Abstract
The card mounting configuration includes a card with a height that is approximately half that of conventional cards and integration of a front plate and a back plate of the card with a support to prevent circuit board distortion. A card ejector is attached on the front plate, and a plug-in connector is provided on the back plate. A housing with guides to receive the cards contains two levels, upper and lower, wherein six cards are mounted into each level. A plug-in connector on the card passes through a hole in a back board or supplemental backplane of the housing and is connected to a part of an external line connector that appears inside the housing.
