An exemplary patch panel includes a printed circuit board having a
plurality of signal terminals for connecting to two pairs of peripheral
component interconnect express (PCI-E) X1 differential signal terminals
of an I/O controller hub (ICH), an interface terminal of a high
definition multimedia interface (HDMI), four pairs of differential signal
terminals of the HDMI, four pairs of differential signal terminals of a
graphic and memory controller hub (GMCH), one of another differential
signal terminal of the GMCH, and two pairs of differential signal
terminals of a PCI-E X16 slot. Therefore, the ICH is connected to the
PCI-E X16 slot via the patch panel for supporting a PCI-E X1 card while
the GMCH is connected to the HDMI via the patch panel. A patch panel
connector is provided to mount the patch panel on a motherboard.
