Server and its rack

The invention discloses a server, in particular a server with a frame.

The computer and server are composed of components such as a central processing unit (CPU), a memory, and an input/output (I/O) device, and are connected by a bus.

Generally, in order to increase the number of interface cards (PCI Cards) installed in the computer and the server, the interface card is first inserted into the expansion board (Riser Card or Riser Board), and then the expansion board is inserted into the motherboard. This is to increase the number of interface cards that can be installed. After the expansion board is inserted into the motherboard, the interface card is then fixed to the computer or servo air casing through the fixing frame. However, conventional holders cannot simultaneously support interface cards of different sizes. Therefore, when it is necessary to install interface cards of different sizes, it is also necessary to replace the fixing frame at the same time, which is inconvenient for the user.

In view of the above problems, the present invention discloses a server and a frame thereof, which facilitates convenient replacement of interface cards of different lengths.

The invention discloses a server comprising a casing, a motherboard, an expansion board, a rack and an interface card. The motherboard is placed in the chassis and has a transfer slot. Expand The charging plate is inserted into the transfer slot and stands on the motherboard, and the expansion board has an expansion slot. The rack is located in the cabinet and includes a riser, a top plate and a fixed module. The top plate is coupled to the riser and has a first adjustment slot. The fixing module is slidably disposed in the first adjustment slot. The fixed module can reciprocate along the first adjustment slot to change the distance between the fixed module and the vertical plate, and the expansion plate is between the fixed module and the vertical plate. The interface card is inserted into the expansion slot, and the opposite ends thereof are respectively fixed to the fixed module and the vertical plate.

The invention further discloses a rack, which is arranged on the casing of the server, and comprises a vertical plate, a top plate and a fixed module. The top plate is coupled to the riser and has a first adjustment slot. The fixing module is slidably disposed in the first adjustment slot. The fixing module can reciprocate along the first adjusting slot to change the distance between the fixed module and the vertical plate to match the size of the interface card fixed between the vertical plate and the fixed module.

A plurality of sliding members 432 are disposed on adjacent side edges of the main body 431. The sliding members 432 are slidably disposed on the plurality of first adjusting grooves 411 and the plurality of second adjusting grooves 422, so that the main body 431 of the fixing module 430 can reciprocally slide relative to the top plate 410 and the side plates 420 to change the main body 431. The distance from the riser 400. The expansion board 30 is interposed between the vertical board 400 and the main body 431. The rail member 433 is disposed on a side of the main body 431 facing the vertical plate 400, and includes a slide rail segment 433a and an engaging portion 433b. The rail section 433a has a sliding inlet 4331, and the sliding inlet 4331 is located at one end of the rail section 433a away from the side panel 420. The engagement section 433b is flexibly coupled to the rail section 433a and adjacent to the sliding inlet 4331. In other words, the engagement segment 433b is flexibly coupled to the rail segment 433a having one end of the sliding inlet 4331. In this embodiment, the number of the rail members 433 is plural, and the number of the first adjusting slot 411 and the second adjusting slot 422 are both two, but the present invention Not limited to this. In other embodiments, the rail member 433, the first adjusting slot 411, and the second adjusting slot 422 may each be one.

The locking member 50 passes through the first locking hole 412 of the top plate 410 and the second locking hole 431a of the main body 431 to fix the distance between the vertical plate 400 and the fixing module 430.

The interface card 60 is inserted into the expansion slot 300 of the expansion board 30, and the opposite ends of the interface card 60 are respectively fixed to the fixed module 430 and the vertical board 400. In detail, the interface card 60 includes a connected circuit component board 600 and an interface slot board 610. The circuit component board 600 is inserted into the expansion slot 300. The interface slot plate 610 is fixed to the riser 400 and is exposed from the opening 401. The circuit component board 600 is slidably disposed on the rail section 433a from the sliding inlet 4331 of the rail section 433a at one end of the interface slot board 610. When the interface card 60 is disposed on the rail segment 433a, the engaging segment 433b abuts the circuit component board 600 of the interface card 60 to prevent the interface card 60 from coming out of the rail segment 433a. In the present embodiment, the number of the expansion slot 300, the opening 401, the rail member 433, and the interface card 60 is plural, but the invention is not limited thereto. In other embodiments, the number of expansion slots 300, openings 401, rail members 433, and interface cards 60 may each be one.

In addition, the top plate 410 and the main body 431 of the fixed module 430 may respectively have a plurality of heat dissipation holes 413 and 431b for dissipating heat to the interface card 60.

The following explains how to replace the interface card. Please refer to both Figure 3 and Figure 4. FIG. 3 is a perspective view of the interface card in the server removed from the frame according to an embodiment of the invention. Figure 4 is a diagram of an embodiment of the invention A stereoscopic view of the interface card in the server being replaced.

In the embodiment, the interface card 60 is sandwiched between the vertical plate 400 and the main body 431 of the fixed module 430. In other words, the distance between the riser 400 and the body 431 corresponds to the length dimension of the matching interface card 60 (as shown in Figure 1).

When the interface card 60 needs to be disassembled, the engaging portion 433b of the rail member 433 is toggled, so that one end of the circuit component board 600 away from the interface slot board 610 can be detached from the sliding rail segment 433a from the sliding inlet 4331. At the same time, the interface slot board 610 of the interface card 60 is detached from the upright board 400.

When the interface card 60 is detached in the above manner and another interface card 60' having a length larger than the interface card 60 is required to be attached, the lock member 50 is released first, and the slidable member 432 can be along the first adjustment slot 411 and the first The second adjustment slot 422 slides. Then, the driving sliding member 432 is slid along the first adjusting groove 411 and the second adjusting groove 422, and the distance between the vertical plate 400 and the main body 431 of the fixing module 430 is adjusted to correspond to the length dimension of the matching interface card 60'. . When the distance between the upright plate 400 and the main body 431 is properly adjusted, the lock member 50 is locked, and the slide member 432 is fixed to the top plate 410. Next, a circuit component board 600' of the interface card 60' is inserted into the expansion slot 300' and an interface slot board 610' of the interface card 60' is fixed to the riser 400. At the same time, the engaging portion 433b is toggled to slide the interface card 60' away from the sliding slot section 433a from the sliding inlet 4331 from one end of the interface slot plate 610'. Then, the engaging portion 433b is released to bring the engaging portion 433b against the interface card 60', and the interface card 60' is interposed between the vertical plate 400 and the main body 431 of the fixed module 430.

In summary, in the server disclosed in the present invention, the fixed module can be along The first adjusting groove and the second adjusting groove reciprocally slide to change the distance between the body of the fixed module and the vertical plate to correspond to the length dimension of the interface card between the vertical plate and the body. Thereby, the frame can be easily replaced with interface cards of different lengths by adjusting the distance between the body and the vertical plate.
