ABSTRACT:
A structural configuration which includes a computer support structure having at least one module supporting a computer server disposed therein, and methods for connecting servers and using a computer support structure. Each module includes at least one support member separating the module from each adjacent module. The support member is configured to simultaneously conduct both power and data to a computer server located in the module. The method for connecting servers includes placing a first server inside a first module which includes a first structural member configured to conduct electrical power and data to the first server. A second server is placed inside a second module which includes a second structural member. The second module is placed on top of the first module. The first member supports the second module and separates the second module from the first module, resulting in the first member connecting to the second member.
