Abstract

An improved sever structure includes a server rack, and a back plate mounted to a rear of the server rack, a input/output module, a plurality of server modules, and at least one power supply. The server rack is provided at a front thereof with an opening through which the input/output module, the server modules and the power supply are detachably mounted inside the server rack and electrically connected with the back plate. The server modules are parallel and uprightly arranged by two lateral sides of the input/output module. As a result, all of the electric components can be plugged or unplugged from the front opening of the server rack, facilitating maintenance and repairing. The signal transmission paths between the input/output module and each of the sever modules are approximately the same, preventing the signal decaying problem due to long transmission path.

Description

Improved structure of the server host

This author is about a server host, especially a server host whose all electronic devices are plugged into the back panel of the server host.

A conventional server, such as the one disclosed in Taiwan Patent No. 200718327, has a chassis and a backplane component module is disposed in the center of the chassis, and a front component module is respectively disposed on the front and rear sides of the backplane component module. Group and a rear component module. The front component module includes the motherboard and the control panel, while the rear component module includes components such as a power supply, a fan, and a network switch.

Since the conventional server has electronic components in front and rear of the chassis, when the power supply in the rear component module of the server or the network switch or the like fails, the maintenance personnel must wrap around the rear of the chassis to extract the components. In the case of maintenance, in the case of hundreds of server modules in today's large servers, such design will cause inconvenience in maintenance. Furthermore, it can be seen from the first figure of the above patent that the path of signal transmission between the server modules and the network switch is not equal, and for a server module that is far away from the network switch, If the signal transmission path is too long, the transmission signal attenuation may occur.

In view of this, the main purpose of this creation is to provide a server host, which All electronic devices can be plugged and unplugged from the front of the chassis of the server mainframe for easy maintenance.

Another object of the present invention is to provide a server host, wherein the path of signal transmission between the server module and the network switch can be substantially equal, thereby avoiding the problem of signal attenuation caused by the signal transmission path being too long.

In order to achieve the above object, the present invention provides an improved structure of a server host, comprising a chassis, a backplane, a common channel module, a plurality of server modules, and at least one power supply, the front side of the chassis having an opening The backplane is disposed on the rear side of the chassis, and the common channel module, the server modules, and the power supply are pluggably assembled from the front to the rear and electrically connected to the backboard. The modules are arranged side by side on the two sides of the common channel module along the height of the chassis.

Therefore, all the electronic device groups can be inserted and removed from the front of the chassis, which can be easily repaired, and the signal transmission paths of the server module and the common channel module are substantially equal, so as to avoid signal attenuation due to the long signal transmission path. The problem.

Figure 3 is a front elevational view of the improved structure of the server host of the preferred embodiment of the present invention.

In order to better understand the characteristics of this creation, this creation provides a better implementation. The examples are described below with reference to the drawings, please refer to Figures 1 to 3. The main components of the improved structure of the authoring server host include a chassis 10, a backplane 20, a common channel module 30, a plurality of server modules 40 (in the present embodiment, six), and two power supplies. The structure of each component and the mutual relationship between them are as follows: First, referring to FIG. 1, the size of the chassis 10 is 1U (the standard size is 1.75 inches in height and 19 inches in width), and the front side has an opening 11 And the chassis 10 has a detachable upper cover 12 (as shown in Fig. 2).

The backplane 20 is disposed on the rear side of the chassis 10. The front side of the backboard 20 is provided with various slots 21, and the rear panel 20 is connected to four rear cooling fans (not shown).

Referring to FIGS. 2 to 3, the common channel module 30 is used to unify the input and output of the signal, which is pluggable and assembled from the front to the rear in the chassis 10 and electrically connected to the backboard 20.

The server module 40 is an arithmetic unit of the server host 1 , which is pluggable and assembled from the front to the rear in the chassis 10 and electrically connected to the backboard 20 . The server modules 40 are in common channel mode. The group 30 is centered and stacked on the two sides of the common channel module 30 along the height direction H of the chassis 10 to electrically connect and share the common channel module 30 through the backplane 20, and through the common channel module 30 and The external device acts as the input and output of the signal.

The two power supplies 50 are disposed on a side of the chassis 10 that is relatively far from the common channel module 30. The two power supplies 50 are also pluggable and assembled from the front to the rear in the chassis 10 and electrically connected to the backboard 20 for transmitting through the back. The board 20 provides power to all of the electronic devices of the server host 1.

In use, since all the electronic devices (the server module 40, the common channel module 30, the power supply 50, etc.) are inserted into the slot 21 of the backplane 20 in the chassis 10 from the front to the rear, any one electronic component In the event of a failure, the maintenance personnel can simply plug in and out of the front of the chassis 10. It is convenient to replace the faulty electronic device, so it is convenient to repair the server host 1. In addition, the server modules 40 share the common channel module 30 and are arranged on two sides of the common channel module 30, which not only saves the cost of setting other common channel modules 30, but also each server module 40. The signal transmission path between the common channel module 30 and the common channel module 30 is substantially the same, so that the strengths of the transmission signals can be substantially equal. Compared with the conventional server host, the creation is less likely to be due to the partial server module 40 and the common channel module. Group 30 is too far away, causing problems with signal attenuation. In addition, the two power supplies 50 are disposed away from the common channel module 30 to also contribute to heat dissipation.

Finally, it must be re-arranged that the constituent elements disclosed in the foregoing embodiments are merely illustrative and are not intended to limit the scope of the present invention, and other structural changes that are easily conceivable, or alternatives to other equivalent elements. Changes should also be covered by the scope of the patent application for this case.
