Embodiment

Below in conjunction with accompanying drawing preferred embodiment of the present utility model is described, should be appreciated that preferred embodiment described herein only is used for description and interpretation the utility model, and be not used in restriction the utility model.

Fig. 1 is the perspective structure figure according to extendible blade server of the present utility model.Extendible blade server 100 comprises: support 106 has relative end face 108 and bottom surface 110; Blade server body 102 is fixed on the bottom surface 110 of support 106; And widening parts 104, be fixed on the end face 108 of support 106 and with blade server 102 and be electrically connected.

Extendible blade server 100 also comprises: the interface unit 114 that is electrically connected between blade server body 102 and widening parts 104.Wherein, interface unit 114 is the RISER card.This RISER card is the RESER card of PCI-Express * 16 passages, can insert various function cards at this RESER card, thereby realizes the function expansion of blade server.The agreement of moving mainly is the PCI-Express protocol signal on PCI-Express * 16 slots, and be extensively unified standard of industry, has widely the function card based on this agreement, so adopt this interface can directly use existing function card based on PCI-Express (for example based on calculating the GPU card that strengthens, HBA card based on the storage expansion), do not need to do secondary development.Yet, the demand different according to the client, this passage RISER agreement that card moves can be other function cards, to satisfy other users' demand.

The support 106 of this extendible blade server 100 has two opposing sidewalls 112 that project upwards preset distance D3 from end face 108, wherein, preset distance is less than or equal to the thickness D1 (with reference to figure 2) of blade server, and the RISER card can be arranged on two opposing sidewalls 112, alternatively, the RISER card can be arranged on the end face 108.The size design of opposing sidewalls can take full advantage of the finite space in the cabinet.

The bottom surface 110 of the support 106 of extendible blade server 100 and end face 108 are made up of with the second portion with second width W 2 first with first width W 1 respectively, forming recess 118, and bottom surface 110 and end face 108 have the shape identical with blade server 100.Particularly, Fig. 2 is the structural drawing according to existing blade server of the present utility model.Blade server body 102 has the first of first length L 1 and first width W 1 and the second portion with second length L 2 and second width W 2, and in addition, the thickness of blade server body is D1.And the length L 2 of second portion is less than the width W 2 of the length L 1 of first and the second portion width W 1 less than first, thereby blade server has recessed recess.Wherein, power interface 116 is arranged on the edge of the recess 118 of end face 108 and bottom surface 110.As shown in Figure 2, power interface 116 is formed on the first place.Alternatively, power interface 116 also can be formed on the edge of the recess 118 in the first.

Preferably, in the scope of the distance between 110 bottom surfaces and the end face 108 between the thickness D1 of the thickness D1 of blade server 2 times of blade servers extremely.Particularly, minor increment between bottom surface 110 and the end face 108 can for the thickness D1 of blade server blade server can be arranged between bottom surface and the end face, and the ultimate range between bottom surface 110 and the end face 108 can be 2 times of the thickness D1 of blade server, thereby the size of the support 106 of extendible blade server 100 is limited in the permissible range in space in the cabinet.

Widening parts 104 is fixed on the end face 108 of support 106 by dislocation, and wherein, widening parts 104 can be Graphics Processing Unit GPU or network interface card, and wherein, GPU (Graphic Process Unit) Graphics Processing Unit is a kind of high-performance calculation module of multinuclear.In addition, this expansion can be 1 or 2 with network interface card, preferably, widening parts shifts to install, and dispels the heat thereby be conducive to widening parts.Graphics Processing Unit GPU has significantly improved computing power, thereby satisfies the demand that the user handles picture signal, has therefore expanded the calculated performance of blade server.In addition, network interface card can significantly improve the network speed of server, thereby satisfies the user to the demand of network speed.

Widening parts 104 is on the end face 108 that is fixed on support 106 in array, and wherein, widening parts 104 can be hard disk, and hard disk is electrically connected with the RISER card by the RAID card.Particularly, the output signal of RISER card sticks into row conversion by RAID and just can be electrically connected with hard disk, thus can with existing blade server compatibility.For example, when hard disk is 2.5 cun hard disks, 8 hard disks can be set at most, that is, be arranged to 2 * 4 arrays, in addition, can 1 to 8 hard disk be set according to user's request.Therefore, memory property can be significantly promoted, thereby the user can be satisfied to the demand of storage capacity.

Fig. 3 is according to the three-dimensional structure diagram that is inserted with the cabinet of extendible blade server of the present utility model.This machine box for server 200 that is inserted with extendible blade server 100 is provided, the recess of the recess of blade server, the recess of end face and bottom surface and the recess of machine box for server are complementary, and the power module of machine box for server indent is electrically connected with power interface.Thereby be the power supply of widening parts and blade server body.In addition, the gross thickness of this extendible blade server is 3 times of blade server thickness, so occupy the space of 3 blade servers in cabinet.Fig. 3 shows the cabinet of 5U14 sheet blade server, wherein, be inserted with 4 extendible blade servers and two prior blade servers, but extendible blade server of the present invention can be used for the server system of other types, for example, the server system that has the cabinet of 5U, 7U etc.

At first, this extendible blade server can take full advantage of the finite space expansion servers in the cabinet calculated performance, memory property and network speed performance and can with compatibilities such as prior blade server and function card.Secondly, widening parts shifts to install mode and the array set-up mode can improve heat dispersion.In addition, the size design of support and opposing sidewalls can take full advantage of the finite space in the cabinet.

Be preferred embodiment of the present utility model only below, be not limited to the utility model, for a person skilled in the art, the utility model can have various changes and variation.All within spirit of the present utility model and principle, any modification of doing, be equal to replacement, improvement etc., all should be included within the protection domain of the present utility model.
