Abstract
A chassis design and methodology providing for the use of multiple power supply unit and other module form factors without chassis redesign. This increases usable life and future upgradability (in terms of power, for example) for network platforms. The chassis design utilizes a power supply unit or other module slot that includes a width adjustment mechanism, such as a scissor mechanism. The chassis design utilizes variable mounting holes and a movable backplane printed circuit board assembly and edge connector for accommodating various power supply unit or other module lengths. Thus, an adaptive chassis design accommodating multi form factor pluggable modules in network applications, such as multi form factor pluggable power supply units in high power network applications, is provided.
