Abstract
A system for use in testing and/or installing software onto a personal computer system unit includes a pallet for supporting the system unit and a rack having at least one docking station for removably accommodating the pallet. The pallet has data and power sockets for the system unit and a set of data and power contacts each connected to a respective contact in one of the data and power connectors. The docking station has a complementary set of data and power contacts adapted for one-to-one engagement with the set of data and power contacts of the pallet when the pallet is located in the docking station.
