Description

Anti-vibration structure and server using the same

The present invention relates to a server, and more particularly to a server having a shock-proof structure.

At present, the server is widely used by various enterprises. Its development scope combines the application of the Internet and the telecom industry, and also goes into the life of ordinary people, such as the use of finance, finance, online banking, and online credit cards.

The general servo system is mounted on a Rack, and the 1U servo is one of the mainstream of the current server. Its standard stack has a height of 1.75 inches (about 4.5 cm), which is different from the traditional large one. The server can effectively save the space required by the server and facilitate the management of the server. The 1U server is not only thin and stackable, but also has centralized management features, thus expanding its market share in the server market. In order to effectively provide the data and storage data required by the user, the server must install a large number of hard disks to provide data access services. However, the vibration generated by the internal parts of the server (for example, a fan) is often one of the causes of abnormal reading and writing of hard disk data.
