Embodiments of the disclosure provide a cable connection structure, including: a bearing member, the bearing member being provided with at least one cable connector, and each cable connector having a first port connected to a cable and a second port electrically connected to the first port; and a sliding structure connected to the bearing member, the bearing member being configured to be connected to a single board through the sliding structure, the bearing member enabling the single board connected to the bearing member to slide in a first direction which is a direction close to or away from the second port. Embodiments of the disclosure also provide a single-board assembly and a single-board assembly connection structure.

In computing scenarios involving multiple computational units, an enclosure (e.g., a rack or server cabinet) may store the units and provide resources such as shared power and network connectivity. Additionally, the components of the units may communicate through a Serial Attached SCSI (SAS) bus, but many such enclosures provide little or no integration with the SAS buses, thus entailing extensive SCSI cabling. Presented herein are architectures for enclosures presenting a set of slots for trays storing respective computing blades, where such trays include SAS connectors that connect directly (i.e., without cabling) with connectors on a midplane that interconnects the blades into a SAS bus featuring at least one integrated SAS expander. Additional architectural variations involve providing SAS expander on one or both of the midplane and the blades; grouping blades into subsets having distinct SAS buses; and interconnecting the SAS buses and expanders of multiple midplanes in the enclosure.

A system includes a top-of-rack, a first plurality of chassis, and a first backplane. The first plurality of chassis each includes at least one rack module and a chassis network switch that connects to each of the at least one rack module. The first backplane includes a first backplane network switch that connects to the top-of-rack and connects to each of the first plurality of chassis via the chassis network switch of each of the first plurality of chassis.

A circuit board assembly, a backplane interconnection system, and an electronic device are disclosed. The circuit board assembly includes a bracket and a circuit board, the circuit board is formed with a fastened part and a free part, the fastened part is connected to the bracket, the free part is suspended, a surface on which the free part and the fastened part are co-located is a first plane, the free part has an amplitude of swing in a first direction, the first direction is perpendicular to the first plane, the circuit board is configured to plug-connect to a front sub-circuit board, a first connector plug-connected to a first plug-connection end on the front sub-circuit board is disposed on the free part, and the amplitude of swing is capable of enabling the first connector to plug-connect to the first plug-connection end.

A storage device includes a casing; a drive that records data; a controller that controls a data processing of the drive; and a midplane that connects the drive to the controller, in which the midplane includes a plurality of split midplanes which are replaceable, a drive side connector is disposed on a drive side of the split midplane, and the drive side connector is connected to the drive.
