The second type of connector of the backup is the same as the second type of connector described above, and has a network signal line connection with all of the first type of connectors, and also has a network signal line connection with the network connection port.

Like the first type of connector, the second type of connector can use the MXM 3.0230PIN type connector.

The 127 shown in the figure is a third type of connector for the patch management control module. The third type of connecting member and the aforementioned first type and second type of connecting members each have a control management signal line connection.

In other embodiments, a fourth type of connector 128 is further disposed on the bottom plate, and the fourth type of connector is used to connect the expansion card module; and the fourth type of connector has a power line connection with the power connection port 130. The fourth type of connector 128 and the third type of connector 127 have control management signal line connections.

Among them, the third type of connector and the fourth type of connector can use NGFF B type connector, but the signal line connected by the connector PIN pin is not limited to the standard definition of the NGFF B type standard connector.

In other embodiments, the front end of the bottom plate is further provided with an indicator light, and the indicator light has a control management signal line connection with the third type of connecting member.

It should be noted that the first type of connectors are arranged in such a manner: Referring to FIG. 1, the first type of connectors are divided into four columns. The connector of the first type of the first type of connector is opposite to the connector of the first type of connector of the second column, and the two columns are spaced apart to be arranged for the function module; the third column of the first type of connector and the fourth column is first The connectors of the class connector are oriented opposite each other and the two columns are spaced apart to accommodate the functional module.

Specifically, each column includes six first-type connectors, and the first to sixth first-type connectors of the first column are respectively connected to the first to sixth first-type connectors of the second column. Aligned, the first to sixth first type of connectors of the third column are aligned with the first to sixth first type of connectors of the fourth column, respectively.

This design can be plugged into functional modules of different sizes, such as standard boards and double sections. Plate, four-section board, eight-section board, fourteen section board, etc. The standard version 305 needs to occupy the entire space between the two types of first-type connectors, the size of the double-board is one-half of the standard version, and the size of the four-

plates

301 and 302 is one-third of the standard version. The size of the eight-section board 303 is one-sixth of the standard version, and the fourteen-section boards 201-224, 304 are one-twelfth of the standard version.

As shown in FIG. 2, fourteen board

size calculation modules

201, 202, 203, 204, 205, 206, 207, 208, 209, 210, 211, 212, 213, 214, 215, 216, 217 are disposed on the bottom plate. 218, 219, 220, 221, 222, 223, 224, and switch

modules
