Abstract
An expanding high speed transport interface hardware method for motherboard is provided. In the method, a mezzanine card is provided and the mezzanine card has a chip socket. An expanding hardware with high speed transport interface is installed in the chip socket of the mezzanine card. In addition, the mezzanine card is inserted into an idle CPU socket in a motherboard with plural CPU structure to make the mezzanine card electrically connect with the second CPU socket, so that the mezzanine card and the expanding hardware become components of the motherboard. Finally, the motherboard is activated to detect the mezzanine card and the expanding hardware and set the CPU bus as a data transmission path between the mezzanine card and the expanding hardware so as to expand interface hardware for the idle CPU socket. Besides, more design choices and opportunities are provided for the manufacturers of motherboard and peripheral.
