a plurality of fans is fixed between the CPU and the hard disks.

20. The server of claim 11, wherein a plurality of power supplies is located under the CPU.
