Abstract
In a method and apparatus for partitioning and packaging a power generation and distribution system, a plurality of power supply modules are distributed along the length of the backplane such that backplane voltage drops are minimized and such that power supply currents flow essentially orthogonal to the signal connections between the backplane slots. In this manner, signal interference is minimized and the need for bus bars on the backplane are substantially reduced or eliminated.
