Abstract: Embodiments herein describe a computing system which is reconfigurable into different server configurations that have different numbers of sockets. For example, the computing system may include two server nodes which can be configured into either two independent servers (i.e., two 2S servers) or a single server (i.e., one 4S server). In one embodiment, the computing system includes a midplane which is connected to processor buses on the server nodes. When configured as a single server, the midplane connects the processor bus (or buses) on one of the server nodes to the processor bus or buses on the other server node. In this manner, the processors in the two server nodes can be interconnected to function as a single server. In contrast, the connections between the server nodes in the midplane are disabled when the server nodes operate as two independent servers.
