Abstract
A multi-node server platform including a cubby chassis and at least one multi-server sled. The cubby chassis includes partitions defining a plurality of sled positions. The multi-server sled includes a chassis having a vertical sidewall and a horizontal bottom wall with an open top and an open side. A side-plane PCB is mounted to the vertical sidewall and a plurality of dividers are attached to the bottom wall and oriented perpendicular to the side-plane PCB. One or more server cards are connected to the side-plane PCB and are supported the plurality of dividers. The server cards include a server PCB having a first side facing the bottom wall and an outward facing second side enclosing the open top of the sled chassis. A cover is coupled to the horizontal bottom wall to enclose the open side of the sled chassis and help direct airflow across the server cards.
