ABSTRACT:
An information processing module in the form of a blade server can communicate information signals with other modules of a modular computer system such as a high density server system under a selectable information protocol (for example Ethernet or Infiniband). The information processing module can include one or more information connections for communicating information signals. One ore more serializer/deserializers can be connected between the module processor(s) and the information connection(s). A selectable information protocol interface can be interconnected between the processors and the serializer/deserializer. A plurality of different information protocols can be used and be selectively connectable between the module processor(s) and the serializer/deserializer(s) using one or more multiplexer/demultiplexers.
