A server and a pre-maintenance expansion composite network card device thereof

Abstract

The invention discloses a pre-maintenance expansion composite network card device of a server. The server comprises a server main board, a PCIE Riser card inserted into the server main board, a plurality of OCP adapter cards inserted into the PCIE Riser card, and a plurality of OCP network cards inserted into the OCP adapter cards. Therefore, the expansion application of the PCIE card is carried out on the server main board through the PCIE Riser card; and through the secondary expansion application of the OCP adapter card on the PCIE Riser card, a plurality of OCP network cards can be inserted into the server mainboard at the same time, and meanwhile, the maintenance function of the OCP network cards before hot plug is ensured. Therefore, according to the pre-maintenance expansion composite network card device for the server, the pre-maintenance function and the expansion application function of the network card of the server can be considered, the maintenance cost of the network cardof the server is reduced, and the increasing network communication requirement of the server is met. The invention also discloses a server which has the above beneficial effects.

Description

technical field [0001] The invention relates to the technical field of servers, in particular to a server front-maintenance expansion composite network card device. The invention also relates to a server. Background technique [0002] With the development of electronic technology in China, more and more electronic devices have been widely used. [0003] A server is an important part of electronic equipment and a device that provides computing services. Since the server needs to respond to and process service requests, generally speaking, the server should have the ability to undertake and guarantee services. According to the different types of services provided by the server, it is divided into file server, database server, application server, WEB server, etc. The main components of the server include processors, hard disks, memory, system buses, etc., which are similar to general-purpose computer architectures, but due to the need to provide highly reliable services, pro...

AI Technical Summary

Problems solved by technology

Ordinary PCIE network cards do not support front-end maintenance, and the network card must be unpacked to be inserted and removed. The efficiency of board card replacement and maintenance is low.

But at the same time, due to the limitation of the installation space, the OCP network card can only be placed close to the main board of the server. One system only supports 1 or 2 front-maintenance OCP network cards, which cannot meet the needs of network communication.
