The present invention provides chassis for housing at least one processor, the chassis includes at least one compartment adapted to receive a processor, a connector for coupling the at least one processor to the chassis when the processor is installed in the at least one compartment. The connector includes a first component attached to the processor and a second component attached to the chassis and adapted to be mated with the first component, the connector may also be adapted to provide data and power connections between the chassis and the processor when coupled. Additionally, the first component aligns and mates with the second component during the insertion of the processor into the compartment without any visual alignment of the first and second components of the connector.
A connector adapted to connect a processor to a chassis, the connector comprising:
A method of making a data and power connector adapted to transfer both data and power between plug and a socket, the method comprising:
