In the embodiment of the disclosure, the switch and the server are put on the shelf before the pre-deployment line frame and the cabinet are assembled, namely, the switch and the server are placed in corresponding accommodating units in the cabinet; and after assembling the pre-deployment management line frame and the cabinet body, connecting the pre-deployed cables with the corresponding servers and the corresponding switches so as to realize electric connection and communication connection.

In other embodiments, the equipment shelving may also be performed synchronously with S502, or the equipment shelving is performed after S502, which is not limited herein.

In an alternative embodiment of the present disclosure, the cable includes at least one of a direct-connect cable, a network cable, and a power supply cable.

In the embodiments of the present disclosure, the direct connection cable, i.e., the DAC, is explained in the foregoing terms and is not described herein. The network cable is used for transmitting network signals, and the power line is used for providing power supply signals.

In other embodiments, the cable may also include other kinds of cables connecting the switch and the server, which is not limited herein.

Based on this, on the basis of fig. 6, S502 may specifically include:

in the pre-deployment cable management rack, for the direct connection cables and/or network cables, the cables and/or network cables are managed in a branching mode by taking the switch connected with each cable and/or network cable as a center along the arrangement direction of the servers on two sides, and the cables are led out at the positions corresponding to the connection servers to be plugged with the ports of the servers.

In the embodiment of the disclosure, when cables are pre-deployed in the pre-deployment cable management rack, based on the relative positions of the switch and the servers, the cables are managed in a cross manner towards two sides respectively by taking the switch as a center, and the cables are led out at the positions corresponding to the servers, so as to ensure that the cables are plugged with the ports of the corresponding servers, and the cables after plugging are uniformly distributed, and no winding and no cross exist among the cables.

After the pre-deployment cable arrangement rack is assembled with the cabinet body, cables outgoing from the cables are correspondingly inserted into ports of the servers, the cables after insertion are uniformly distributed in the cabinet body, and the cables are not wound or crossed, so that the cables are ensured to be clearly arranged and are convenient to find; meanwhile, due to the fact that the cables are not wound and crossed, signal influence among different cables is small, and signal accuracy is high.

In the embodiment of the disclosure, the cable pre-deployment mode in the pre-deployment management rack is set, so that the pre-deployed cables and the cables after the servers and the switches are connected in the cabinet body are clearly organized and are convenient to search; and the mutual signal interference is small, and the signal accuracy is high.

In an alternative embodiment of the present disclosure, the outgoing lengths of the cables at the locations corresponding to the respective servers are the same, i.e. all uniform.

In the embodiment of the disclosure, the outgoing length of the cable is the length of the cable extending out of the pre-deployment management rack, and the outgoing length is equal to the length of the cable from the pre-deployment management rack to the port of the server, is related to the distance between the pre-deployment management rack and the port of the server, and depends on the type of the server.

For example, taking the length of the cable between the applicable pre-deployment routing frame in the liquid-cooled cabinet kylin 3.0 server to the corresponding server port as an example: the ports may include network cable jack ports, such as RJ 45; may also include 4 direct-connect cable patch ports, such as optical port 0, optical port 1, optical port 2, and optical port 3; the outlet length corresponding to RJ45 is 210mm, the outlet length corresponding to optical port 0 is 180mm, the outlet length corresponding to optical port 1 is 200mm, the outlet length corresponding to optical port 2 is 220mm, and the outlet length corresponding to optical port 3 is 240 mm.

It is understood that in other embodiments, the outgoing length of the cable corresponding to each server may be determined based on the distance between the pre-deployed distribution rack and the server port, may be set based on the requirements of the cabinet and the assembly method thereof, and is not limited herein.

In the embodiment of the disclosure, the outgoing lengths of the cables at the positions corresponding to the servers are all uniform, so that the deployment regularity of the cables is high, and the simplification of the deployment process of the cables is facilitated.

In an alternative embodiment of the present disclosure, the length of the cable in the pre-deployment line rack is equal to the linear distance between the corresponding connected switch and server.

In the embodiment of the disclosure, the length of the cable in the pre-deployment rack, that is, the length of the cable in the space defined by the pre-deployment rack without extending out of the pre-deployment rack, is equal to the linear distance between the switch and the corresponding connected server, and the pre-deployed cable is arranged approximately straight in the pre-deployment rack. In connection with the above, the length of the cable in the pre-deployment management rack may be a U-bit length between the housing units where the switches and servers are placed correspondingly. In other embodiments, the length may also be characterized in units of length, such as centimeters or millimeters, and is not limited herein.

In the embodiment of the disclosure, the length of the cables in the pre-deployment management rack is equal to the linear distance between the correspondingly connected switches and the servers, so that the pre-deployed cables can be arranged in the pre-deployment management rack in a straight manner, the arrangement is clear, the cables are not easy to wind, and the signal interference between the cables is small.

In other embodiments, the length of the cable in the pre-deployment management rack may also be greater than the linear distance between the correspondingly connected switch and the server, so as to reserve sufficient adjustable length to achieve flexible adjustment of the length of the cable.

In an alternative embodiment of the present disclosure, on the basis of fig. 6, the pre-deployment process further includes:

and reserving a camber between the port of the server and the pre-deployment management line frame.

In the embodiment of the disclosure, a reserved bend is arranged between the port of the server and the pre-deployment management line frame, so as to realize flexible splicing and length fine adjustment between the cable and the port of the server.

For example, taking a liquid-cooled cabinet kylin 3.0 server as an example, the reserved bending degree of the cable can be increased by 5 cm-8 cm on the basis of the lengths without calculating the structural length of the cable.

In other embodiments, when the method is applied to other types of liquid-cooled cabinets and correspondingly accommodated servers, the length range of the reserved camber may also be other values or value ranges, and is not limited herein.

In the embodiment of the disclosure, by arranging in the process of pre-deploying the cable, a bend is also reserved between the port of the server and the pre-deployment management line frame, so that the length fine adjustment after the cable is plugged is conveniently realized, and the effective connection between the cable and the server is ensured.

According to the assembling method of the cabinet, the cable deployment operation can be performed in the preposed cable deployment mode, the cable deployment in the pre-deployment arranging line frame can be performed before the equipment is put on the shelf, the cable deployment does not need to be performed after the equipment in the cabinet body is put on the shelf, and therefore after the equipment is put on the shelf, the plugging and the length fine adjustment of the cable are performed, the cabinet is assembled quickly, the time for implementing the delivery process is shortened, and the rapid delivery capability is achieved.

Meanwhile, the vertical arrangement of cables in the cabinet body is not needed, the process that the interior of the cabinet body is possibly polluted due to the fact that the cables are arranged in advance and bound is carried out outside the cabinet body, only the length adjustment and the connection operation of the cables are carried out in the cabinet body, and the situation that construction waste and the like are possibly polluted is avoided, so that the time for arranging the cables in the cabinet body is shortened, the efficiency is improved, meanwhile, the risk of liquid pollution in the interior of the cabinet body and the liquid pollution in the interior of the cabinet body due to the fact that the interior of the cabinet is exposed for a long time is reduced, and the operation safety and the stability of equipment in the cabinet and the whole cabinet are improved.
