Abstract
A system includes a backplane and an auxiliary connector mounted to the backplane. The auxiliary connector is configured to mate with a corresponding mating auxiliary connector of an electrical power supply. A power connector is mounted directly to the backplane. The power connector is configured to mate with a corresponding mating power connector of the electrical power supply. A power bus bar is mounted to the backplane. The power bus bar is engaged in electrical contact with the power connector.
