The system also includes a second frame installed in the rack. The second frame includes a second frame shuffle that interconnects resource modules within the second frame and a second rocker-arm plenum communicatively coupled to the first rocker-arm plenum, wherein the second rocker-arm plenum interconnects resource modules of the second frame with resource modules of other frames of the rack through the high-bandwidth fabric. The system further includes a frame bridge. The frame bridge includes a first bracket slidably connected to a second bracket. The second bracket contains a data connector including a first terminal and a second terminal such that the data connector is contained within the frame bridge, and wherein the first terminal is coupled to the first frame shuffle and the second terminal is coupled to the second frame shuffle such that the first frame shuffle is communicatively coupled to the second frame shuffle.
