ABSTRACT:
A foolproof structure for preventing incorrect insertion an interface module is a PCI-Express (PCI-E) interface structure having at least one module stand disposed in a casing and a corresponding fixing frame. The fixing frame includes a first structure corresponding to the module stand, and the module stand includes different interface cards for converting PCI-E signals into different telecommunication signals. A second structure is disposed in a connecting end of the motherboard in the casing. The first and second structures can be used for preventing a wrong connection between the interface card, module stand and motherboard, so as to avoid damages to the electronic components and assure the normal operation of the foregoing modules. The first and second structures may include a pair of indents formed in the base of the module stand with one indent to closely engage a protrusion of the fixing frame and the other indent to closely engage a protrusion adjacent an edge of the motherboard when the module stand is inserted into the correct fixing frame.
