  • Modular packaging configuration and system and method of use for a computer system adapted for operating multiple operating systems in different partitions
    Patent number: 6970348
    Abstract: A packaging configuration is provided for a computer system that is adapted for operating multiple operating systems in different partitions of the computer system. The packaging configuration includes a main chassis having a main circuit board. The packaging configuration also includes a processor assembly configured for insertion into the main chassis. The processor assembly has a circuit board for connection to the main circuit board upon insertion of the processor assembly. The packaging configuration also includes a processor subassembly configured for insertion into the processor assembly. The processor subassembly includes a circuit board and a processor and is configured for connection with a circuit board in the processor assembly upon insertion of the processor subassembly. The processor assembly is removable from the main chassis without powering down the computer system, and the processor subassembly is removable from the processor assembly without powering down the computer system.
