Claim 0:
1. An electrical device comprising:
a backplane of a power shelf, the backplane comprising a backplane connector; and
a shelf management control circuit having wiring, or traces, to provide a connection between the backplane and a power management controller, the shelf management control circuit including:
a first connector coupled with the backplane connector;
a second connector configured to have a first interface that physically couples the power management controller to the shelf management control circuit such that the wiring or traces provide a connection between the first connector and the second connector to allow the power management controller to communicate with the backplane;
a third connector configured to have a second interface that physically couples the power management controller to the shelf management control circuit such that the wiring or traces provide a connection between the first connector and the third connector to allow the power management controller to communicate with the backplane; and
an interconnect circuit including:
a fourth connector at a proximal end of the interconnect circuit and configured to connect to the third connector; and
a fifth connector at a distal end of the interconnect circuit and configured to connect to the power management controller;
wherein the proximal end is located near a rear of the power shelf and the distal end is located near a front of the power shelf when the interconnect circuit is installed in the power shelf; and

when the shelf management control circuit is installed in the power shelf, the second connector is accessible via the rear of the power shelf and the third connector is accessible via the front of the power shelf.
