Backplane
A backplane functions as the central interconnection hub for a system, essentially a printed circuit board (PCB) populated with standardized slots or connectors. These slots allow for the integration of various daughterboards, like memory modules, network cards, or storage drives. Backplanes offer exceptional scalability and are designed to facilitate high-bandwidth data transfer between connected daughterboards. Certain backplane configurations support hot-swapping, allowing for the replacement of daughterboards without powering down the entire system.
