First claim
Opening claim text (preview).
What is claimed is: 1. A cabling module configured for use within an IT component, the cabling module comprising: an enclosure assembly configured to be received within the IT component, wherein the enclosure assembly is configured to be slid into a socket of the IT component; an input connector to receive electrical power from within the IT component, wherein the input connector is configured to releasably engage a rigidly affixed chassis connector positioned within the socket of the IT component while sliding the enclosure assembly of the cabling module into the socket of the IT component; and a plurality of output connectors which receive the electrical power from the input connector and provide the electrical power to a plurality of subcomponents of the IT component. 2. The cabling module of claim 1 wherein the plurality of subcomponents of the IT component includes a plurality of power supply units. 3. The cabling module of claim 2 wherein the plurality of output connectors includes a plurality of electrical cords. 4. The cabling module of claim 3 wherein each of the plurality of electrical cords include a plug configured to releasably engage one of the plurality of power supply units. 5. The cabling module of claim 1 wherein the enclosure assembly is configured to be permanently affixed within the IT component. 6. The cabling module of claim 1 wherein the enclosure assembly is configured to be releasably affixed within the IT component. 7. The cabling module of claim 6 wherein the enclosure assembly is configured to be releasably affixed within the IT component via one or more fasteners. 8. The cabling module of claim 6 wherein the cabling module is configured to be a field replaceable unit. 9. The cabling module of claim 1 wherein the electrical power within the IT component is provided from a plurality of discrete power sources. 10. A cabling module configured for use within an IT component, the cabling module comprising: an enclosure assembly configured to be received within the IT component, wherein the enclosure assembly is configured to be slid into a socket of the IT component; an input connector to receive electrical power from within the IT component, wherein the input connector is configured to releasably engage a rigidly affixed chassis connector positioned within the socket of the IT component while sliding the enclosure assembly of the cabling module into the socket of the IT component; and a plurality of output connectors which receive the electrical power from the input connector and provide the electrical power to a plurality of subcomponents of the IT component, wherein the plurality of subcomponents of the IT component includes a plurality of power supply units. 11. The cabling module of claim 10 wherein the plurality of output connectors includes a plurality of electrical cords. 12. The cabling module of claim 11 wherein each of the plurality of electrical cords include a plug configured to releasably engage one of the plurality of power supply units. 13. The cabling module of claim 10 wherein the enclosure assembly is configured to be permanently affixed within the IT component. 14. The cabling module of claim 10 wherein the enclosure assembly is configured to be releasably affixed within the IT component. 15. The cabling module of claim 14 wherein the enclosure assembly is configured to be releasably affixed within the IT component via one or more fasteners. 16. The cabling module of claim 14 wherein the cabling module is configured to be a field replaceable unit. 17. A cabling module configured for use within an IT component, the cabling module comprising: an enclosure assembly configured to be received and releasably affixed within the IT component, wherein the enclosure assembly is configured to be slid into and out of a socket of the IT component; an input connector to receive electrical power from within the IT component, wherein the input connector is configured to releasably engage a rigidly affixed chassis connector positioned within the socket of the IT component while sliding the enclosure assembly of the cabling module into the socket of the IT component; and a plurality of output connectors which receive the electrical power from the input connector and to provide the electrical power to a plurality of subcomponents of the IT component, wherein the plurality of subcomponents of the IT component includes a plurality of power supply units. 18. The cabling module of claim 17 wherein the enclosure assembly is configured to be releasably affixed within the IT component via one or more fasteners.
