Systems having modules sharing on module terminations

A system comprising:

• a circuit board including first and second module connectors each including module slots;
• a first path of conductors extending from the circuit board to the first module connector to a first group of module connector contacts of the first module connector, extending from a second group of module connector contacts of the first module connector to the circuit board, to the second module connector, to a first group of module connector contacts on the second module connector, there being a gap between the first and second groups of module connector contacts of the first module connector;
• and
• a second path of conductors extending from the circuit board to the second module connector to a first group of module connector contacts of the second module connector, extending from a second group of module connector contacts of the second module connector to the circuit board, to the first module connector, to a first group of module connector contacts on the first module connector, there being a gap between the first and second groups of module connector contacts of the second module connector;
• wherein the first path includes a first end for interfacing with a controller and the second path includes a second end for interfacing with the controller and wherein the first path does not interface with a module connector between the first end and the first module connector, and the second path does not interface with a module between the second end and the second module.

A system comprising:

• first and second modules;
• a circuit board including first and second module connectors to receive the first and second modules, respectively;
• a first path of conductors extending from the circuit board to the first module connector, to the first module, back to the first module connector, to the circuit board, to the second module connector, to the second module, to on module terminations of the second module, wherein a first section of the first path, which is a short loop through section, couples to stubs for first and second chips of the first module, and a second section of the first path couples to stubs for first and second chips of the second module;
• and
• a second path of conductors extending from the circuit board to the second module connector, to the second module, back to the second module connector, to the circuit board, to the first module connector, to the first module, to on module terminations of the first module, wherein a first section of the second path, which is a short loop through section, couples to stubs for third and fourth chips of the second module and a section of the second path couples to stubs for third and fourth chips of the first module.
