Card module for a computing unit of a high-performance computing cabinet

A computing unit for a High-Performance Computing (HPC) cabinet comprising:

• a compartment for a card module;
• and
• a card module mounted into said compartment, wherein said card module is configured to receive at least one computing card;
• wherein said card module comprises
• a chassis configured to be mounted in said compartment,
• said chassis comprising a parallelepipedal shape, a front face, a rear face, a bottom face, a top face, a left side face and a right side face,
• wherein said left side face comprises a first side wall and said right side face comprises a second side wall,
• wherein at least one side wall of said first side wall and said second side wall of the chassis delimits at least one opening configured to insert a computing card of said at least one computing card into a slot formed inside the card module and,
• wherein an opposite side wall of the at least one side wall comprises on its internal face an internal connector positioned facing said at least one opening, said internal connector being configured to connect to an external connector of the computing card when the computing card is inserted into the slot up to the opposite side wall.

A method for engaging a card module, in a computing unit for a High-Performance Computing (HPC) cabinet, said card module is configured to receive at least one computing card,

• wherein said card module comprises
• a chassis configured to be mounted in a card module compartment,
• said chassis comprising a parallelepipedal shape, a front face, a rear face, a bottom face, a top face, a left side face and a right side face,
• wherein said left side face comprises a first side wall and said right side face comprises a second side wall,
• wherein at least one side wall of said first side wall and said second side wall of the chassis delimits at least one opening configured to insert a computing card of said at least one computing card into a slot formed inside the card module and,
• wherein an opposite side wall of the at least one side wall comprises on its internal face an internal connector positioned facing said at least one opening, said internal connector being configured to connect to an external connector of the computing card when the computing card is inserted into the slot up to the opposite side wall;
• the method comprising:
• inserting a computing card of the at least one computing card in the at least one opening of a side wall of said first side wall and said second side wall until the external connector connects to the internal connector.
