Abstract

A wiring substrate is connected to a backplane, and includes: a first connector that is mounted on one surface of the wiring substrate and is connected to the backplane; an opening portion that is formed in the one surface on a side opposite to a side connected to the backplane of the first connector, and through which a cable having one end connected to the first connector is passed; an integrated circuit that is mounted on the one surface on a side opposite to a side on which the first connector is present relative to the opening portion; and a second connector that is mounted on the other surface on a side opposite to the one surface in the vicinity of the integrated circuit on the side opposite to the side on which the first connector is present relative to the opening portion, is connected to the integrated circuit via a through hole penetrating the wiring substrate, and is connected to the other end of the cable.

Claims (33)

1. A wiring substrate that is connected to a backplane, the wiring substrate comprising:

a first connector that is mounted on one surface of the wiring substrate and is connected to the backplane;

an opening portion that is formed in the one surface on a side opposite to a side connected to the backplane of the first connector, and through which a cable having one end connected to the first connector is passed;

an integrated circuit that is mounted on the one surface on a side opposite to a side on which the first connector is present relative to the opening portion; and

a second connector that is mounted on the other surface on a side opposite to the one surface in the vicinity of the integrated circuit on the side opposite to the side on which the first connector is present relative to the opening portion, is connected to the integrated circuit via a through hole penetrating the wiring substrate, and is connected to the other end of the cable.

2. The wiring substrate according to claim 1 , wherein

the cable is provided such that a part of the cable is along an inner side surface of the opening portion.

3. The wiring substrate according to claim 2 , wherein

the opening portion is provided with a cooling fan configured to send cooling air to cool the integrated circuit.

4. The wiring substrate according to claim 3 , wherein

an air guiding plate that guides the cooling air from the other surface to the one surface via the opening portion is provided on one of a side of the first connector relative to the cooling fan and a side of the integrated circuit relative to the cooling fan.

5. The wiring substrate according to claim 4 , wherein

the air guiding plate includes a plate portion extending obliquely relative to an opening surface of the opening portion from the other surface toward the one surface, and a fixing portion that fixes the plate portion in the opening portion, and

the cooling air is guided from the other surface toward the one surface along a surface on a side of the one surface of the plate portion.

6. The wiring substrate according to claim 4 , wherein

the air guiding plate includes a plate portion extending obliquely relative to an opening surface of the opening portion from the other surface toward the one surface, and a fixing portion that fixes the plate portion in the opening portion, and

the cooling air is guided from the other surface toward the one surface along a surface on a side of the other surface of the plate portion.

7. The wiring substrate according to claim 4 , wherein

the air guiding plate includes a plate portion extending obliquely relative to an opening surface of the opening portion from the other surface toward the one surface, and a fixing portion that fixes the plate portion in the opening portion, and

the fixing portion fixes the cable along an inner side surface of the opening portion.

8. The wiring substrate according to claim 1 , wherein

the integrated circuit includes a processor and a memory adjacent to the processor, and

the cable is disposed in a manner of intersecting with a substrate wiring of the wiring substrate that connects the processor and the memory.

9. A wiring substrate that is connected to a backplane, the wiring substrate comprising:

an area in which a first connector is mounted on one surface of the wiring substrate and is connected to the backplane;

an opening portion that is formed in the one surface on a side opposite to a side connected to the backplane of the first connector, and through which a cable having one end connected to the first connector is passed;

an area in which an integrated circuit that is mounted on the one surface on a side opposite to a side on which the first connector is present relative to the opening portion; and

an area in which a second connector is mounted on the other surface on a side opposite to the one surface in the vicinity of the integrated circuit on the side opposite to the side on which the first connector is present relative to the opening portion, is connected to the integrated circuit via a through hole penetrating the wiring substrate, and is connected to the other end of the cable.

10. An information processing device comprising:

the wiring substrate according to claim 1 ; and

a backplane that is connected to the wiring substrate.

11. The wiring substrate according to claim 1 , wherein the opening portion includes two separate sections and the cable is passed between the two separate sections.

12. The wiring substrate according to claim 9 , wherein the opening portion includes two separate sections and the cable is passed between the two separate sections.
