Description of the Invention: [Technical Field] The present invention relates to a fan control connection technology, and more particularly to a connection device that can be used to integrate an information device with a suitable wind and a connection to a connection device. A method and a device for connecting a plurality of types of fans that do not require replacement of the connecting device due to different fan specifications. [Prior Art] In the computing system, improving system performance has become an urgent need. 'This situation is particularly prominent in servers and mainframes. Users must find new ways to reduce energy consumption in the system. Opportunity, in the server field, 'the growth of the Internet especially promotes the need for server clustering, while large server clusters are usually set at key nodes, and high-speed access to the national communications backbone is provided by multiple trunks. . ^Because the office building is usually built in the rent (4) section, this directly leads to the high cost of the unit cost per square inch of the machine room area of the women's feeding machine plus the need for higher bandwidths. In the past year, the typical size of the server has been reduced to a single one: the cabinet f can contain 4 processors, and the unit of the processor is also improved by - times. - Straight, the central processing = the power is proportional to the working frequency, so in just a few years, for the service crying H to 6 tons of bone about 2 (frequency multiplication) x4 (processing 11 number) χ 5 (feeding rack space Reduction), 〇 times. The consumption of ^^ is achieved by reducing the air flow of the fan, or by using a fan to remove the fan. For a typical feeding device 19040 (revised version) 5 !310490 ::, there is a significant reduction The opportunity for power consumption. _ a single unit can have 7 fans on the eve, each fan consumes 1 amp of current, = need more energy in a more dense new server to generate two airflow, so the system More fans have been added to it. If the power consumption of the server is 500 watts, then each fan needs to be responsible for 7 watts of circuit, and the π to attack project requires 12 watts of power. It is clear from this simple example that the simple method of increasing the air flow has led to a decrease in efficiency. The effect of the fan usage on the system is closed. When the electronic load reaches the corrugated condition (not the worst case), the power loss of the fan becomes the most serious part of the system, so after the performance reaches the sail, The space that is lost = becomes very limited. By eliminating the loss of a fan tile, a new busbar converter 2 into the AC/DC converter can reduce the loss of this portion by η watts. The efficiency of the other part and the off-line rectifier (buck converter) can be reduced by a similar loss. 50 at the full load condition. /. about. A loss of the day ..., under light load, the fan accounts for a large proportion of the total power loss = 'loyalty is why many fans of the desktop and notebook type can turn off the fan whenever possible. The dynamic (motor) that can be used in conjunction with the power converter can greatly improve the light and negative, in the above, the variable speed fan drive == frequency increase In addition to Bu, ... used to reduce noise. In addition to the fan power and noise problems to be improved, Servo 19040 (Revised Edition) 6 1310490. There are also integration problems in the use of fans of different specifications in the server system. The current general server system can be used with three types of fans: 1U Fan Harness, 2U Non-Redundant Fan and 2U