Abstract
A memory module includes persistent-storage memory chips and an auxiliary voltage connector for powering the persistent-storage memory chips. An auxiliary power cable has a first end coupled to an electronic power source on the system board and has a second end having connector that plugs in to the auxiliary voltage connector on the memory module to provide power to the persistent-storage memory chips. The auxiliary power cable also resists movement of a latch lever to require disconnecting the auxiliary power cable before ejecting the memory module.
