Problems solved by technology

In addition, as the computing modules become more complex, the configuration of connectors tends to be denser and finer
Therefore, as in the aforementioned data center, there is a risk of damage to the motherboard and its connectors during the transportation, storage and installation of computing modules.

Embodiment Construction

[0044]Certain embodiments and features of the invention relate to brackets or slide plates for supporting motherboards or other circuit boards with connectors. Wherein, the bracket or the sliding plate includes a protective cover, and the protective cover is designed to automatically move between a closed position (covering the connectors) and an open position (exposing the connectors). The protective cover is rotatably coupled to the base plate between the main board and the bottom plate of the bracket. The base plate may be slidably connected to the base plate and face the distal end of the bracket such that the protective cover naturally faces the closed position. When the bracket is inserted into the case, some mechanical structures (such as pins or protrusions) can be provided on the base plate, so as to prevent the base plate from moving too deep into the case, while the rest of the bracket can continue to go deep into the case. inside the shell. Relative movement of t...

Abstract

The present invention discloses an assembly and a method of operation thereof, which relate to a protective device, wherein when the protective cover is in a closed position, the protective cover covers a connector on the distal end of a motherboard. In addition, when the protective cover is in the closed position and the motherboard is further inserted into the casing, the protective cover will automatically move to the open position, thereby exposing the connector. When the main board is removed from the casing, the protective cover is automatically closed by a guiding element (such as a spring), and the guiding element makes the protective cover face to a normal closed position.

Description

technical field [0001] The present invention relates to data center computing equipment, and more specifically refers to a protection device for computing modules. Background technique [0002] In some computing environments it is useful to provide certain computing elements in a modular fashion. For example, arithmetic elements can be inserted and removed quite easily. For example, in a data center, the enclosure includes openings to accommodate multiple computing modules. The computing module is put into a proper position through the opening, so that the connector on the motherboard of the computing module is engaged with the complementary connector in the case. For example, the interface board (interface board) in the case. The interface board may be a midplane board. Therefore, multiple computing modules inside the housing can be inserted, removed and / or replaced as required. [0003] However, as data centers grow in importance and size, so does the need to quickly ...
