1. A rack server comprising:
a rack server chassis;
a plurality of backplane printed circuit boards (PCBs) coupled to the rack server chassis, each backplane PCB comprising a plurality of cantilevered beams, each cantilevered beam of the plurality of cantilevered beams comprising a receiver slot to receive a server element; and
a serial attached small computer serial interface (SAS) expander circuit element residing on each backplane PCB, the SAS expander circuit element electrically connected to the receiver slot of each cantilevered beam of the plurality of cantilevered beams;
wherein the plurality of cantilevered beams comprises:
a first set of cantilevered beams proximate to a first end of each backplane PCB;
a second set of cantilevered beams adjacent to the first set of cantilevered beams and residing towards a second end of each backplane PCB, the first end opposite the second end; and
wherein the SAS expander circuit element resides at a location on each backplane PCB between the first set of cantilevered beams and the second set of cantilevered beams, and
wherein the SAS expander circuit element is electrically connected to the receiver slot of each cantilevered beam of the first set and second set of cantilevered beams.
