SECOND TRINAL(First Assignment)

BACKPLANE FORM FACTOR
Now for the final form factor called the Backplane; this form factor in a sense is not a motherboard because of the fact it sites on the back of case instead on the side of one. The backplanes have two forms; the Active, which contains no circuits other the ones used for drivers, bus and buffer, and the other version called a Passive Backplane uses no circuits whatsoever, but in all actuality they are put onto the CPU card which is connected to a processor. You will find these form factors in all servers and rack mounted computer systems.
