In a possible implementation manner, the outside of the cabinet may further include cabinet identification information 500 (the cabinet identification information 500 in FIG. 3 is a two-dimensional code as an example), and the cabinet identification information is used to indicate the equipment racked to the cabinet. Information and some information of the cabinet.

For example, by scanning a two-dimensional code, you can obtain the space occupation information, power interface information, and the device identification and device power consumption of each device racked inside the cabinet from the control system connected to the cabinet Volume, device network usage information, device location, etc.

Through the above-mentioned occupying module 100, the device occupying information in the cabinet can be acquired, and the occupying space allocation information in the cabinet can be determined, thereby solving the above problem 1. Through the power connection module 200, the distribution information of the power supply interface is determined, thereby solving the above problem 2. By using the switch of the network port module 300 to switch between the first network switch and the second network switch, the network port module 300 can be quickly connected to the network switch without network failure, thereby solving the above problem 4.

That solves the above problem 3.

The function of the occupancy module 100 in the above-mentioned cabinet will be specifically described below with reference to FIG. 6, that is, the occupancy monitoring method shown in FIG. 6 can be applied to the above-mentioned cabinet, and specifically, can be used for the above-mentioned cabinet occupancy Module 100. It should be noted that this method can also be used in other cabinets. This method can solve the above problem 1. The method includes:

Step 601, when it is detected that the status of the M placeholder switches of the cabinet changes, placeholder information is generated.

Among them, the cabinet includes N slots, one slot is installed with a placeholder switch, the status of a placeholder switch is used to indicate whether a device is installed in the slot corresponding to the placeholder switch, and the placeholder information is used to indicate The equipment racked up to the cabinet occupies the position information of the cabinet, N is a positive integer, and M is a positive integer not greater than N.

Step 602: Send the occupancy information to the control system connected to the cabinet.

In the above solution, when the device is racked into the cabinet, the state of the occupancy switch will be changed according to the position of the cabinet space occupied by the device, and the occupancy information will be generated, and then the occupancy information will be sent to the control system. Determine the allocation of the space occupied by the cabinet, so that the space occupied by the cabinet can be managed more effectively.

For the above step 601, in a possible implementation manner, the state of the above-mentioned placeholder switch is changed by the device through physical contact. Generally speaking, the volume of the equipment rack-mounted to the cabinet matches that of the rack. When rack-mounted to the rack or removed from the rack, the placeholder switch is touched to change the state of the placeholder switch. Of course, the cabinet sometimes needs to put some relatively small equipment, such equipment can not change the status of the occupancy switch through physical contact. At this time, the debugger needs to manually change the status of the occupancy switch.

In a possible implementation manner, the above-mentioned occupation information is generated according to the position and number of M occupation switches that change state. The occupancy information generated according to the number of occupancy switches is used to indicate the number of slots in the cabinet occupied by the device, that is, the space occupied by the cabinet, or the size of the device. The occupation information generated according to the position of the occupation switch is used to indicate the space position occupied by the device in the cabinet, that is, where the device is in the cabinet.

In a possible implementation manner, the above method may further include: scanning the identification information of the device racked to the cabinet through a camera on the cabinet to obtain the device identification. The above step 602 may specifically include: sending the device identification and occupation information to the control system connected to the cabinet. In this implementation manner, the identification information of the device may be affixed to the outer surface of the device in the form of a two-dimensional code, and of course, it may also be affixed to the guide rail used to rack the device. The position of the two-dimensional code is determined according to the position of the camera.

Before the above equipment is put on the cabinet, the information needs to be entered in the control system, and the control information generates the equipment identification information according to the entered information. For example, based on the information entered by the device, a two-dimensional code is generated. The two-dimensional code can indicate the information of the device. The two-dimensional code is pasted at a position that can be scanned by the camera. After the camera scans the two-dimensional code, the device is acquired. The device's logo indicates the device. Then send the device identification and occupation information to the control system connected to the cabinet. This solution obtains the device ID and the corresponding occupation information of the device, and then sends it to the control system together. Therefore, the control information can obtain the occupation information corresponding to each device, so that the control system can quickly find the need to find The location of the equipment can also be systematically managed for the location of each equipment.

The above-mentioned occupation monitoring method, when the equipment is racked into the cabinet, according to the cabinet space occupied by the equipment, the status of the occupation switch will be changed accordingly, and the occupation information will be generated, and then the occupation information will be sent to the control system. The occupation information determines the allocation of the occupation space in the cabinet, so that the systematic management of the occupation space in the cabinet can be performed more effectively.

The function of the network port module 300 in the above-mentioned cabinet will be specifically described below with reference to FIG. 7, that is, the network switching method shown in FIG. 7 may be applied to the above-mentioned cabinet, and specifically, may be used for the network port module of the above-mentioned cabinet 300. It should be noted that this method can also be used in other cabinets. This method can solve the above problem 4. The method includes:

Step 701: Receive a network switching command sent by the control system.

Step 702: Control the switch in the cabinet to switch the connected network switch according to the network switching command.

Among them, the network switch is a device that provides a network for the cabinet. When a network failure occurs in the network switch, the cabinet connected to the network switch may also experience a network failure.

The above scheme switches the connected network switches through network switching commands. When a network switch fails, it can be quickly switched to another network switch to quickly solve the problem of network connection failure of the equipment in the cabinet.

In a possible implementation manner, the foregoing network switch includes a first network switch and a second network switch, where the first network switch is a network switch used before switching. The above step 702 may specifically include: according to the network switching command, controlling the switching switch to switch from connecting to the first network switch to connecting to the second network switch.
