DETAILED DESCRIPTION

[0044] The following will be combined with the drawings in the embodiments of the present invention to clearly and completely describe the technical solutions in the embodiments of the present invention. Obviously, the described embodiments are only part of the embodiments of the present invention, not all of the embodiments. Based on the embodiments of the present invention, all other embodiments obtained by ordinary technicians in this field without creative work are within the scope of protection of the present invention.

[0045] The core of the present invention is to provide a server structure. When repairing cables or motherboard components, the cable management buckle can be slid off the installation area to facilitate maintenance and inspection by operation and maintenance personnel. When fixing the cables, the cables are fixed in the cable management space to avoid direct contact between the cables and the radiator, reduce the impact of high temperature on the cable signal, and ensure the stability and reliability of server signal transmission.

[0046] The server structure provided by the present invention includes a mainboard 2, a heat sink 4, and a cable management buckle 5. The mainboard 2, the heat sink 4, and the cable management buckle 5 are all arranged in the server base 1. Please refer to Figure 1 .

[0047] Please refer to Figure 5 Specifically, the heat sink 4 is arranged on the mainboard 2, a locking nut 42 is provided on the heat sink 4, and a fixing pin of the CPU is provided on the mainboard 2. The locking nut 42 and the fixing pin are connected and locked to achieve the fixation of the heat sink 4 and the mainboard 2.

[0048] Please refer to Figure 1 , Figure 5 The heat sink 4 is provided with an installation area 44, and the cable management buckle 5 is slidably provided in the installation area 44. The space on the heat sink 4 is used to form an installation area for the cable management buckle 5, so as to increase the number of the cable management buckles 5 and facilitate the unified routing of cables. When applied to the routing of a large number of cables, the number of the cable management buckles 5 can be increased. When maintenance is required, the cable management buckle 5 can be disassembled from the installation area 44 of the heat sink 4 to realize the inspection and maintenance of the cables or motherboard components.

[0049] Specifically, the cable management buckle 5 can be slidably arranged in the installation area 44, and a cable management space 53 for routing the cables of the mainboard 2 components is provided in the cable management buckle 5. The cables are fixed in the cable management space 53, and the cable management buckle 5 is specifically arranged in an openable form to facilitate the fixing and removal of the cables. In addition, by setting the cable management space 53, the signal line or the power line is prevented from directly contacting the radiator 4, the influence of high temperature on the cable signal is reduced, and the stability and reliability of the server signal transmission are ensured.

[0050] Specifically, the cable management buckle 5 can be slidably arranged in the installation area 44, which means that the cable management buckle 5 can slide. The specific sliding method can be through a slide groove slider structure or through the cooperation of the slider gourd hole. Through the cooperation of the slide groove slider, specifically, the slide groove is not set with a limit, and the slider can slide on the slide groove or draw out of the slide groove, so that the cable management buckle 5 and the installation area 44 are connected or disconnected; through the cooperation of the slider and the gourd hole, specifically, the slider can slide between the large hole and the small hole of the gourd hole, so that the cable management buckle 5 and the installation area 44 are connected or disconnected.

[0051] One or two cable management buckles 5 can be provided on the installation area 44, and the sliding between the cable management buckle 5 and the installation area 44 can be double-sided sliding or single-sided sliding. It should be noted that the double-sided sliding here means that the two sides of the cable management buckle 5 are correspondingly connected to the two side walls of the installation area 44, and the single-sided sliding means that one side of the cable management buckle 5 is correspondingly connected to the one side wall of the installation area 44.

[0052] In this embodiment, on the basis of adding the cable management clips 5 on the radiator 4, the inner wall and the bottom of the server base 1 can also be provided with the cable management clips 5, and the number of the cable management clips 5 is increased to be applied to the situation where there are a large number of cables. It should be noted that the cables used by the cable management clips 5 provided on the inner wall and the bottom of the server base 1 are cables that will not contact the motherboard 2 or other components, so as to avoid the contact between the cables and the components affecting the transmission of the cable signals; and the cables passing through the motherboard 2 are routed through the cable management clips 5 on the radiator 4, so that the cable routing is unified and the contact between the cables and the motherboard 2 components is avoided.

