Background With the continuous evolution of the network rate of the data center, an optical module high-speed Input/Output (I/O) connector has become a mainstream interface scheme of the switch due to the characteristics of high density, low power consumption and the like. Currently, to facilitate the insertion and extraction of optical modules or cables by operation and maintenance personnel, the ports of the high-speed I/O connectors on the switch are typically designed in a "front-out" manner, i.e., the ports face the front of the switch, to accommodate the front maintenance wiring requirements of conventional cabinets. However, with the advent of heterogeneous computing scenarios, for example, when a data processing unit (Data Processing Unit, abbreviated as DPU), an AI accelerator card, etc. needs to be closely interconnected with a switch, the ports are required to be disposed "inwards", i.e., toward the interior of the cabinet or adjacent devices, so as to shorten the physical link, reduce the high-speed signal transmission loss, and increase the cabinet space utilization. In order to meet the above-mentioned differentiated deployment requirements, in the related art, different mainboards are designed for different orientations, that is, by changing the wiring layout, the position of the high-speed I/O connector, the chassis structure, and other modes of the circuit printed board (Printed Circuit Board, abbreviated as PCB), the configuration of the ports in front of or inwards is realized.
