1. Technical Field
The present disclosure relates to a computing device with one or more motherboards.
2. Description of Related Art
To enhance the performance of a computing device, the computing device requires to use dual central processing units (CPUs). The dual CPUs can deal with multiple applications simultaneously at a quicker rate. However, computing devices typically do not have space for installing more than one motherboard. The dual CPUs take too much space on the motherboard, the motherboard has to be sized larger, and the layout of the motherboard becomes more complicated. Further, the dual CPUs always be working together even if only one of them is needed.
Therefore, there is room for improvement within the art.
Many aspects of the embodiments can be better understood with reference to the following drawings. The components in the drawings are not necessarily drawn to scale, the emphasis instead being placed upon clearly illustrating the principles of the embodiments. Moreover, in the drawings, like reference numerals designate corresponding parts throughout the several views.
The disclosure is illustrated by way of example and not by way of limitation. In the figures of the accompanying drawings in which like references indicate similar elements. It should be noted that references to “an” or “one” embodiment in this disclosure are not necessarily to the same embodiment, and such references mean at least one.

In disassembly of the first CPU module 10, the first section 18a is pressed downwards and disengages from one of the pair of resisting blocks 123. The second section 18b disengages from the pair of resisting arms 121. The handle 193 is pressed downwards. The second segment 19b disengages from the other one of the pair of resisting blocks 123. The first segment 19a disengages from the other pair of resisting arms 121. The first protruding portion 181 and the second protruding portion 191 disengage from the pair of bent pieces 163, unlocking the mounting frame 16 and allowing the removal of the CPU 14 from the base 12.
When the computing device needs two CPUs, the plurality of slave connectors 140 is connected to the plurality of master connectors 40. The second motherboard 200 is attached perpendicularly to the first motherboard 100. In one embodiment, the plurality of first PCI cards 30 is perpendicular to both the first motherboard 100 and the second motherboard 200. The first group of the plurality of second PCI cards 130 is obliquely oriented relative to the first motherboard 100. The first CPU module 10 and the second CPU module 110 can work cooperatively and improve the data processing ability of the computing device. If only one CPU is needed, the second motherboard 200 can be quickly detached from the first motherboard 100. If more than two CPUs are needed, a plurality of slave motherboards can be attached to the first motherboard 100.
While the present disclosure has been illustrated by the description in this embodiment, and while the embodiment has been described in considerable detail, it is not intended to restrict or in any way limit the scope of the appended claims to such details. Additional advantages and modifications within the spirit and scope of the present disclosure will readily appear to those skilled in the art. Therefore, the present disclosure is not limited to the specific details and illustrative examples shown and described.
