Description

Server rack system 【0001】

This creation relates to a server, especially a server rack system that can be centrally powered.

【0002】

The server is a core computer that serves each computer in the network system, and provides functions such as a disk and a print service required by the network user, and also allows each client to share resources in the network environment with each other. The basic structure of the server is roughly the same as that of a general personal computer. It consists of components such as a central processing unit (CPU), a memory, and an input/output (I/O) device, and is connected by a bus. Connect them internally, connecting the central processing unit and memory through the Northbridge Chip, and connecting the input/output devices through the Southbridge Chip.

[0003]

The server units (such as switches, routers, hardware firewalls, hard disks, etc.) in the conventional rack are respectively connected by cables to each server unit and power supply module to provide power required by each server unit. As the number of server units increases, so does the number of cables, which causes cable clutter to hinder user operation. Therefore, there is a rack-type server on the market, and the power supply module is disposed at an intermediate position on the rear side of the rack, and the power supply module and the power supply module are respectively electrically connected by the upper and lower sides to solve the above power supply. The modules need to be coupled to each other to inconvenience each server unit. Nonetheless, the power supply module includes a plurality of electrical connectors, a plurality of locks, and a busbar. The bus bar must be used to fix the plurality of electrical connectors to the bracket of the rack through the lock. Each bus bar needs to be locked with each conductive terminal of the power supply module through the conductive lock to ensure the power transmission to each server unit.

[0004]

However, the conventional bus bar needs to be connected to the bracket by the fasteners, and the bus bar needs to be connected to the power supply module through the conductive lock, which is time consuming and inconvenient in assembly. .
