For example, they can refer to a fixed connection, a detachable connection, or an integral connection; they can refer to a mechanical connection or an electrical connection; they can refer to a direct connection or an indirect connection through an intermediate medium. Those skilled in the art can understand the specific meaning of the above terms in this utility model according to the specific circumstances.
[0032] This utility model provides a pluggable CPCIE backplane mounting structure, including a guide rail, CPCIE board 1, CPCIE backplane 2, and backplane bracket 3. The guide rail is installed in the board placement area on the server equipment enclosure 4, the backplane bracket 3 is installed in the backplane placement area on the enclosure 4, the CPCIE backplane 2 is located in the backplane placement area and connected to the backplane bracket 3, and the CPCIE board 1 can be plugged into the CPCIE backplane 2 along the guide rail. This utility model provides a pluggable CPCIE backplane mounting structure. When installing CPCIE board 1 and CPCIE backplane 2, the operator only needs to place CPCIE board 1 into the guide rail and slide CPCIE board 1 along the length of the guide rail. This will align the interface on CPCIE board 1 with the interface on CPCIE backplane 2, thereby achieving plug-in connection between the two without damaging the board-to-board connector. This solves the technical problem in the prior art where the interfaces of CPCIE board and CPCIE backplane are misaligned during installation, which can damage the board-to-board connector.
[0033] As an optional implementation, the guide rails include a left guide rail 5 and a right guide rail 6, which are respectively installed on opposite sides of the board placement area. The two ends of the CPCIE board 1 can be slidably connected to the left guide rail 5 and the right guide rail 6, respectively. There is a gap between the left guide rail 5 and the right guide rail 6, and the CPCIE board 1 will slide between the left guide rail 5 and the right guide rail 6. The CPCIE backplate 2 is located at the open end on one side of the gap so that the interface on the CPCIE backplate 2 is aligned with the interface on the CPCIE board 1.
[0034] As an optional implementation, upper stop bars 51 and lower stop bars 52 are provided on opposite sides of both the left guide rail 5 and the right guide rail 6. The upper stop bar 51 is located above the lower stop bar 52, and a sliding groove is provided between the upper stop bar 51 and the lower stop bar 52. Guide plates 14 are provided on the left and right sides of the CPCIE board 1. The ends of the guide plates 14 are inserted into the sliding grooves, and the guide plates 14 are slidably connected to the sliding grooves.

When installing the CPCIE board 1 and the CPCIE backplate 2, the auxiliary puller 12 needs to be held down, and then the CPCIE board 1 is placed between the left guide rail 5 and the right guide rail 6. Then, it is slid along the length of the guide rail until the first component 13 and the second component 22 are inserted. After that, the auxiliary puller 12 is released, so that the auxiliary puller 12 is engaged with the board limiting hole 61. Then, the board mounting hole 54 and the first mounting hole 11 are connected by screws to fix the CPCIE board 1. This connection structure ensures that the interfaces are plugged in correctly and that the two boards do not become dislodged during use or vibration, making it both safe and stable.
