Abstract
Technology is provided for a server platform with a continuously powered server sled. The server platform includes a cubby chassis including partitions defining a plurality of sled positions. A power tray is located in a corresponding one of the plurality of sled positions and a server sled is positioned on and continuously powered by the power tray. The power tray includes a tray chassis having a tray sidewall and a tray bottom wall. A pair of elongate conductors extend along the tray sidewall. A tray connector is mounted on the tray bottom wall and is in electrical communication with the pair of elongate conductors. The server sled includes a sled chassis having a chassis sidewall and a chassis bottom wall. A side-plane printed circuit board is mounted to the chassis sidewall and includes a pair of conductive elements positioned for sliding contact with the elongate conductors.
