In a specific embodiment, the present embodiment provides a computer, which may be a server, or may be a desktop. Specifically, the computer comprises a chassis, internal electronic equipment, a PCIE module 2, a rear entry bracket 1 and a switching module 3.

The internal electronic device, the PCIE module 2, the post-entry support 1 and the switching module 3 are all located inside the chassis and protected by the chassis. The shape of the casing is not particularly limited, and may be set as needed, and generally the casing is rectangular.

The internal electronic module is generally a computer motherboard, and the motherboard is used for assembling all the modules together. Where PCIE module 2 refers to a high-speed serial computer expansion bus standard module, and generally refers to an add-in card module, such as a network card or a host bus adapter (HBA card).

The PCIE module 2 is configured to perform signal connection with an internal electronic device, so as to complete signal transmission. The PCIE module 2 has an external interface exposed outside the chassis, so that the external structure can be conveniently plugged with the PCIE module 2 from the outside of the chassis, so as to perform signal transmission. If the PCIE module 2 is a network card, one of the external interfaces is a network cable interface.

The switching module 3 is a signal switching device, and mainly performs interface switching to complete signal transmission, and generally does not process the signal itself. The switching module 3 is connected between the PCIE module 2 and the internal electronic device, specifically, an upper interface is provided on an upper portion of the switching module 3, which is connected with the PCIE module 2 in an up-down direction in a plugging manner so as to perform signal connection, a front interface is provided at a front end of the switching module 3, which is connected with the internal electronic device in a front-back direction in a plugging manner so as to perform signal connection, and signal transmission can be performed between the upper interface and the front interface. When in use, the switching module 3 and the PCIE module 2 are taken as a whole to be disassembled and assembled with the internal electronic equipment. The switching module 3 is used for enabling the user to move forward and backward when in use.

The switching module 3 is mounted on the back-in bracket 1, and an opening for the back-in bracket 1 carrying the PCIE module 2 to enter and exit is arranged at the back side of the chassis. It should be noted that, because the PCIE module 2 is inserted into the switch module 3, and the switch module 3 is mounted on the back-in bracket 1, when the back-in bracket 1 enters and exits the opening in the front-back direction, the switch module 3 can be driven to enter and exit the opening in the front-back direction at this time, and then the PCIE module 2 inserted into the switch module 3 should also be driven to enter and exit the opening together. Generally, in order to ensure that the switch module 3 and the PCIE module 2 are in and out of the opening along with the subsequent bracket 1 to enter and exit the chassis, a receiving cavity is provided on the subsequent bracket 1 to receive the switch module 3 and the PCIE module 2.

In this embodiment, when the computer is applied and the PCIE module 2 located in the chassis needs to be disassembled, at this time, the post-entry bracket 1 is taken out from the opening at the rear side of the chassis, so that the switching module 3 installed on the post-entry bracket 1 is detached from the internal electronic device, and then follows the post-entry bracket 1, and carries the PCIE module 2 inserted thereon to be removed from the opening together. And then the PCIE module 2 is replaced or maintained on the switching module 3, after maintenance is completed, the switching module 3 is pushed and then the bracket 1 enters the opening, namely the switching module 3 and the PCIE module 2 inserted on the switching module are driven to enter the chassis together, and the switching module 3 is spliced with the internal electronic equipment. In this computer, an opening is provided at the rear side of the chassis, and a rear entry bracket 1 and an adapter module 3 are provided so that the PCIE module 2 can enter and exit the chassis from the opening at the rear side of the chassis for maintenance. Because the PCIE module 2 is arranged in the case after the PCIE module is arranged in the case, the upper cover of the case does not need to be opened when the PCIE module 2 is maintained or replaced, so that the problem that the upper cover of the case is inconvenient to open is avoided, the use of the whole machine cannot be influenced due to the arrangement of the opening at the rear side of the case, and meanwhile, the PCIE module is convenient for workers to uniformly overhaul. In summary, the computer can effectively solve the problem that the conventional computer PCIE module 2 is inconvenient to take out.

Further, considering that, because the external interface of the PCIE module 2 needs to be exposed outside the chassis, the external interface of the PCIE module 2 is generally exposed at the rear side of the back-in bracket 1, and in order to better protect the external interface of the PCIE module 2, the back-in bracket 1 is generally provided with an installation slot with a size matched with that of the external interface.
