1. A power supply assembly configured to connect with a connector, the power supply assembly comprising:
a housing;
a power supply unit disposed within the housing; and
an adjustable plate module movably disposed on a floor of the housing adjacent to a bottom surface of the power supply unit, the adjustable plate module including:
a plate movably mounted to the floor and having two planar surfaces positioned at different heights with respect to the floor;
a shaft fixedly coupled to and extending outwardly from the plate, the shaft configured to move between a first position and a second position to transition the connector between the two planar surfaces for mating with the power supply unit;
a stopper panel disposed adjacent to a distal end of the shaft and having an opening therein for accommodating the shaft; and
a compressible device disposed around the shaft such that a displacement of the plate causes the compressible device to compress against the stopper panel and facilitate movement of the shaft from the first position to the second position.
