Abstract
A system includes a circuit board with a Peripheral Component Interconnect Express ('PCIe') backplane. The backplane is configured to receive processing power from a computer module. An adapter card having a computer module form factor is coupled to the PCIe backplane instead of the computer module. The adapter card includes a switch that aggregates one or more PCIe lanes and a transceiver. A communication link couples the transceiver to a remote processor device, which provides processing power to the circuit board.