[0053] The server structure includes a motherboard 2, a radiator 4, and a cable management buckle 5, wherein the radiator 4 is arranged on the motherboard 2, and a mounting area 44 on the radiator 4 provides space for the installation of the cable management buckle 5, the cable management buckle 5 can slide relative to the mounting area 44 and has a cable management space 53 for routing the motherboard cables, and the cable management buckle 5 and the mounting area 44 are connected by sliding between the cable management buckle 5 and the radiator 4 to fix the motherboard cables, and the connection between the cable management buckle 5 and the mounting area 44 is released by sliding between the cable management buckle 5 and the radiator 4. When it is necessary to maintain the cables or the motherboard components, the cable management buckle 5 can be slid off the mounting area, and the cable management buckle 5 can be installed on the mounting area 44 after maintenance. The operation is simple and convenient, which is convenient for the operation and maintenance of the server.

[0054] The above server structure can take into account the needs of heat dissipation and wiring. A cable management buckle 5 is added to the radiator 4 to unify the cable routing without affecting the overall heat dissipation. When the cable needs to be maintained, the cable management buckle 5 can be slid off the radiator 4. The operation is simple and convenient, and it is convenient for the inspection and maintenance of cables and motherboard components.

[0055] Based on any of the above embodiments, please refer to Figure 1 , Figure 5The installation area 44 is formed by two support plates 43 arranged opposite to each other on the top of the radiator 4 and the radiator 4. The installation area 44 is specifically an area with a top opening and two side openings, which is convenient for the installation and removal of the cable management buckle 5.

[0056] The size of the two support plates 43 is not limited, and it only needs to provide an installation area for the cable management buckle 5. The two support plates 43 can be integrally formed arms of the radiator 4, or can be detachably connected parts of the radiator 4.

[0057] When the support plate 43 is a detachably connected component on the heat sink 4 , the support plate 43 can be adaptively replaced according to the size type of the cable management buckle 5 to improve applicability.

[0058] A sliding member is provided on the inner wall of at least one support plate 43, and a sliding groove 51 is provided on the side of the cable management buckle 5. The cable management buckle 5 and the support plate 43 are connected and separated by sliding the sliding member in the sliding groove 51, that is, the cable management buckle 5 and the installation area 44 are connected or disconnected.

[0059] In a specific embodiment, a sliding member is provided on the inner wall of a support plate 43, and a sliding groove 51 is provided on the side of the cable management buckle 5 corresponding to the sliding member, and the cable management buckle 5 and the support plate 43 are connected and separated by sliding of the sliding groove 51 relative to the sliding member.

[0060] In another specific embodiment, sliding members are provided on the inner walls of the two support plates 43, and sliding grooves 51 are provided on the two opposite sides of the cable management buckle 5. The cable management buckle 5 and the support plate 43 are connected and separated by moving the sliding grooves 51 on both sides thereof to slide relative to the sliding members.

[0061] A sliding member is provided on the side of the cable management buckle 5, and a sliding groove 51 is provided on the inner wall of at least one support plate 43. The cable management buckle 5 and the support plate 43 are connected and separated by sliding the sliding member in the sliding groove 51, that is, the cable management buckle 5 and the installation area 44 are connected or disconnected. In this specific embodiment, the sliding groove 51 is a through groove provided on the support plate 43, and both ends of the groove are not closed, so that the sliding member of the cable management buckle 5 can slide in and out from either end.

[0062] In a specific embodiment, a slide groove 51 is provided on the inner wall of a support plate 43, and a sliding member is provided on the side of the cable management buckle 5 corresponding to the slide groove 51, and the cable management buckle 5 and the support plate 43 are connected and separated by sliding along the slide groove 51.

[0063] In another specific embodiment, the inner walls of the two support plates 43 are provided with sliding grooves 51, and the two opposite sides of the corresponding cable management buckles 5 are provided with sliding members, and the cable management buckles 5 and the support plates 43 are connected and separated by sliding the sliding members on both sides in the two sliding grooves.

[0064] It should be noted that, in this embodiment, the cooperation between the slide groove 51 and the sliding member is not a rolling cooperation, but a sliding cooperation. For example, through the cooperation between the slider and the slide groove, the slider will move relative to the slide groove only under the action of external force. In the absence of external force, the slider and the slide groove are relatively fixed.

