Abstract: A device is provided in which messages are received from a backplane through backplane connectors. Switching circuitry identifies which messages received from the backplane are intended for the operational circuitry of the device and interprets the input/output protocol of such messages while returning messages not intended for the operational circuitry to the backplane. The switching circuitry is removable from the device independently of the backplane connectors, allowing it to be changed for use with different backplane protocols without affecting other device elements.
