Abstract
An electronic connection system including a chassis defining at least one tray having a mechanical coupling. A high speed backplane is positioned on the chassis. A tray supports an electrical device such that the tray is engageable with the mechanical coupling to align a tray electrical connector to engage the backplane when the tray is fully engaged with the at least one tray receiving port to establish electrical communication between the electrical device and the high speed backplane. The mechanical coupling provides a structural connection to the chassis for the tray.
