SYSTEM OF IMPLEMENTING SWITCH DEVICES IN A SERVER SYSTEM

摘要

A system of implementing devices in a system. At least some of the illustrative embodiments are systems comprising a plurality of devices of a first type coupled to a coupling medium, and a first and second slots (where each slot enables coupling of a device of a second type to the coupling medium). The first and second slots accept second type devices one each in each slot, and the first and second slots accept a single device spanning both slots.

主权项

1. A system, comprising:
a plurality of first connectors on a coupling medium to couple to a first type of device; first and second slots enabling coupling of a second type of device to the coupling medium; a second connector associated with the first slot, wherein the second connector communicatively couples to each of the first connectors; and a third connector associated with the second slot, wherein the third connector is communicatively coupled to each of the first connectors; wherein, when each of the first and second slots accepts a separate second type of device, the second type of device in the first slot communicates with at least one of the first type of devices using a first bandwidth communication protocol; and wherein, when the first and second slots accept a single second type of device spanning both slots, the single second type of device communicates with at least one of the first type of devices using a second bandwidth communication protocol, the second bandwidth being greater than the first bandwidth.
