whats a compression connector?

Also I took the CPU board apart to find out what CPUs were installed, it had 2 CPUs so i took the CPUs out and they are R10000 2 of em. Some internet research revealed that removing the CPU completely fries the CPU board becuase the LGA brissles get screwed. i hope not. lol. Too late now. If they did, oh well. ill just put solder balls on it and reflow it in, make it a permanent attachment. basically convert the LGA to a BGA

Anyway, i put the system all back together. it has the PCI box, which contains a network card.

it also has 2 funky SUN style video plugs on the cards of the opposite side of the CPU card.

Edit: NVM, google is my friend. its those weird gold connector thingies that interconnect the boards together. I dunno if i touched them or not, i cannot recall.
