Abstract:
Utilities (e.g., apparatuses, systems, methods, etc.) for reducing or eliminating gaps between the tips of male pins and the bottoms of corresponding female sockets of interfaced connectors (e.g., daughtercard and backplane connectors) of a computing module and a backplane of a server enclosure under a variety of differing mechanical tolerances in the lengths of the server enclosure and the computing module (e.g., along a dimension that is parallel to the longitudinal axes of the male pins and female sockets). The disclosed utilities allow for increased signal quality and data rates through interfaced connectors while reducing strain on the PCB, solder joints, and the like during the interfacing of the connectors.

Claim (Index 1):
A server, comprising:\n an enclosure including a housing and an interior space within the housing, wherein the interior space defines a plurality of sockets; a backplane secured to the housing within the interior space adjacent a rear portion of the plurality of sockets, wherein the backplane includes at least one backplane connector adjacent the rear portion of each socket of the plurality of sockets; and a computing module receivable in a first socket of the plurality of sockets, wherein the computing module includes:\n a chassis that is slidable within the first socket along a first axis; \n a printed circuit board (PCB) that is slidable relative to the chassis along a second axis that is collinear with or parallel to the first axis; and \n at least one PCB connector attached to the PCB for electrical connection with the backplane connector of the first socket.
