The Framework Laptop 16 has an Expansion Bay system that contains both the cooling fans

and an interface for high-power, high-speed PCIe peripherals like GPUs. Expansion Bay

modules can extend in both thickness and depth to accomodate higher power requirements.

There are currently two Expansion Bay modules available:

1. Thermal Module - This module has two cooling fans for the system as well as an open area

in the middle that can be used for PCIe peripherals like SSDs or even additional I/O that can

be exposed on the back of the system. This GitHub repository documents the mechanical

and electrical specifications for the cards that can go in this open area.

2. Graphics Module - This module is thicker and deeper, and contains a GPU card along with

the heatsink for it.
