  • Multi-board mid-plane providing superior thermal performance, enhanced connector placement, and enhanced electrical signal trace routing channels
    Patent number: 11617260
    Abstract: A multi-board mid-plane includes a disk backplane board (DBB) having a front side and a rear side. Venting holes are provided within the DBB extending between the front side of the DBB and the rear side of the DBB. The multi-board mid-plane also includes a controller backplane board (CBB) having a front side and a rear side. The front side of the CBB includes venting holes provided within the CBB extending between the front side of the CBB and the rear side of the CBB. A top fabric plane board (TFPB) and a bottom fabric plane board (BFPB) are provided for connecting the DBB with the CBB. A combination of the DBB and the CBB has a venting ratio that is equal to a lower of the venting ratio of the DBB and the venting ratio of the CBB.
