Title:
SYSTEM FOR INTERCONNECTING CIRCUIT BOARDS HOUSED WITHIN A CHASSIS
Document Type and Number:
WIPO Patent Application WO2000055742
Kind Code:
A3
Abstract:
A computer system includes a chassis, a backplane housed within the chassis, a first board housed within the chassis and connected to the backplane, and a second circuit board housed within the chassis and connected to the backplane. The backplane includes a plurality of point-to-point data buses. The first circuit board includes a switching fabric having a plurality of data ports where one of the plurality of data ports is connected to one of the plurality of point-to-point data buses. The second circuit board includes a segmentation and reassembly (SAR) controller having a physical layer interface. The physical layer interface is connected to the point-to-point data bus that is connected to the switching fabric. In this manner, the second circuit board is interconnected to the first circuit board.
