Abstract
In one implementation, an insertable power unit for plugging into a mother board includes a power module situated on a substrate, and a mounting contact on an extended side of the substrate away from the power module. The mounting contact is electrically coupled to the power module by electrical routing in the substrate. The mounting contact is configured to provide electrical connection between the power module and the mother board.
