An apparatus is provided for mounting a Very Large Scale Integration (VLSI) chip such as a microprocessor on the back plane of a computer chassis. In one embodiment, the mounting on the computer chassis is configured to provide a current supply connection for delivering a high level of current to the microprocessor from a current source through the computer chassis. Also provided is an apparatus for mounting a VLSI chip such as a microprocessor on the chassis of a computer system in order to dissipate heat from the VLSI chip to the ambient outside the computer system through the computer chassis. Also provided is an apparatus for signal interconnections among one or several VLSI chips such as microprocessors mounted on the chassis of a computer to provide signal capacity with strong integrity. Also provided is an apparatus for mounting a power supply for a VLSI chip package on the back chassis of a computer.
