Abstract
A method capable of interconnecting modular computer system components includes attaching a secondary chassis to a primary chassis, attaching a motherboard to an interior portion of the primary chassis, and attaching an external device to an interior portion of the secondary chassis. The method further includes connecting a first electrical connector on a bridgeboard with an electrical connector on the motherboard, connecting a second electrical connector on the bridgeboard with an electrical connector on the external device, and attaching the bridgeboard to at least one of the primary chassis and the secondary chassis.
