Embodiment Construction

[0015] See attached figure 1 And attached figure 2 The shared storage module of the blade server of the present invention includes: a casing 4 , a hard disk module, and a storage module main board 6 , and the hard disk module and the storage module main board 6 are fixed on the casing 4 . Wherein, the hard disk module includes a hard disk insertion compartment 2, a hard disk backplane 5, and a plurality of hard disks inserted into the hard disk insertion compartment 2.

[0016] See attached figure 1 , the hard disk backplane 5 is connected to the storage module main board 6 through the cable 3 , the storage module main board 6 has a signal connector 64 and a switching chip, and the signal connector 64 is used for connecting and communicating with the middle board 8 . The cable 3 is preferably a Mini SAS cable. The management module in the blade server enables each blade (such as a computing blade) on the middle board 8 to perform shared access to multiple hard disks in the...

Abstract

The invention provides a shared memory module of a blade server. The shared memory module comprises a hard disk module, a memory module body plate and an enclosure, wherein the hard disk module is provided with hard disk insertion bins with a hard disk backplane; the hard disk insertion bins contain a plurality of hard disks hot plugged with the hard disk backplane; the memory module body plate is provided with a signal connector communicating with a middle plate in a case of the blade server; the enclosure can be inserted into the case of the blade server; the hard disk module and the memory module body plate are fixed on the enclosure; the hard disk backplane is connected with the memory module body plate by a cable; and any blade installed on the middle plate carries out shared access to the hard disks via switch chips arranged on the memory module body plate. On the other hand, the invention also provides the blade server with the shared memory module. The blades in the blade server can selectively share the hard disks in the hard disk module in flexible ways.

Description

technical field [0001] The invention relates to a shared storage module of a blade server and a blade server with the shared storage module. Background technique [0002] Various blade server products currently on the market, due to their compact structure and limited space, the storage capacity of the blade server system is relatively low. Generally, each blade of the blade server is connected with a hard disk, and firstly connect the The hard disk is used as its storage space. Due to the large size of the hard disk, it will affect the heat dissipation of the blade, and the area of ​​the blade is limited by the blade server chassis. Usually, only two hard disks can be installed on a blade. When the blade server needs large-capacity storage , resulting in insufficient storage space. [0003] For example, the Chinese patent with the publication number 201477503U discloses an "improved multi-hard disk case", which includes a case, a fan holder is welded in the middle of the i...
