A modular hardware platform utilizes a combination of different types of units that are pluggable into cassette endpoints. The present disclosure enables the construction of an extremely large system, e.g., 500 Tb/s+, as well as small, standalone systems using the same hardware units. This provides flexibility to build different systems with different slot pitches. The hardware platform includes various numbers of stackable units that mate with a cost-effective, hybrid Printed Circuit Board (PCB)/Twinax backplane, that is orthogonally oriented relative to the stackable units. In an embodiment, the hardware platform supports a range of 14.4 Tb/s-800 Tb/s+ in one or more 19″ racks, providing full features Layer 3 to Layer 0 support, i.e., protocol support for both a transit core router and full feature edge router including Layer 2/Layer 3 Virtual Private Networks (VPNs), Dense Wave Division Multiplexed (DWDM) optics, and the like.

The invention relates to a structure (1) for housing electronic modules (2) provided with a system for inserting, locking and extracting such modules (2) including adjacent individual recesses separated by side rails and a motherboard (13), each recess being intended for receiving an electronic module (2). The system for inserting, locking and extracting includes one lever arm (3) per individual recess (10) provided at a distal end with a device for pivoting on the motherboard (13) and guiding device (31) capable of engaging with a circulation device (22, 22′) connected to the electronic module (2) in order to couple connectors of the electronic module (2) with the connectors of the motherboard (13), as well as a device for automatic locking and unlocking of a proximal end (3p) of each lever arm (3).

A safety device for medium-high voltage system is disclosed and includes a cabinet, a power module and a metal cover plate. The cabinet includes an accommodation seat connected to the medium-voltage charged region and having an opening. The power module is detachably disposed in the accommodation seat through the opening. The metal cover plate is pivotally connected to the accommodation seat and grounded. When the metal cover plate is in the first position, the opening is closed and the medium-voltage charged region is shielded. When the power module is set in the accommodation seat, the metal cover plate is pivotally rotated to a second position, and the power module is electrically connected to the medium-voltage charged region. When the power module is detached from the accommodation seat, the metal cover plate is rotated to the first position, and the opening is closed to shield the medium-voltage charged region.

A backplane is for electrically connecting electrical components. An embodiment is directed to the backplane and to a method for producing the same. An embodiment of the backplane includes a carrier plate, conductor tracks, which extend on and/or in the carrier plate, and at least one cooling element arranged on a conductor track for cooling the conductor track.

A power distribution unit (PDU) comprises a housing, an input on the housing, and an input connector coupled to the input on the housing. The input connector is connectable to a power source that provides power for distribution by the PDU to one or more power consuming devices. The PDU includes an output including output connectors that provide blind-mate connection with a connection interface coupled to the one or more power consuming devices.

A connection structure for attaching a first electronic device onto a second electronic device is disclosed. The connection structure comprises an action unit and an assist unit, wherein the action unit and the assist unit are particularly designed to be cooperated to each other in case of connecting the first electronic device to the second electronic device. After the first electronic device is attached to the second electronic device through the connection structure, a first electrical connection portion of an electronic card is inserted into an electronic card slot in the first electronic device, and a second electrical connection portion of the electronic card is inserted into an electronic card slot in the second electronic device, thereby making the two electronic devices communicate with to each other through the electronic card. As a result, the function(s) of the first electronic device is expended.

A backplane management and configuration system includes a chassis housing a first storage system having a first backplane, a second storage system having a second backplane, a second computing device coupled to each of the first backplane and the second backplane via a second multiplexer and a communication bus, and a first computing device coupled to each of the first backplane and the second backplane via a first multiplexer and the communication bus. A backplane configuration/management subsystem in the first computing device detects a multi-computing-device configuration including the first and second computing devices in the chassis and, in response, determines a first computing device location in the chassis. Based on the first computing device location, the backplane configuration/management subsystem identifies a first backplane identifier for the first backplane and, in response, configures the first backplane for management by the backplane configuration/management subsystem and ignores the second backplane.
