Description

A 4U high-density storage server

technical field

The invention relates to a server, in particular to a 4U high-density storage server.

Background technique

A server refers to a computer in a local area network that runs management software to control access to the network or network resources (disk drives, printers, etc.), and can provide resources for computers on the network to operate like a workstation. Servers have higher requirements in terms of stability, security, performance, etc., so hardware such as CPU, chipset, memory, disk system, network, etc. are different from ordinary PCs. The appearance of the rack server does not look like a computer, but a switch, with 1U (1U=1.75 inches=4.45CM), 2U, 4U and other specifications. Rack servers are installed in standard 19-inch cabinets. Most of this structure is a functional server.

U is a unit representing the external size of the server, and is an abbreviation of unit. In order to keep the server at the proper size to be placed on an iron or aluminum rack. There are screw holes for fixing the server on the rack, so that it can be aligned with the screw holes of the server, and then fixed with screws to facilitate the space required for installing each server. The specified dimensions are the width (48.26cm = 19 inches) and height (multiples of 4.445cm) of the server. The basic unit of thickness is 4.445cm. 1U is 4.445cm, 2U is 8.89cm twice that of 1U, and 4u is 17.78cm. The so-called 4U server is a server whose appearance meets the specifications and whose thickness is 4.445*4cm.

With the advent of the era of big data computing, customers' applications require more and more data storage capacity, especially in the Internet field, customers have higher and higher requirements for server storage density. How to solve the problem that traditional storage servers cannot meet the higher requirements of users and customers do not want to add cabinets to expand nodes is an urgent problem for those skilled in the art to solve.
