Abstract

An information processing module, for example a server blade, has information connections and storage connections. A carrier, e.g., a rack mountable shelf, is configured to receive a number of information processing modules. A switch module includes a switch connection for each receiving location that is operable to connect a received information processing module to an external information network. The switch module also includes a port bypass controller for each receiving location that is operable to connect a received information processing module to external storage. Redundant connections are included to enhance reliability.
