Computer chassis assembly with a single center pluggable midplane board

A computer system comprising;

• a processor module, including a processor;
• a memory module:
• a power supply module;
• a chassis for housing the processor module, memory module, and power supply module;
• and
• an interface for directly coupling the processor module to the memory module, and the power supply module to the processor module and memory module.

A computer, comprising:

• a first computer component;
• a second computer component;
• a third computer component, disposed vertically in relation to the first computer component;
• a housing having a front region and a rear region, the front region for housing the first computer component and the third computer component and the rear region for housing the second computer component;
• an interface for interfacing the first computer component, the second computer component and the third computer component, the interface positioned intermediate to the front region and the rear region of the housing and having:
• a first connector for electrically coupling the first computer component to the interface;
• a second connector for electrically coupling the second computer component to the interface, the second connector generally directed towards the rear region of the housing;
• and
• a third connector for electrically coupling the third computer component to the interface.

A computer system, comprising:

• a chassis;
• a first module disposed in a first region of the chassis;
• a second module disposed in the first region of the chassis, the second module being disposed vertically in relation to the first module;
• a third module disposed in a second region of the chassis;
• and
• an interface for electrically coupling data and power between the first module, the second module, and the third module, the interface being disposed intermediate the first region and the second region,
• wherein the interface, the first, second, and third modules have electrical connectors for direct electrical coupling of the first, second and third modules to the interface.
