Abstract:
1. A multiple hard drive connection system comprising: a first backplane comprising a pass-through and a first socket, the first backplane configured to couple to a control system such that the first socket is in electrical communication with the control system; a second backplane adjacent to and spaced apart from the first backplane, the second backplane comprising a second socket aligned with the pass-through and configured to couple to the control system on a side of the second backplane opposite the first backplane such that the second socket is in electrical communication with the control system; and a card assembly having a first edge card connected to the first socket and a second edge card extending through the pass-through and connected to the second socket, the card assembly configured to couple to a hard drive such that the hard drive is in electrical communication with the control system via the first backplane, the second backplane, and the card assembly, the first backplane configured to couple to the hard drive on a side of the first backplane opposite the second backplane.
