Patent Application
20220124933
The subject matter herein generally relates to servers, and more particularly to a server chassis for a server.
Server chassis sizes are generally measured in multiples of U, which refers to a height of the server chassis and is determined by the Electronic Industries Association (EIA). 1U=44.45 mm, and 2U=88.9 mm. The current 2U model server chassis has the problem of not being able to store hard drives in multiple layers, and performance of maintenance on the hard drives is inconvenient.
Implementations of the present disclosure will now be described, by way of embodiments, with reference to the attached figures.
It will be appreciated that for simplicity and clarity of illustration, where appropriate, reference numerals have been repeated among the different figures to indicate corresponding or analogous elements. Additionally, numerous specific details are set forth in order to provide a thorough understanding of the embodiments described herein. However, it will be understood by those of ordinary skill in the art that the embodiments described herein can be practiced without these specific details. In other instances, methods, procedures and components have not been described in detail so as not to obscure the related relevant feature being described. The drawings are not necessarily to scale and the proportions of certain parts may be exaggerated to better illustrate details and features. The description is not to be considered as limiting the scope of the embodiments described herein.
Several definitions that apply throughout this disclosure will now be presented.
The term “coupled” is defined as connected, whether directly or indirectly through intervening components, and is not necessarily limited to physical connections. The connection can be such that the objects are permanently connected or releasably connected. The term “substantially” is defined to be essentially conforming to the particular dimension, shape, or another word that “substantially” modifies, such that the component need not be exact. For example, “substantially cylindrical” means that the object resembles a cylinder, but can have one or more deviations from a true cylinder. The term “comprising” means “including, but not necessarily limited to”; it specifically indicates open-ended inclusion or membership in a so-described combination, group, series, and the like.
Referring to
In one embodiment, the height H of each tray 20 is 27.3 mm.
In one embodiment, each tray 20 is used to carry 3.5-inch hard disks 200. In one embodiment, each tray 20 carries eight 3.5-inch hard disks 200, and the eight hard disks 200 are arranged in two rows and four columns.
In one embodiment, a length L of each tray 20 extending into the opening 10b is 410 mm, which can leave enough space for other components in the housing 10, such as a main board.
Referring to
Referring to
Specifically, a total length of the first connecting rod 41 and the second connecting rod 42 is greater than the distance L that the tray 20 moves through the opening 10b, so as to prevent the first connecting rod 41 and the second connecting rod 42 from being straight when the tray 20 is pulled out. Thus, the tray 20 is prevented from being stuck in position and unable to be retracted as a result of the first connecting rod 41 and the second connecting rod 42 being straight.
In one embodiment, there are three sliding grooves (not shown) on inner side walls of the housing 10, and inserting strips (not shown) are arranged on sides of each tray 20, and the inserting strips are slidably inserted into the corresponding sliding grooves, so that the tray 20 can slide in the housing 10.
It is understandable that, in other embodiments, each tray 20 can carry other numbers of hard disks, and the trays 20 can carry other electronic components.
An embodiment of the present application also provides a server (not shown) including the server chassis 100 described above.
The above-mentioned server chassis 100 and the server are placed in a 2U-height housing 10 through a plurality of stacked trays 20, and each tray 20 can slide out or retract through the opening 10b, so that the server chassis 100 is capable of storing the hard disks 200 in a plurality of extendable and retractable layers in a 2U model. Furthermore, the number of hard disks 200 that can be stored is increased, and maintenance of the hard disks 200 is facilitated.
The embodiments shown and described above are only examples. Even though numerous characteristics and advantages of the present technology have been set forth in the foregoing description, together with details of the structure and function of the present disclosure, the disclosure is illustrative only, and changes may be made in the detail, including in matters of shape, size and arrangement of the parts within the principles of the present disclosure up to, and including, the full extent established by the broad general meaning of the terms used in the claims.
