In the present embodiment, the server 10 includes a housing 100, a motherboard 200, a switch card 300, a plurality of interface cards 400, a connector 500, and a network card 600.
In the present embodiment, the housing 100 includes a bottom plate 110, two side plates 120, a rear plate 130 and a top plate 140. Two side plates 120 stand on opposite sides of the bottom plate 110. The rear plate 130 stands on the bottom plate 110 and connects the two side plates 120. The top plate 140 is connected to the two side plates 120 and the side of the rear plate 130 away from the bottom plate 110. The bottom plate 110, the two side plates 120, the rear plate 130 and the top plate 140 together form a receiving space 105. In the present embodiment, the rear plate 130 has two openings 131. The two openings 131 are communicated with the accommodating space 105.
The motherboard 200 is disposed in the chassis 100. The adapter card 300 stands on the motherboard 200. The interface cards 400 are parallel to each other and electrically connected to the motherboard 200 through the adapter card 300. In other embodiments, the server may also include only one interface card. In still other embodiments, the server may not need to include a transit card or an interface card.
Please refer to fig. 3 to fig. 5. Fig. 4 is a partial enlarged view of a perspective view of a motherboard, a connector, and a network card of the server of fig. 1. Fig. 5 is a perspective view of a network card of the server of fig. 1. The connector 500 is disposed and electrically connected to the motherboard 200. The connector 500 conforms to the m.2 specification, for example.
In the present embodiment, the network card 600 conforms to the m.2 standard, for example, and includes a network circuit board 610, a network chip 620, a heat sink 630, two network connectors 640 and an insulating film 650.
In the present embodiment, the network circuit board 610 is interposed between the interface cards 400 and the motherboard 200. The network circuit board 610 has a top surface 611, a bottom surface 612, a side edge 613 and an electrical connection port 614. The top surface 611 and the bottom surface 612 are opposite to each other. The side edge 613 connects the top surface 611 and the bottom surface 612. The electrical connection port 614 is provided at the side edge 613, for example. The electrical connection port 614 is plugged into the connector 500. The network chip 620 is disposed on the top surface 611 of the network circuit board 610, for example. The heat sink 630 is in thermal contact with the network chip 620 and is located on a side of the network chip 620 away from the network circuit board 610. Further, the heat sink 630 is made of aluminum, for example.
Two network connectors 640 are stacked on the bottom surface 612 of the network circuit board 610, for example. A portion of each network connector 640 protrudes above the top surface 611. In addition, the network connector 640 is exposed to the opening 131 of the rear plate 130 for the network plug 20 to be inserted. When the network card 600 according to the present utility model is used, the back plate 130 does not need to be additionally designed for opening or avoiding, and the plugging of other input/output ports is not affected.
In the present embodiment, the network chip 620 and the two network connectors 640 are respectively stacked on two opposite sides of the network circuit board 610. In this way, more interface cards 400 can be disposed on the side of the network circuit board 610 away from the motherboard 200, so as to improve the space utilization efficiency of the accommodating space 105.
The insulating film 650 is made of, for example, a polyester film (Mylar). The heat sink 630 is interposed between the insulating film 650 and the top surface 611, and a portion of each network connector 640 protruding from the top surface 611 is interposed between the insulating film 650 and the top surface 611. That is, the insulating film 650 is interposed between the interface cards 400 and the heat sink 630, and between the interface cards 400 and the network connector 640. In this way, the insulating film 650 prevents the interface cards 400 and the heat sink 630 from contacting each other to generate a short circuit, and prevents the interface cards 400 and the network connector 640 from contacting each other to generate a short circuit. In other embodiments, the network card may not include an insulating film.
In other embodiments, the network card may also include only one network connector. In such an embodiment, the rear panel of the housing may also include only one opening.
According to the network card and the server disclosed in the above embodiments, since the electrical connection port of the network circuit board conforms to the m.2 specification, the network card of the m.2 specification can share the same connector conforming to the m.2 specification with the hard disk of the m.2 specification. Therefore, the connector conforming to the M.2 specification on the motherboard can be used for plugging a hard disk conforming to the M.2 specification or a network card conforming to the M.2 specification, so that the space in the server shell can be more effectively utilized and the flexibility of the configuration of the network card can be improved. That is, the design of the network circuit board with the electrical connection port conforming to the m.2 standard will not affect the use of the hard disk conforming to the m.2 standard, but also increase the expansion possibility of other expansion cards such as the network card.
In addition, the signal transmission is carried out through the electric connection port which accords with the M.2 specification in the network circuit board and the motherboard according to the utility model. Therefore, compared with the network card and the motherboard connected by the cable, the network card and the motherboard have better signal transmission quality.
Furthermore, through performance testing, the throughput (throughput) of the network connector can reach more than 85%, even approximately or more than 90% of the test network speed.
Although the present utility model has been described with reference to the above embodiments, it should be understood that the utility model is not limited thereto, but rather may be modified or altered somewhat by persons skilled in the art without departing from the spirit and scope of the utility model.
