The input/output module includes a casing, a rotational connector disposed on the casing, the rotational connector including an arc-shaped notch, the rotational connector being configured to interlock with a connection mechanism of a base to serve as a rotation point so that the input/output module is rotatable to get connected to the base and a latch-shaped fixer configured to fit into a groove formed in at least one of an upper inner surface and a lower inner surface when the input/output module is pushed into a slot having the upper inner surface and the lower inner surface to get connected.
