Abstract

Embodiments of the invention described herein a device, method and system of connecting a first circuit board and a second circuit board using an interface connector. In one aspect, an interface connector is described that is comprised of a casing and a plurality of electrically conductive connectors insulated from one another within the casing. Each connector has a first end and a second end, wherein the first end connects to a first circuit board and the second end connects to a second circuit board. The plurality of connectors form a first row and a second row of the interface connector. The first row is comprised of evenly-numbered connectors and the second row is comprised of odd-numbered connectors. The plurality of connectors are assigned as follows: connectors 1-4, 13-18, 43-61, 68-71, 77, 78, 79, 80, 84, 86, 92 and 94-120 provide electrical paths for general circuit connections between the first circuit board and the second circuit board; connectors 41, 42, 62-67, 72-75 and 81 provide electrical paths for host processor connections between the first circuit board and the second circuit board; and connectors 5-12, 19-40, 76, 82, 83, 85, 87-91 and 93 provide electrical paths…
