An apparatus, comprising:
- a chassis including
- a first plate mounting bracket and
- a second plate mounting bracket, said chassis defining a first module bay and a second module bay;
- a modular repositionable plate removably connected to said first plate mounting bracket and removably connectable to either said first plate mounting bracket or said second plate mounting bracket;
- and
- a module inserted and positioned at least in part within said first module bay, coupled to said repositionable plate, and separatable from said repositionable plate while said repositionable plate remains removably connected to said first plate mounting bracket allowing replacement of only a part that needs replacements,
- wherein said modular repositionable plate includes an optical feedthrough.

A method, comprising:
- providing a chassis with
- a first plate mounting bracket and
- a second plate mounting bracket, said chassis defining a first module bay and a second module bay;
- connecting a modular repositionable plate to said first plate mounting bracket, said repositionable plate removable from said first plate mounting bracket and removably connectable to either said first plate mounting bracket or said second plate mounting bracket;
- inserting and positioning a module at least in part within said first module bay;
- and
- coupling the module to said repositionable plate,
- wherein the module is separatable from said repositionable plate while the repositionable plate remains connected to the first plate mounting bracket allowing replacement of only a part that needs replacement and said modular repositionable plate includes an optical feedthrough.
