Abstract

Methods, systems and devices are described relating to a chassis for front and back inserted modules. An apparatus includes a chassis including a first module bay and a second module bay, the first module bay and the second module bay together composing both a forward section and rearward section.

Claims (45)

1. An apparatus, comprising a chassis including a first module bay and a second module bay, said first module bay and said second module bay together composing both a forward section and rearward section,

wherein the chassis includes an intersection board located between said forward section and said rearward section, said intersection board having a height along a first direction that is less than about 0.9 times an interior height of said chassis along said first direction, wherein said intersection board has a width along a second direction, said second direction substantially orthogonal to said first direction, that is less than an interior width of said chassis along said second direction.

2. The apparatus of claim 1 , wherein the intersection board is located substantially symmetrically between a front of said chassis and a back of said chassis.

3. An apparatus, comprising a chassis including a first module bay and a second module bay, said first module bay and said second module bay together composing both a forward section and rearward section,

wherein the chassis includes an intersection board located between said forward section and said rearward section, said intersection board having a height along a first direction that is less than about 0.9 times an interior height of said chassis along said first direction, wherein said chassis

i) defines a front and back; and

ii) includes an intermediate board located between said front of said chassis and said intersection board.

4. The apparatus of claim 3 , wherein said intermediate board is located substantially symmetrically between said intersection board and said front of said chassis.

5. The apparatus of claim 2 , further comprising a rack coupled to said chassis.

6. A method, comprising providing a chassis with a first module bay and a second module bay, said first module bay and said second module bay together composing a forward section and rearward section,

wherein the chassis includes an intersection board located between said forward section and said rearward section, said intersection board having a height along a first direction that is less than about 0.9 times an interior height of said chassis along said first direction, wherein providing said chassis includes providing said chassis with an intersection board located between said forward section and said rearward section, said intersection board having a width along a second direction, said second direction substantially orthogonal to said first dimension, that is less than an interior width of said chassis along said second direction.

7. The method of claim 6 , wherein providing and chassis includes providing said chassis with an intermediate board located either between said forward section and said intersection board or between said intersection board and said rearward section.

8. The method of claim 6 , further comprising coupling a rack to said chassis.

9. An apparatus, comprising a chassis including a first module bay and a second module bay, said first module bay and said second module bay together composing both a forward section and rearward section,

wherein the chassis includes an intersection board located between said forward section and said rearward section, said intersection board having a height along a first direction that is less than about 0.9 times an interior height of said chassis along said first direction, wherein said chassis

i) defines a front and back; and

ii) includes an intermediate board located between said intersection board and said back of said chassis.

10. The apparatus of claim 9 , wherein said intermediate board is located substantially symmetrically between said intersection board and said back of said chassis.

11. A method, comprising providing a chassis with a first module bay and a second module bay, said first module bay and said second module bay together composing a forward section and rearward section,

wherein the chassis includes an intersection board located between said forward section and said rearward section, said intersection board having a height along a first direction that is less than about 0.9 times an interior height of said chassis along said first direction, wherein said chassis

i) defines a front and back; and

ii) includes an intermediate board located between said front of said chassis and said intersection board.

12. The method of claim 11 , wherein said intermediate board is located substantially symmetrically between said intersection board and said front of said chassis.

13. A method, comprising providing a chassis with a first module bay and a second module bay, said first module bay and said second module bay together composing a forward section and rearward section,

wherein the chassis includes an intersection board located between said forward section and said rearward section, said intersection board having a height along a first direction that is less than about 0.9 times an interior height of said chassis along said first direction, wherein said chassis

i) defines a front and back; and

ii) includes an intermediate board located between said intersection board and said back of said chassis.

14. The method of claim 13 , wherein said intermediate board is located substantially symmetrically between said intersection board and said back of said chassis.

15. A kit, comprising a chassis including a first module bay and a second module bay, said first module bay and said second module bay together composing both a forward section and rearward section,

wherein the chassis includes an intersection board located between said forward section and said rearward section, said intersection board having a height along a first direction that is less than about 0.9 times an interior height of said chassis along said first direction, wherein said chassis,

i) defines a front and back; and

ii) includes an intermediate board located between said front of said chassis and said intersection board.

16. The kit of claim 15 , wherein said intermediate board is located substantially symmetrically between said intersection board and said front of said chassis.

17. A kit, comprising a chassis including a first module bay and a second module bay, said first module bay and said second module bay together composing both a forward section and rearward section,

wherein the chassis includes an intersection board located between said forward section and said rearward section, said intersection board having a height along a first direction that is less than about 0.9 times an interior height of said chassis along said first direction, wherein said chassis

i) defines a front and back; and

ii) includes an intermediate board located between said intersection board and said back of said chassis.

18. The kit of claim 17 , wherein said intermediate board is located substantially symmetrically between said intersection board and said back of said chassis.

19. A kit, comprising a chassis including a first module bay and a second module bay, said first module bay and said second module bay together composing both a forward section and rearward section,

wherein the chassis includes an intersection board located between said forward section and said rearward section, said intersection board having a height along a first direction that is less than about 0.9 times an interior height of said chassis along said first direction, wherein said intersection board has a width along a second direction, said second direction substantially orthogonal to said first direction, that is less than an interior width of said chassis along said second direction.

20. The kit of claim 19 , wherein the intersection board is located substantially symmetrically between a front of said chassis and a back of said chassis.

21. The kit of claim 19 , further comprising a rack that can be coupled to said chassis.

22. The kit of claim 19 , further comprising a first module located at least in-part in said forward bay and a second module located at least in-part in said rearward bay.

23. The kit of claim 22 , wherein said first module can be coupled to said second module.

24. The kit of claim 19 , further comprising instructions.
