Abstract
Adapters, systems and methods are provided that may be implemented to adapt a Peripheral Component Interconnect Express (PCIe) expansion (or add-in) card for mounting into a PCIe component bay (e.g., front-accessible 'flex bay') of an information handling system chassis, such as desktop, server or tower computer chassis. An adapter may be provided that carries an edge mount PCIe expansion card that may be mechanically inserted (e.g., in place of a solid state drive 'SSD' carrier or other PCIe peripheral component carrier) into the bay to electrically interface the PCIe expansion card with PCIe lane/s and other signal pins of a blind mate PCIe interface bay connector that extends outwardly into a component bay from the distal side (or rear) of the bay.
