ABSTRACT:
This invention relates to computers, and particularly to the accommodation of accessory cards of varying types through the provision of modular backplane assemblies. By way of example, the invention contemplates, in a computer apparatus having a main chassis for mounting a motherboard and defining a backplane portion for enclosing and shielding components mounted for electrical connection with the motherboard and an opening in the backplane portion for providing access for connections to peripheral devices, an improvement which facilitates adaptation of the apparatus to mounting accessory boards having at least two differing predetermined types of electrical interconnection hardware and mechanical mountings. The improvement comprises at least two interchangeable modular backplane assemblies, each assembly having the capability of removably fitting into the main chassis and receiving and electrically connecting with and mechanically securing accessory cards of a corresponding type.
