Switched fabric mezzanine storage module

摘要

A switched fabric mezzanine storage module ( 560 ) includes a storage module ( 562 ) and a switched fabric connector ( 563 ) coupled to the storage module. The storage module is coupled to directly communicate with a switched fabric ( 506 ), where the switched fabric storage mezzanine module is coupled to a payload module ( 502 ) having one of a 3U form factor, a 6U form factor and a 9U form factor. The payload module can include at least one multi-gigabit connector ( 518 ) coupled to a rear edge ( 519 ) of the payload module, where the at least one multi-gigabit connector is coupled to communicatively interface with a backplane ( 504 ).
