Backplane controller module using small outline dual in-line memory module (SODIMM) connector
First Claim
1. A backplane system, comprising:
- a backplane board; and
a backplane controller module having a backplane controller, the backplane controller module being configured to be detachably connected to the backplane board via a small outline dual in-line memory module (SODIMM) connector interface to enable communications between the backplane controller and the backplane board via the SODIMM connector interface, such that the backplane controller is configured to control a plurality of components on the backplane board;
wherein the SODIMM connector interface comprises a SODIMM connector pin set provided on the backplane controller module and a SODIMM connector socket disposed on the backplane board, the SODIMM connector pin set is a 144-pin SODIMM connector having 144 contact pins and is configured to be detachably inserted into the SODIMM connector socket, and the 144 contact pins comprise;
backplane controller host related pins;
reset and programming pins;
configuration and strapping pins; and
miscellaneous and reserved pins.

Abstract
A backplane system, which includes a backplane board and a backplane controller module having a backplane controller. The backplane controller module is configured to be detachably connected to the backplane board via a small outline dual in-line memory module (SODIMM) connector interface to enable communications between the backplane controller and the backplane board via the SODIMM connector interface, such that the backplane controller is configured to control a plurality of components on the backplane board. Specifically, the SODIMM connector interface may include a SODIMM connector socket disposed on the backplane board, and a SODIMM connector pin set provided on the backplane controller module to be detachably inserted into the SODIMM connector socket. The SODIMM connector pin set may be a 144-pin SODIMM connector having 144 contact pins.
