Based on the embodiments of this utility model, all other implementation methods obtained by those skilled in the art without creative effort are within the scope of protection of this utility model.

The backplane PCB structure 10 is provided with VPX connectors and CPCIE connectors that are adapted to the VPX board 3 and CPCIE board 7 respectively.

[0043] Compared to existing technologies where the chassis can only accommodate one type of board, requiring the entire chassis to be replaced when changing board types, increasing cost and complexity, this utility model's chassis achieves compatible installation of VPX board 3 and CPCIE board 7. By placing VPX connectors and CPCIE connectors, respectively adapted to VPX board 3 and CPCIE board 7, side-by-side on the backplane PCB structure 10, compatibility with both types of boards is achieved, improving the chassis's compatibility and versatility. Users can flexibly select and install VPX board 3 and / or CPCIE board 7 within the same chassis according to their needs.
