A system and method of implementing an adaptable graphics board form factor design comprising an adaptable graphics board including a reconfigurable zone subset of components including a reconfigurable I/O module having display data ports disposed along a first edge of the adaptable graphics board, the adaptable graphics board including a set of core components including the graphics processor and graphics memory, wherein the reconfigurable zone subset of components are orientable relative to the set of core components to interface with an information handling system chassis of a first model specification selected from a plurality of model specifications for information handling systems in which the adaptable graphics board may be used, and the adaptable graphics board including a connector pad interface area for receiving an array of compressible electrical spring contacts of a compression jumper pad for a flexible compression jumper connector, wherein the connector pad interface area is disposed along a second edge of the adaptable graphics board for alignment adjacent to a motherboard to be operatively coupled via the flexible compression jumper connector in the information handling system.

Adaptable graphics board form factor with adjacent orientation to a motherboard for use with plural external I/O requirements in information handling systems

An information handling system comprising a chassis supporting a motherboard, a graphics board, and an flexible compression jumper connector having a first compression jumper pad with a first array of compressible communication contacts operatively coupled to a first connector pad interface area on the motherboard and first clamping mechanism to compress the first array of compressible communication contacts to the motherboard. The flexible compression jumper connector having a second compression jumper pad with a second array of compressible communication contacts operatively coupled to a second connector pad interface area on the graphics board, and a second clamping mechanism to compress the second array of compressible communication contacts to the graphics board, where the flexible compression jumper connector has an adjustable jumper trace array cable between the first compression jumper pad and the second compression jumper pad.

Relative height adjustable connector system for motherboard to graphics board transition in information handling systems

A system and method of operatively coupling a motherboard and a graphics board supported on a chassis, coating the motherboard and the graphics board with an anti-tarnish finish, plating a first interposer on at least a first side with a neutral metal material, soldering pass-through electrical contacts of the first interposer to a connector pad area of the motherboard, and clamping a first compression jumper pad to compress an array of compressible communication contacts to the pass-through electrical contacts on the first interposer, adjusting a flexible jumper trace array cable between the first compression jumper pad and a second compression jumper pad to adjacently align the motherboard and graphics board to minimize thickness of the information handling system, and coupling the second compression jumper pad to the graphics board to provide lanes of data communication.
