Abstract
An interconnection system for use with a computer set comprises a connector module PC board (10) on which most I/O connectors (12) are integrated to be mounted. A first mating section (18) is positioned adjacent the bottom edge of the PC board (10) and adapted to mate with a second mating section (22) of a main board (20) in the computer set. A frame (24) is formed on the back side of the computer case, and such connector module PC board (10) is securely but detachably attached to the frame (24). As an alternative to connector (18) contact pads (15) at the bottom edge of the board (10) are usable to mate with a vertically positioned connector on the main board (20). In another embodiment (FIG. 4) a right angle adapter (54) is used to electrically join a connector module PC board (50) to a main board (56).
