Abstract

See full text

An apparatus and method for selectively configuring a first PCI Express connector and a second PCI Express connector. The apparatus includes a PCB (printed circuit board) having a PCI Express first connector and a PCI Express second connector mounted thereon. A translation device connector and a bridge component are also mounted on the PCB. The bridge component is coupled to the first connector, the second connector, and the translation device connector. The translation device connector is adapted to couple to a translation device in either a first orientation or a second orientation, wherein the first orientation configures the first connector for a first number of lanes and the second orientation configures the first connector and the second connector for a second number of lanes.