[0065] On the basis of any of the above embodiments, the slide groove 51 is provided on the cable management buckle 5 , and the sliding member is an I-shaped nail 41 riveted to the support plate 43 . The I-shaped nail 41 is arranged toward the inside of the installation area 44 and is slidably connected to the slide groove 51 .

[0066] Please refer to Figure 5 , Figure 6 The slide groove 51 is provided on the cable management buckle 5, and the sliding member is specifically an I-shaped nail riveted to the support plate 43. The I-shaped nail is arranged toward the inner side of the installation area 44. Through the cooperation between the I-shaped nail 41 and the slide groove 51, the slide groove 51 can slide relative to the I-shaped nail 41 to release the connection between the installation area 44 and the cable management buckle 5, so as to facilitate the operation and maintenance operations and avoid the interference of the cables in the cable management buckle 5 on the operation and maintenance operations.

[0067] After maintenance, the cable management buckle 5 can be installed on the installation area 44 by sliding the slide groove 51 relative to the I-shaped nail 41, so that the cables can be routed uniformly again.

[0068] In a specific embodiment, the slide groove 51 matched with the I-shaped nail 41 is a long groove, and the long groove slides along the I-shaped nail 41 to achieve connection and disconnection between the I-shaped nail 41 and the long groove. The specific situation of disconnection is that the long groove slides off the I-shaped nail 41.

[0069] In another specific embodiment, the slide groove 51 matched with the I-beam nail 41 is a gourd hole, which slides along the I-beam nail 41 through the gourd hole. The gourd hole has hole positions of different sizes. When the I-beam nail 41 slides in two hole positions of different sizes to realize the overall connection and disconnection of the I-beam nail 41 and the cable management buckle 5, the disconnection is specifically that the larger hole position on the gourd hole slides to the position of the I-beam nail 41, and a gap is generated between the I-beam nail 41 and the larger hole position, so as to facilitate the action of removing the cable management buckle 5 from the radiator 4.

[0070] Based on any of the above embodiments, please refer to Figure 6 The slide groove 51 includes a first connecting groove 511 and a second connecting groove 513 connected thereto. The notch of the first connecting groove 511 is larger than the notch of the second connecting groove 513, that is, the slide groove 51 has notches of different sizes. The small notch, that is, the notch of the second connecting groove 513, is used to fit the outer peripheral setting of the sliding part. The fitting setting here means that the sliding part can be snapped into the second connecting groove 513.

[0071] The cable buckle 5 can slide to make the first connection groove 511 or the second connection groove 513 contact the sliding member, so as to achieve connection or disconnection between the cable buckle 5 and the support plate 43 .

[0072] Please refer to Figure 5 , Figure 6 In actual operation, in the initial state, the second connecting groove 513 of the cable management buckle 5 and the sliding member on the support plate 43 are fitted together, and the cable management buckle 5 is fixed in the installation area 44 at this time; when operation and maintenance operations are required, the cable management buckle 5 slides to change the sliding member from the state of fitting into the second connecting groove 513 to being placed in the first connecting groove 511. Since the slot of the first connecting groove 511 is larger than the sliding member, the cable management buckle 5 is movable at this time, and the cable management buckle 5 is released from the installation area 44 by moving the cable management buckle 5 to remove the cable management buckle 5 for easy inspection and maintenance operations; to switch from the operation and maintenance operation state to the initial state, the cable management buckle 5 needs to slide to change the groove body that cooperates with the sliding member from the first connecting groove 511 to the second connecting groove 513, so that the groove body of the second connecting groove 513 fits the outer periphery of the sliding member to achieve the fixation of the cable management buckle 5.

[0073] It should be noted that if two cable management buckles 5 are provided in one installation area 44, one cable management buckle 5 is connected to each support plate 43, and the two cable management buckles 5 are spaced apart along the width direction of the support plate 43, so that each cable management buckle 5 has space to move when sliding out of the slide groove 51, and the disassembly and assembly of the two cable management buckles 5 do not interfere with each other. The width direction of the support plate 43 here is based on the sliding of the slide groove 51 relative to the length direction of the support plate 43, and the width direction is perpendicular to the length direction.

[0074] On the basis of any of the above embodiments, the cable management buckle 5 is a plastic buckle, which is easy to shape and can be processed into different shapes through different molds to meet different cable management requirements.

