Abstract
A universal receiving frame (1) to be mounted in a drive bay of a chassis or storage enclosure that is interfaced with a host computer. The universal receiving frame is capable of interchangeably receiving different removable computer drive carriers (40, 52) having respective remote computer drives (42, 54) that are configured for parallel and serial operation. A printed circuit board (26, 60) is mounted on the back wall (5) of the universal receiving frame (1) in which an incoming removable drive carrier is slidably received. A suitable (e.g. a Serial ATA) interface (34) and a serial-to-parallel bridge (36, 62) are located on the printed circuit board (26, 60) of the frame, whereby different removable carriers (40, 52), regardless of drive configuration, can communicate with the chassis by way of the same receiving frame (1). In an alternate embodiment, which eliminates the universal receiving frame, the removable carriers (72) are connected to one side of a backplane (74) within the chassis (70) and pull-out peripheral circuit boards (78) are connected to the opposite side. A serial-to-parallel bridge (84) is mounted on each of the removable carriers (72) and a serial-to-serial or serial-to-parallel converter (86) is mounted on each of the peripheral circuit boards (78).
