Abstract
An interposer module may be used between a unified architecture blade compute module and a mid-plane of a present technology blade compute module system. The interposer module may contain input-output controllers for desired input-output fabrics. The mid-plane couples these input-output controllers to associated input-output fabric switches. The same unified architecture blade compute module may also be used without the interposer module in a new technology blade compute module system having multi-context fabric input-output controllers. The multi-context fabric input-output controllers may be coupled to the unified architecture blade compute modules of the information handling system by a switch such as a PCI Express (PCIe) switch.
