Abstract
In accordance with at least some embodiments, a system (100) includes an aggregator backplane (124) coupled to a plurality of fans (120A-120N) and power supplies (122A-122N) and configured to consolidate control and monitoring for the plurality of fans (120A-120N) and power supplies (122A-122N). The system (100) also includes a plurality of compute nodes (102A-102N) coupled to the aggregator backplane (124), wherein each compute node (102A-102N) selectively communicates with the aggregator backplane (124) via a corresponding interposer board (130A-130N). Each interposer board (130A-130N) is configured to translate information passed between its corresponding compute node (102A-102N) and the aggregator backplane (124).
