Abstract:
1. A server, comprising: a mid-plane circuit board comprising a first electrical connector disposed on a first side of the mid-plane circuit board and a second electrical connector disposed on a second side of the mid-plane circuit board opposite the first side of the mid-plane circuit board; a chassis having either or both of a front opening or a rear opening; a board holder operable to receive the mid-plane circuit board, wherein the board holder is operable to be pivoted into a first position relative to the chassis to enable the mid-plane circuit board to be disposed within or removed from the board holder via the front opening or the rear opening and operable to be pivoted into a second position relative to the chassis to enable electrical components to be respectively coupled to the first electrical connector and the second electrical connector; and a securing member operable to selectively secure the board holder to prevent pivotal movement of the mid-plane circuit board relative to the chassis.
