Abstract
Embodiments include expansion cards that provide a specialized capability, such as networking, when coupled to an Information Handling System (IHS). The expansion card embodiments include a printed circuit board (PCB) of a first width and a heat sink located on a top surface of the PCB. The expansion cards also include pins located on a distal end of the PCB, where the pins are received by a connector of the IHS. Embodiments include a button operable for ejecting a latch of the expansion card from a stored position in response to pressing the button. When ejected, the latch remains within the first width of the PCB, thus supporting high-density configurations of expansion cards. The ejected latch is further operable for an administrator to easily pull the expansion card from the IHS. Expansion card embodiments may also include vents that provide pathways for ventilating heated air away from the heat sink.
