Abstract
A method includes forming a module aperture in a printed circuit board assembly (“PCBA”), forming an electronic communication interface extending around the module aperture, and plugging a pluggable processor module into the module aperture, the pluggable processor module comprising a micro-processor package, a voltage regulator, and a contact. An electronic communication interface of the pluggable processor module is placed in contact with the electronic communication interface of the PCBA.

A method of plugging a pluggable processor module into a printed circuit board assembly (“PCBA”), the method comprising:
- forming a module aperture in the PCBA;
- forming an electronic communication interface extending around the module aperture;
- and
- plugging the pluggable processor module into the module aperture, the pluggable processor module comprising a micro-processor package, a voltage regulator, and a contact, wherein the voltage regulator comprises a capacitor board, a power board and conductive pillars connecting the capacitor board to the power board,
- wherein the module aperture is large enough to receive the power board and narrower than the capacitor board, and
- wherein an electronic communication interface of the pluggable processor module is placed in contact with the electronic communication interface of the PCBA.
