Method and apparatus for flexible interconnection of computer system components

摘要

A connection assembly for providing interconnection between a computer processor assembly and a module is provided. The connection assembly includes a flex circuit having signal paths for communication between the computer processor assembly and the module. The connection assembly also includes a connector coupled to an end portion of the flex circuit and configured to connect to the computer processor assembly. The connection assembly also includes another connector coupled to an opposite end portion of the flex circuit and is configured to connect to the module. The flex circuit is configured to facilitate movement of the module with respect to the computer processor assembly, the flex circuit having a retracted position with the module proximate to the computer processor assembly and an extended position with the module spaced from the computer processor assembly.
