The '''Standard Modular System''' ('''SMS)''') is a system of standard [[transistor]]ized circuit boards and mounting racks developed by [[IBM]] in the late 1950s, originally for the [[IBM 7030 Stretch]].<ref>{{cite web|url=http://www.computer-museum.ru/books/archiv/ibm36040.pdf#page=18 |title=The 360 Revolution |last=Boyer |first=Chuck |date=April 2004 |publisher=IBM |page=18 |accessdate=25 November 2013}}</ref> They were used throughout IBM's second-generation computers, peripherals, the [[IBM 700/7000 series|7000 series]], the [[IBM 1400 series|1400 series]], and the [[IBM 1620|1620]]. SMS was superseded by [[Solid Logic Technology]] (SLT) introduced with [[System/360]] in 1964, however they remained in use with legacy systems through the 1970s.
