ABSTRACT:
An electronic shelf assembly includes a frame having a plurality of card slots arranged in parallel to each other along an axis of the frame and a midplane having a plurality of connectors are arranged to align with the card slots. Conductive traces are connected to predetermined pins of the midplane connectors and provide point-to-point signaling pathways between midplane connectors aligned with different card slots. An application node card may reside in one of the plurality of card slots. The application node card may have an application processor, a disk controller, and an application card connector. The application card connector is adapted to interface with at least some of the pins of one of the plurality of midplane connectors. A disk storage card may reside in one of the plurality of card slots. The disk storage card may have at least one storage media unit and a disk interface connector. The storage media unit is operatively coupled to the disk interface connector and the disk interface connector is adapted to interface with at least some of the pins of one of the plurality of midplane connectors such that some of the conductive traces support communication between the disk controller on the application card and at least one storage media unit on the disk storage card.
