MODULAR COMPUTER SYSTEM WITH PASSIVE BACKPLANE MODULES

摘要

A computer system wherein an assembly of passive backplane modulesallows a variety of active boards of the same or of different architectures tobeused in the same chassis. This technology differs from any others in that itpresents a second level of modularity in addition of the usual one, which isputtingactive boards in a passive backplane. In addition, several backplane modulesofdifferent types allow different architectures to be used on a slot by slotbasis andwiring requirements to link said backplane modules are minimized.
