Abstract
Various examples described herein provide for determining a first data input/output (I/O) type of a computing device module and a second data I/O type of an I/O switch module, where the computing device module and the I/O switch module are coupled through a backplane system that includes a retimer. In response to the first data I/O type matching the second data I/O type, a connection between the computing device module and the I/O switch module may be permitted or prevented via the retimer.