[0075] Please refer to Figure 6 , Figure 5 , the connection position between the first connection groove 511 and the second connection groove 513 is the transition section 512, and a clearance hole 55 is provided on the cable management buckle 5 at a position corresponding to the transition section 512. On the basis that the cable management buckle 5 is a plastic buckle, the setting of the clearance hole 55 allows the transition section 512 to have a deformation space. Specifically, when the cable management buckle 5 slides to change the connection position between the sliding member and the cable management buckle 5 from the first connection groove 511 to the second connection groove 513, the deformation of the transition section 512 allows the sliding member to smoothly enter the second connection groove 513 and be engaged to limit the position. Or, when the cable management buckle 5 slides to change the connection position between the sliding member and the cable management buckle 5 from the second connection groove 513 to the first connection groove 511, the deformation of the transition section 512 allows the sliding member to smoothly enter the first connection groove 511 from the second connection groove 513 to achieve the separation of the cable management buckle 5 and the installation area 44.

[0076] In this embodiment, if the sliding member is an I-shaped nail 41, the sliding groove 51 corresponds to a calabash hole, and a clearance hole 55 is provided on at least one side of the calabash hole, as long as deformation space can be provided.

[0077] Based on any of the above embodiments, please refer to Figure 6 The two clearance holes 55 are symmetrically arranged on both sides of the slide groove 51, so that the transition sections 512 on both sides of the slide groove 51 can be deformed outward, which is convenient for the uniform deformation and reset of both sides of the slide groove 51, and avoids the situation where the transition section 512 cannot be reset due to the unilateral force of the slide groove 51 due to the long-term use of the slide groove 51. The outward here is relative to away from the slide groove 51.

[0078] In addition, the shape of the inner wall of the clearance hole 55 close to the transition section 512 is consistent with the shape of the inner wall of the transition section 512. Under the thrust of the cable management buckle 5, the connection position of the sliding member is smoothly switched from the first connection groove 511 to the second connection groove 513.

[0079] Based on any of the above embodiments, at least two radiators 4 are provided on the mainboard 2, and at least one cable management buckle 5 is installed on the top of each radiator 4. The space on the top of the radiator 4 is used to form a setting space for the cable management buckle 5, and the possible setting positions of the cable management buckle 5 are increased, so that more cables can be combed and properly fixed. For example, in the case where there are more CPUs inside the server, and more power cables and signal cables are set, more cables can be stored by increasing the number of cable management buckles 5.

[0080] The installation area 44 is arranged at the top of the radiator 4, which does not affect the normal heat dissipation operation of the radiator 4 and provides an installation area for the cable management buckle 5, thereby making full use of the space. By optimizing the structure of the top of the radiator 4 to form the installation area 44, the cable management buckle 5 can be added to the top of the radiator 4, and the cables passing through the motherboard 2 are routed through the cable management buckle 5. On the one hand, the cable routing can be unified, and on the other hand, the cables are prevented from directly contacting the radiator and the heat pipe, thereby reducing the influence of high temperature on the cable signal.

[0081] In addition, if the space in the chassis permits, two or more layers of cable management buckles 5 can be set in the installation area 44, and there is a preset distance between two adjacent layers of cable management buckles 5. The preset distance can be set based on actual conditions to facilitate the disassembly and assembly of each layer of cable management buckles 5, so as to maximize the use of the space in the chassis and meet the needs of cable wiring.

[0082] Based on any of the above embodiments, the motherboard 2 is arranged in the server base 1, the side wall of the server base 1 is connected to the air guide cover 6, at least two avoidance spaces 63 are provided on the air guide cover 6, the radiator 4 and the cable management buckle 5 are arranged in the avoidance space 63, and the cable management buckle 5 is connected to the inner wall of the avoidance space 63.

[0083] Please refer to Figure 1 The server structure also includes a server base 1 , a mainboard 2 is installed at the bottom of the server base 1 , and a radiator 4 is installed on the mainboard 2 .

[0084] An air guide 6 is connected to the side wall of the server base 1 to guide the hot air flow from the radiator 4 and other heat dissipation components to achieve a heat dissipation effect. The heat dissipation components here can be in the form of heat sinks and the like.

