DETAILED DESCRIPTION OF THE INVENTION

[0001]

The present invention relates to a wiring case and a wiring system using the same, and more particularly to a wiring case for connecting a plurality of circuit packages and a wiring system using the same.

[0002]

2. Description of the Related Art A conventional wiring method between casings will be described with reference to FIG. That is, as shown in the drawing, the package 10 and the motherboard 3 are provided in one housing A, and the package 10 and the motherboard 3 are also provided in the other housing B.

[0003] If the cable from the package or the board of the housing A is connected to the housing B, the cable enters the housing B as it is through the housing and is connected to the package or the motherboard. If the two housings are not connected to each other, they pass under the floor and enter another housing and are connected to a package or a motherboard, as disclosed in Japanese Utility Model Application Laid-Open No. 59-47983.

[0004]

In the above-described conventional wiring method between casings, the cable connection between the casings must be made at the shipping destination. Furthermore, in recent parallel processor systems, there is a connection between a large number of packages, and there is a drawback that it takes a lot of time to connect cables at a shipping destination. In addition, when adding a processor or adding a chassis at the shipping destination, not only additional cable connections, but also the connection configuration changes, so all already connected cables must be removed and reconnected. Did not.

[0005] Therefore, it has been desired to reduce the assembly work time at the shipping destination.

SUMMARY OF THE INVENTION The present invention has been made to solve the above-mentioned drawbacks of the prior art, and an object of the present invention is to provide a wiring housing and a wiring system using the same, which can reduce the time required for assembly work at a shipping destination. To provide.

[0007]

SUMMARY OF THE INVENTION A wiring system according to the present invention.
The system is provided corresponding to the detachable circuit package.
When the corresponding circuit package is mounted, the package
Motherboards having connectors electrically connected to the motherboard
And a motherboard that electrically connects these motherboards.
Connection cables between the motherboards.
Engagement has a different wiring casings from each other, instrumentation should comprise
The plurality of wiring housings may be used alternatively according to the location.
It is characterized by the following.

The cable is connected to the motherboard.
Characterized by being detachable from the
You. Further, each of the plurality of motherboards has the configuration.
Processor package and memory depending on the device to be formed
One of the packages is connected
You. Further, the plurality of motherboards may include the wiring housing.
Are provided on the side surfaces facing each other.

[0009]

In a single housing, a plurality of motherboards are provided corresponding to a detachable circuit package and have a connector electrically connected to the corresponding circuit package in a mounted state. Then, keep electrically connecting the motherboard to each other by a plurality of cables. A plurality of wiring housings are prepared so that the connection relationship between motherboards is different from each other. At the shipping destination, these wiring housings are selectively used depending on the device to be configured.

[0010]

Next, the present invention will be described with reference to the drawings.

FIG. 1 is a schematic configuration diagram of an embodiment of a wiring housing and a wiring system using the same according to the present invention. FIG. 2 shows two processor packages and two memory packages.
One system configuration diagram is shown. For simplicity, it is assumed that one package is mounted on each of the four package mounting housings 2a to 2d. Processor packages 11 and 12 are provided in package mounting housings 2a and 2b,
Memory packages 21 and 22 are mounted on the package mounting housings 2c and 2d. Then, wiring is performed between the processor package and the memory package by the cable 6.

Each package has four ports, one for
The port is the minimum signal unit of the connection between one processor package and one memory package. Therefore, as shown in FIG. 1, in the case of two processor packages and two memory packages, more efficient data transfer can be performed by connecting each processor and memory package by two ports.

The wiring chassis 1a has four motherboards 3 arranged in advance in a single chassis before shipment, and the motherboards 3 are wired with cables 6 as shown in FIG. At the shipping destination, four package mounting housings 2a to 2d are arranged outside each motherboard, and a package is inserted into each of the package mounting housings 2a to 2d.
Is electrically connected to the motherboard 3 via the. Thus, a system as shown is configured. It is to be noted that if necessary, screws are fixed between the housings.

FIG. 2 shows a system configuration diagram of four processor packages and four memory packages.
In this case, each processor and the memory are connected by one port. Therefore, when the number of packages is increased at the shipping destination and the system configuration as shown in FIG. 1 is added to the system configuration as shown in FIG.
b, the system is completed simply by adding four package mounting housings and inserting a package into each.
Therefore, there is no need to change the cable connection at the shipping destination.

In the above embodiment, only one package is mounted on one package mounting case for simplicity, but a plurality of packages may be mounted. In such a case, the number of ports also increases from 16 to 32. In that case, the connection of the cables in the wiring housing becomes very large and complicated.

Even in such a case, the connection can be made in advance before shipment, so that the assembling work at the shipment destination can be performed efficiently. In addition, since connection work can be performed with sufficient time before shipment, there is no connection error and wiring reliability is high.

In short, in the present wiring system, a plurality of wiring housings having mutually different cable connection relationships are prepared, and only one of the plurality of wiring housings is selected.
Since the assembly work is carried to the shipping destination, the work of assembling the system or apparatus to be configured can be performed in a short time, and various system configuration changes can be quickly responded.

In this embodiment, the case of the processor package and the memory package has been described. However, it is apparent that the present invention is not limited to these and can be applied to the case where various circuit packages are connected to the motherboard.

In FIGS. 1 and 2, the motherboard is provided on each of the opposing side surfaces of the wiring housing. However, it is not always necessary to provide the motherboard on the opposing surface, and it is not necessary to provide the motherboard on the side surface. Is clear.

[0020]

As described above, according to the present invention, a system can be constructed simply by preparing a wiring housing in which cable wiring is provided, connecting a package mounting housing around the wiring housing, and inserting a package. In addition, there is no need to connect cables at the shipping destination, so that the assembling operation can be performed in a short time and high wiring reliability can be obtained.
