Abstract
A computer includes a first module, a second module controlled by the first module, a first connector connectible to the first module, a second connector connectible to either the first module or the second module, and a data transmission line configured to connect the first connector to the second connector via a plurality of lanes. The order of lanes of the first module is reverse to the order of lanes of the second module while the order of lanes of the first connector is reverse to the order of lanes of the second connector. Thus, it is possible to improve the expandability of the computer acting as a server. Additionally, it is possible to prevent complexity of design and increased cost in expanding the functions of servers.
