Description

Hard disk backboard
Technical Field
The invention belongs to the technical field of computers, and particularly relates to a hard disk backboard.
Background
With the continuous integration of technologies such as internet of things, social networks, cloud computing and the like into our lives, data accumulated by human beings continuously grow and accumulate in various fields such as internet, communication, finance, commerce, medical treatment and the like, and the whole data center industry is impacted by the unprecedented growing trend of mass data.
Against the background of such market demands, how to increase the storage capacity of the server in a limited space becomes important. The e1.s SSD is a new type of hard disk that can provide larger storage capacity in a smaller size and higher data read and write rates than other types of hard disks. If the E1.S SSD needs to be used in the server, a backboard supporting the E1.S SSD needs to be designed, and the E1.S SSD is connected with a CPU on a server mainboard through the backboard. According to the size definition of the 1U server and the size definition of the E1.S SSD, the 1U server can support 32E1.S SSDs at most, and the patent provides a design method for supporting 32E1.S SSD backplanes.
The types of hard disks used for storing data by the current server include SAS SATA hard disks, NVME hard disks, etc., the e1.s SSD is a new hard disk type, and compared with other types of hard disks, a larger storage capacity can be provided in a smaller size, and the data read-write speed is also higher, the e1.s SSD establishes a connection with a CPU on a server motherboard through a backplane, and at present, there is no backplane capable of supporting the e1.s SSD.
Compared with the E1.S SSD, the conventional SAS SATA hard disk and NVME hard disk ruler are also larger, 10 2.5 hard disks can be placed in a 1U server applied to a 19' cabinet at most, so that the storage density is lower, and the heat dissipation effect of the server is poor due to the larger size of the hard disks. Meanwhile, compared with the E1.S SSD, the SAS SATA hard disk has a slower read-write speed. In order to use the e1.s SSD in the server, a backplane supporting the e1.s SSD needs to be designed currently, and the e1.s SSD establishes a connection with the CPU on the server motherboard through the backplane.

All other embodiments, which can be derived by a person skilled in the art from the embodiments given herein without making any creative effort, shall fall within the protection scope of the present invention.
It should be noted that the embodiments and features of the embodiments may be combined with each other without conflict.
In the description of the present invention, it should be noted that, unless otherwise explicitly specified or limited, the terms "mounted," "connected," and "connected" are to be construed broadly, e.g., as meaning either a fixed connection, a removable connection, or an integral connection; can be mechanically or electrically connected; they may be connected directly or indirectly through intervening media, or they may be interconnected between two elements. The specific meaning of the above terms in the present invention can be understood by those of ordinary skill in the art through specific situations.

A connection link is established between PCIe Swtichs through a PCIe4.0, and when the CUP1 needs to read and write the E1.S SSD attached under the Swtich0, data flow reaches the PCIeSwtich0 through the PCIe4.0 link between the PCIe Swtichs, so that the read-write operation is completed. The whole read-write process does not occupy the computing resource of the CPU0 and the UPI bus resource between the CPUs. Similarly, when the CPU0 needs to read and write the e1.s SSD attached under the switch1, it will not occupy the computing resources of the CPU1 and the UPI bus resources between the CPUs.
