server blade

A single circuit board populated with components such as processors, memory, and network connections that are usually found on multiple boards. Server blades are designed to slide into existing servers. Server blades are more cost-efficient, smaller and consume less power than traditional box-based servers.

Also see the Server Types page in the Quick Reference section of Webopedia for a comparison of server types.
