Abstract

A server and a server chassis. The server chassis configured for an expansion assembly to be mounted thereon and including a housing and at least one mounting assembly. The housing includes a bottom plate, a first side plate and a second side plate. The first side plate and the second side plate are respectively connected to two opposite sides of the bottom plate. The first side plate has a top side facing away from the bottom plate. The at least one mounting assembly includes a fixed bracket and a mounting bracket. The fixed bracket is fixed to the first side plate. The mounting bracket is configured for the expansion assembly to be mounted thereon and movably disposed on the fixed bracket.
