Abstract
A server includes a housing having a server-module storage space, a power source disposed in the rear side inside the housing, and a pair of server modules having horizontally symmetrical and vertically reversible shapes. When a pair of server modules is properly inserted into the housing of a server, they can receive electric power from the power source via connectors. Even when a pair of server modules is vertically reversed and inserted into the housing of a server, it is possible to secure electrical connection between the power source and the vertically reversed server modules. An erroneous insertion preventing measure is applied to the server-module storage space and a back panel fixed to a riser card, attached to each server module, so as to prevent erroneous insertion of server modules into the housing of a server. This may establish compatibility and standardization between server modules for use in servers.
