1. A system for positioning circuit boards, comprising:
- a first chassis adapted to receive first circuit boards to operate in the first chassis; and
a second chassis adapted to fit inside the first chassis absent at least a subset of the first circuit boards and to receive second circuit boards in a manner enabling the second circuit boards to operate in the first chassis.

Abstract
A system of circuit board chassis can be configured to accept different types of circuit boards or modules. In one embodiment, a first chassis is adapted to receive a first type of circuit board, and a second chassis is adapted to fit inside the first chassis in place of at least one of the circuit boards. In this embodiment, the second chassis is also adapted to receive circuit boards of a second type, enabling them to operate inside the first chassis. As a result, a system that may have been previously adapted to receive only one type of circuit board may be configured to operate with multiple types of circuit boards.
