Computer system, switch connector, and method for controlling operations of the computer system

A switch connector which is adaptable to a computer system including, a memory bus, at least one memory slot and an electric load, wherein:

• said switch connector couples a signal line of said memory bus to a pin of a memory module, when said memory module is inserted in said at least one memory slot;
• said switch connector couples said signal line of said memory bus to said electric load, when said memory module is not inserted in said at least one memory slot;
• and
• said switch connector is disposed inside said at least one memory slot.

A switch connector which is adaptive to a computer system including, a memory bus, at least one memory slot and an electrical load, comprising:

• a first connector pin which is coupled to one of a plurality of signal lines of said memory bus;
• and
• a second connector pin which is coupled to said electric load, and wherein
• said switch connector provides electric contact between said first connector pin and said second connector pin, in a case where a memory module is not inserted in said at least one memory slot, and
• said switch connector insulates said first connector pin from said second connector pin, in a case where said memory module is inserted in said at least one memory slot.

• said switch connector insulates said first connector pin from said second connector pin, in a case where said memory module is inserted in said at least one memory slot,
• one end of said first connector pin is fixed on a casing of said at least one memory slot;
• and
• other end of said first connector pin provides flexible electric contact with said second connector pin or with one of a plurality of module pins of said memory module.

A method of controlling operations of a computer system including a plurality of memory slots, comprising:

• arranging a plurality of memory connectors on each of said plurality of memory slots;
• coupling a plurality of bus lines respectively to said plurality of memory connectors;
• coupling at least one impedance matching circuit to at least one of said plurality of memory connectors;
• coupling said plurality of bus lines to a memory module, in at least one of said plurality of memory slots in which the memory module is inserted;
• and
• coupling said at least one impedance matching circuit to at least one of said plurality of bus lines, in at least one of said plurality of memory slots in which the memory module is not inserted.

A contact for a memory module connector, comprising:

• a resilient conductive first contact part;
• a conductive second contact part;
• a casing in which one end of said first contact part and one end of said second contact part are fixed;
• wherein
• a memory module separates said first contact part from said second contact part when said memory module is inserted into said memory module connector;
• and
• said first contact part contacts with said second contact part when said memory module is not inserted into said memory module connector.
