Abstract
A tester board system that includes a frame upon which a plurality of motherboards can be inserted for the purposes of BI and other types of component testing. Each motherboard has memory channels that can accommodate a plurality of memory components for testing, and the memory channels are connected to a CPU. In preferred embodiments, the CPU is on the underside of the motherboard and the memory channels on the top side of the motherboard.
Claims12
A tester board system, comprising:
- at least two motherboards;
- a frame dimensioned to receive the at least two motherboards, the frame including corresponding at least two cavities that receive the at least two motherboards;
- and
- each of the at least two motherboards comprising at least one memory channel on a first side and at least one CPU on a second side, wherein the at least one memory channel is communicatively coupled with the at least one CPU;
- wherein the at least two motherboards are aligned along a horizontal plane when installed on the frame;
- and
- wherein the at least two motherboards are aligned when installed on the frame such that a lateral edge of a first motherboard contacts a lateral edge of a second motherboard such that the contact between the lateral edge of the first motherboard and the lateral edge of the second motherboard creates at least one of a continuous surface or a near-continuous surface without gaps between the first motherboard and the second motherboard, such that an underside of the first motherboard and underside of the second motherboard is thermally isolated from an upper side of the first motherboard and second motherboard when heat is applied to the upper side of the first motherboard and second motherboard.
