As shown in FIGS. 1 and 2, the server rack 10 includes a metal rack body 100 and a plurality of carrier racks 200. The metal frame 100 includes a top 110, a bottom 120, and a plurality of partition plates 130 arranged at intervals. The top 110 and the bottom 120 are oppositely arranged, and the partition plates 130 are interposed between the top 110 and the bottom 120, so that a holding space 140 is formed between any two adjacent partition plates 130, respectively. The partition plates 130 are, for example, metal plates or metal frames.

Each carrier 200 is removably located in one of the holding spaces 140. In this embodiment, each carrier 200 includes a rotating shaft 210, a bracket body 220, a handle portion 280, a handle base 290, and an electrostatic guide 300. The bracket body 220 is removably located in the holding space 140. The bracket body 220 includes a storage space 260. The storage space 260 is used to carry a hard disk module 600. The handle base 290 is fixed to the side of the bracket body 220 facing away from the storage space 260. The handle portion 280 is pivotally connected to the handle base 290 through the rotating shaft 210. The electrostatic guide 300 is fixed to the handle portion 280. For example, the electrostatic guide 300 is locked to the handle portion 280 via the bolt B. The electrostatic guide 300 is electrically connected to the rotating shaft 210, And a part of the electrostatic guide 300 protrudes out of the handle portion 280 and directly contacts the metal frame body 100 so as to transmit an electrostatic current to the metal frame body 100.

In this way, when an electrostatic discharge (ESD) is generated by the carrier 200, an electrostatic current can be transmitted from the electrostatic guide 300 to the metal frame 100, so that the metal frame 100 is moved out of the server frame 10. In this way, through the above structure, not only can the server rack 10 and the carrier 200 thereof be provided with a more economical method, but also a more effective effect can be obtained in terms of electrostatic protection.

Figure 3 shows a cross-sectional view of the first figure taken along line AA. As shown in FIGS. 2 and 3, more specifically, the electrostatic guide 300 includes a fixing frame 310 and a conductive elastic piece 320. The fixing frame 310 is penetrated by the rotating shaft 210 and is interposed between the handle portion 280 and the handle base 290.

The front frame 250 has a receiving groove 270. More specifically, the front frame 250 has a first rib 251 and a second rib 252 opposite to each other. The first rib 251 and the second rib 252 both extend away from the storage space 260 and accommodate The groove 270 is formed between the first rib 251 and the second rib 252 and connects the storage space 260. The first rib 251 has a plurality of first openings 252 arranged at intervals. The second rib 252 also has a plurality of first openings 252 arranged at intervals.

The handle base 290 has a pivot portion 291 and a groove 292. Both the pivot portion 291 and the groove 292 are located on the side of the handle base opposite to the storage space 260. The handle portion 280 is pivotally connected to the pivot portion 291 of the handle base 290 through the rotating shaft 210 to rotatably cover or expose the above-mentioned groove 292.

In this embodiment, the carrier 200 further includes a stop frame 500. The stop frame 500 includes a frame 510, a mesh structure 520, a plurality of first arc-shaped elastic pieces 530 and a plurality of second arc-shaped elastic pieces 540. The frame body 510 is sandwiched between the handle base 290 and the front frame 250 and is held on the handle base 290. The frame 510 has two first sides 511 opposite to each other and two second sides 512 opposite to each other. The mesh structure 520 is formed on a surface of the frame body 510 facing the front frame 250. The first arc-shaped elastic pieces 530 are arranged on the two first side edges 511 at intervals. The second arc-shaped elastic pieces 540 are arranged on the two second sides 512 at intervals. The first arc-shaped elastic pieces 530 respectively extend from the corresponding first openings 252 out of the front frame 250, and at the same time elastically abut other elements above or below, such as another carrier 200 or the bottom of the metal frame 100 120. The handle 290 bis has a plurality of opposite sides 293 The second openings 254 are spaced apart from each other.
