Backplane wiring for an input-output panel used for front or rear access |
摘要 |
According to one embodiment, an input-output (I-O) panel is transformed. The I-O panel is configured to couple to an array of first midplane connectors of a first shelf configured according to a first format, where the first shelf has rear access. The I-O panel comprises an array of I-O panel connectors and defines an xy-plane. An array of second midplane connectors of a second shelf is transformed to substantially align the second midplane connectors with the I-O panel connectors. The second shelf is configured according to a second format, where the second shelf has front access. The array of second midplane connectors is arranged in columns defining a midplane column axis and rows defining a midplane row axis. |

1. An apparatus comprising:
an input-output (I-O) panel comprising an array of I-O panel connectors arranged in:
a plurality of I-O panel rows defining a row axis; anda plurality of I-O panel columns defining a column axis, the I-O panel defining an xy-plane; the I-O panel columns arranged to:
align with a plurality of first midplane connector columns of a plurality of first midplane connectors of a first shelf configured according to a first format; andafter a substantially 180 degree rotation in the xy-plane, align with a plurality of second midplane connector columns of a plurality of second midplane connectors of a second shelf configured according to a second format different from the first format. |
