A connector includes a connector base with a first end that may be inserted in a port, and a second end located opposite the connector base from the first end. A connector release tab extends from the connector base adjacent the first end and moves relative to the connector base. A connector securing feature on the connector release tab may engage a port to secure the connector base in that port. A connector release system includes a connector release linkage coupled to the connector release tab and extending through the connector base, and a connector release actuator adjacent the second end of the connector base and coupled to the connector release linkage. The connector release actuator may be actuated to move, via the connector release linkage, the connector release tab to disengage the connector securing feature from a port such that the connector base may be removed from that port.

A sled mounted processing node apparatus includes a first processing node sled. A first printed circuit board (PCB) is coupled to the processing node sled. Electronic components, including at least one processor, are coupled to the PCB. The apparatus includes a second processing node sled having a second PCB connected to the second processing node sled and a second set of electronic components, including at least one second processor, coupled to the second PCB. The at least one processor and second processor collectively enables increased processing density within a single server chassis. Each processing node sled is configured to be slideably inserted and removed from a server chassis that accommodates concurrent insertion of multiple processing node sleds in respective sled bays of the server chassis.