[0085] The air guide cover 6 is arranged on the upper side of the radiator 4 and the cable management buckle 5. Specifically, the air guide cover 6 is provided with at least two avoidance spaces 63. After the top of the radiator 4 is connected to the cable management buckle 5, the whole is placed on the lower side of the avoidance space 63. By setting the avoidance space 63, the position of the radiator 4 can be effectively avoided, thereby maximizing the cable management space of the entire system.

[0086] In a specific embodiment, a long hole can be set at the top of the avoidance space 63 along the length direction of the installation area 44, and the moving direction can be marked on both sides of the long hole, that is, the moving direction when disassembling and assembling the cable management buckle 5, so as to facilitate the operator to operate quickly and accurately, and improve the efficiency of disassembling and assembling the cable management buckle 5; on the basis of setting the long hole at the top of the avoidance space 63, a positioning column extending into the long hole is provided on the cable management buckle 5, and the disassembly and assembly of the cable management buckle 5 is determined by the movement of the positioning column in the long hole. It should be noted that the height of the positioning column is lower than the height of the top of the long hole to avoid occupying too much space. In this case, after the cable management buckle 5 is disconnected from the installation area 44, the cable management buckle 5 can move downward with slots of different sizes, detach from the long hole, and then manually remove the cable management buckle 5 from the lower side of the avoidance space 63 without disassembling the air guide cover 6.

[0087] In another specific embodiment, a positioning hole may be provided at the top of the avoidance space 63 to facilitate the positioning of the air guide cover 6 and the cable management buckle 5. Specifically, a positioning column is provided on the cable management buckle 5. By aligning the positioning column with the positioning hole, the installation position of the air guide cover 6 is determined, which facilitates the rapid installation of the air guide cover 6. However, it should be noted that the cooperation between the positioning column and the positioning hole will not interfere with the removal of the cable management buckle 5 from the avoidance space 63. For example, the height of the portion of the positioning column extending into the positioning hole is set to be lower than the depth of the positioning hole, which facilitates the downward movement of the cable management buckle 5 to break away from the contact with the avoidance space 63.

[0088] On the basis of any of the above embodiments, two oppositely disposed side walls of the server base 1 are provided with cable management brackets 3 , and the cable management brackets 3 and the cable management buckles 5 are provided with positioning portions for positioning and installing the air guide cover 6 .

[0089] Please refer to Figure 1The two side walls of the server base 1 that are arranged opposite to each other are used to connect the two ends of the air guide cover 6. Specifically, the ends of the air guide cover 6 are connected through the cable management bracket 3 on the server base 1. After the cable management buckle 5 is installed on the radiator 4, the ends of the air guide cover 6 are connected to the cable management bracket 3 to complete the fixed installation of the air guide cover 6 and the server base 1.

[0090] Both the cable management buckle 5 and the cable management bracket 3 are provided with positioning parts for positioning and installing the air guide cover 6. Specifically, the positioning in one direction can be set on the cable management buckle 5, and the positioning in another direction can be set by the cable management bracket 3. The one direction and the other direction here are opposite directions. For example, the positioning part in one direction is used for positioning and installing the air guide cover 6 in the length direction, and the positioning part in the other direction is used for positioning and installing the air guide cover 6 in the width direction, thereby ensuring the accurate and reliable installation and fixation of the air guide cover 6.

[0091] In this embodiment, the positioning portion can be specifically in the form of a positioning column, a positioning hole, a card interface, etc., to ensure the accuracy and reliability of the installation of the air guide cover 6 in the server base 1, and avoid operational interference with the cable management buckle 5 due to improper installation.

[0092] Based on any of the above embodiments, please refer to Figure 6 The cable management buckle 5 includes a main body and a self-locking buckle 52 that can be opened and closed with the main body. The main body and the self-locking buckle 52 together form a cable management space 53, which avoids direct contact between the cable and components such as the radiator and heat pipe, thereby reducing the impact of high temperature on the cable signal.

[0093] The self-locking buckle 52 and the main body are buckled together to form a cable management space 53. Both ends of the cable management space 53 are openings for convenient cable insertion. The main body is used to support the cables. The self-locking buckle 52 is connected to the main body and can be opened and closed relative to the main body. When the self-locking buckle 52 is locked to the main body, the cable is fixed in the cable management space 53; when the self-locking buckle 52 is unlocked from the main body, the cable can be moved into or out of the cable management space 53.

