ABSTRACT:
A stacked 3U payload module unit (207) includes a base module (220), where the base module has a 3U form factor (229), and where the base module is coupled to directly communicate with a switched fabric (106) on a backplane (104) of a computer chassis (112), where the backplane comprises the switched fabric and a VMEbus network (108) operating concurrently. Stacked 3U payload module unit (207) can also include a stacking module (222) coupled to the base module, wherein the stacking module has the 3U form factor, wherein the stacking module is communicatively coupled to the base module through a stacking switched fabric connector (209), and wherein the stacking module is communicatively coupled to the switched fabric via the base module and the stacking switched fabric connector.