Redundant Fan. On the intermediate platform, it is necessary to design a circuit suitable for three types of fans, and it must be used in conjunction with a different fan. Different connectors, which cause circuit design and integration and installation problems, the job is to provide a system that can integrate three kinds of fans. When the server uses different fans, it can be applied to each system without changing the connection device. The platform is a technical problem that needs to be solved at present. [Invention] In view of the shortcomings of the above prior art The main purpose of the present invention is to provide a connection method and device for a plurality of types of fans, which are suitable for use in an information device (such as a server), and can integrate the connection pins required by a plurality of types of fans to enable the servo. When different fans are installed for heat dissipation operation, the connection device can be directly connected without using a connection device, thereby simplifying the fan connection circuit and the φ exemption circuit design, that is, the inconvenience of installation. To achieve the above object, the present invention provides a plurality of types that can be applied. A method for connecting a fan, the method comprising: first connecting a plurality of types of fans (such as 1U Harness, 2U Non-Redundant, and 2U Redundant Fan); and connecting the connecting pins required by the plurality of fans When connecting the device, and when the fan is replaced, the connection pin required by the fan is correspondingly connected to the connecting device. The connecting device applicable to the plurality of fans provided by the present invention is applicable to an alternative fan type. In the information device, 俾 can be directly replaced by 7 19040 (Revised Edition) 1310490. The connection device provided by the present invention is replaced with another Fan, the connecting " means groups based on the provided device information contained in the intermediate platform is provided on the motherboard the group 'integrated system having a connection pin connecting a plurality of kinds of the fan required for the operation, such as
Power、PWM、Led、Fan presence、Tach_l 及 Tach_2 等。 綜上所述，本發明所提供之可適用複數種風扇之連接 方法及裝置乃先行將複數種風扇所需搭接之連接腳位整合 於一連接裝置上，藉以解決先前技術之作法導致使用者於 更換不同風扇時，須配合替換不同之連接裝置所造成之不 便，因而可確實解決先前技術所存在之問題。 【實施方式】 以下係藉由特定的具體實例說明本發明之實施方 式，熟悉此技藝之人士可由本說明書所揭示之内容輕易地 暸解本發明之其他優點與功效。本發明亦可藉由其他不同 的具體實例加以施行或應用，本說明書中的各項細節亦可 基於不同觀點與應用，在不悖離本發明之精神下進行各種 0修飾與變更。 實施例 第1圖係為一流程圖，其係用以顯示本發明之可適用 複數種風扇之方法將複數種風扇運作所需之連接腳位整合 於一連接裝置之步驟流程，本發明方法係適用於一資訊設 備（如伺服器）所含主機板組設之中間平台上，如圖所示， 本發明之可適用複數種風扇之方法係包括： 於步驟S1中，先行彙整出複數種風扇（如1U Harness、2U Non-Redundant 及 2U Redundant Fan 等）所 8 19040(修正版） 1310490 •需搭接之連接腳位，接著，進至步驟S2。 於步驟S2中，係將於步驟S1 -扇所需之腳位整合於一連接裝置上，^所传之複數種風 於步驟S3中，當使用者欲 進至步驟83。 時，僅兩处Γ7Θ h 土機板上使用不同風扇 連接能料冑⑼似輕相互間之 =接：樣，即可令不同的風扇均可於同—連接裝之 示此之外，使用者亦可按 " 接梦署1- ^ Λ丨不作業而求，透過變換連 示燈顯亍心,線’控制須於風扇本身或主機板上的指 第轉狀況(實際的聊位接線狀況係如 示圓第3圖及第4圖所示）。 複數L2:係為一方塊圖，其係用以顯示本發明之可適用 =开=連接裝置1於實際使用上與風扇2搭接之示 ::二 ，本發明所提供之連接裝置1系包括有 至聊位10共10個腳位，其分別代表：腳位U 二,腳位2為PWM，腳位3為Ρ-，聊位4為Pwr， Pr h-1，腳位6及聊位7均為Rtn，腳位8為Fan resence，腳位9為LED—Anode與聊位1〇為 HAm)de-Rtn。腳位1至腳位10與風扇2搭接之情形係 Θ不’其中’於第2圖所示之連接裝置1於風扇2之 合接方式係表風扇2為m H_ess風扇之搭接態樣，而第 圖之風扇2係為—2UN〇n_Redundant風扇，第*圖之風 扇則表- 2URedundam風扇，由第2圖至第4圖可知， 無論風扇2的種類為何’藉由本發明所提供之方法及裝置 均僅需調整接線方式即可與連接裝置1搭接運作。 19040(修正版） 9 1310490 上述施例僅為例示性說日林發明之原理及功效，而非 用於限制本發明。任何熟習此項技藝之人士均可在不違背 本發明之精神及範訂，對上述實_進行修飾與變化。 因此本發明之權利保護範圍，應如後述之中請專利 列。 【圖式簡單說明】 第1圖係為一流程圖，其係用以顯示本發明之可適用 複數種風扇之方法將複數種風扇運作戶 斤需之連接腳位整合 於一連接裝置之步驟流程；以及 第2圖至第4圖均為方塊圖，其係用以顯示本發明之 可適用複數種風扇之連接裝置於實際使用上分別與三種風 扇搭接之示意情形。 【主要元件符號說明】 1 — 連接裝置 2 風扇 3 發光二極體 S1_S3步驟 19040(修正版) 10Power, PWM, Led, Fan presence, Tach_l, and Tach_2.
