摘要：A system and method for configuring a system in which one or more centrally
located computers are coupled to one or more human interfaces (HIs), and in which
removable function modules are used to provide additional functionality to the
computers. Each computer includes all the elements that make up a standard personal
computer, such as a PC motherboard with a microprocessor CPU, memory, and network
and interface logic, configured on a single card, and is called a computer card. The system
includes a cabinet, or cage, with slots for accepting a plurality of computer cards, and a
cage connector which couples to each inserted computer card. A removable function
module engages the cage connector via a module connector. The use of the cage
connector as an intermediate connection between the computer cards and the function
module allows removal and/or exchange of computer cards without the need to
disconnect the cables from the cage, as well as removal and/or exchange of the function
module without the need to disconnect the computer cards. Each removable function
module includes cable connectors corresponding to each computer card slot which may
couple to one or more cables for communicating with external systems, such as networks
and/or human interface devices, and circuitry which provides additional functionality to
the computer cards. Each removable function module may include multiple circuit boards
to provide multiple additional functions to the system, such as network processes,
switching, routing, analog and digital telephony, video, audio, or other functions.