[0094] Specifically, one end of the self-locking buckle 52 can be rotatably connected to the bottom of the main body, and the other end can be snap-connected to the top of the main body. The snap-connection can be in the form of a common buckle, and multiple buckles can be provided to ensure the reliability of the snap connection.

[0095] Specifically, one end of the self-locking buckle 52 can be connected to the bottom of the main body through a folding leaf, and the self-locking buckle 52 can be rotated to unfold or fold the folding leaf, so that the self-locking buckle 52 can be close to or away from the top of the main body. When the self-locking buckle 52 is close to the top of the main body, it can be buckled with the top of the main body to fix the cable. When the self-locking buckle 52 is away from the main body, it can be released from the top of the main body, so that the cable can be moved into or out of the cable management space 53. The buckling connection here can also adopt a common buckle form.

[0096] Please refer to Figure 3 , Figure 4 , Figure 7 At least one bracket positioning pin 34 is provided on the top of the cable management bracket 3, and a positioning hole 61 corresponding to the bracket positioning pin 34 is provided on the top of the air guide cover 6. The initial positioning and installation of the air guide cover 6 is achieved through the cooperation of the bracket positioning pin 34 and the positioning hole 61; a positioning pin 54 is provided on the top of the cable management buckle 5, and a guide hole 62 corresponding to the positioning pin 54 is opened on the inner wall of the avoidance space 63. The secondary positioning and installation of the air guide cover 6 is achieved through the cooperation of the guide hole 62 and the positioning pin 54, thereby ensuring the accuracy of the installation of the air guide cover 6 relative to the server base 1.

[0097] The axes of the positioning pin 54 and the bracket positioning pin shaft 34 are along the height direction of the server base 1, and the height direction of the server base 1 here is perpendicular to the sliding direction of the cable management buckle 5. When installing the air guide cover 6, the guide hole 62 of the air guide cover 6 and the positioning pin 54 are matched from top to bottom, and the positioning hole 61 and the bracket positioning pin shaft 34 are matched to achieve the positioning of the air guide cover 6. In the above process, the assembly method of the air guide cover 6 in the chassis is tool-free, specifically referring to the air guide cover 6 and the cable management bracket 3, the air guide cover 6 and the radiator 4, which is convenient and quick to install and disassemble, reducing the operation requirements for operation and maintenance personnel.

[0098] In a specific embodiment, the positioning pin 54 does not completely pass through the guide hole 62, which facilitates the disassembly and assembly of the cable management buckle 5 while achieving the sliding limiting effect on the cable management buckle 5. The convenience of disassembly and assembly of the cable management buckle 5 is specifically to facilitate the sliding member on the support plate 43 to change from the second connecting groove 513 that fits the slide groove 51 to the first connecting groove 511, and the connection between the sliding member and the slide groove 51 needs to be released. The positioning pin 54 can move downward relative to the guide hole 62, and the cable management buckle 5 can be removed from the radiator 4 without removing the air guide cover 6, so as to facilitate the release of the limiting effect of the air guide cover 6 on the cable management buckle 5, and facilitate the cable management buckle 5 to slide off the installation area 44 for cable or motherboard component maintenance operations.

[0099] Please refer to Figure 4 , Figure 2 , Figure 3 A tongue positioning hole 11 is provided on the side wall of the server base 1, and a bracket tongue 31 is provided at the bottom of the cable management bracket 3. The bracket tongue 31 is inserted into the tongue positioning hole 11 and there is a movable space between the two; when connecting the cable management bracket 3 and the side wall of the server base 1, the bracket tongue 31 is inserted into the tongue positioning hole 11, and then the cable management bracket 3 is pushed toward the direction of the side wall of the server base 1. When the bracket tongue 31 of the cable management bracket 3 is parallel to the side wall of the server base 1, the holes of the server base 1 and the cable management bracket 3 are aligned.

[0100] After the holes of the server base 1 and the cable management bracket 3 are aligned, the positioning pin hole 32 provided on the top of the cable management bracket 3 is connected with the rivet screw 13 on the server base 1 to achieve the initial fixation; the bracket spring screws 33 on both sides of the positioning pin hole 32 are connected with the rivet nut 12 provided on the server base 1 to achieve the secondary fixation. The above-mentioned specific process of connecting the server base 1 and the cable management bracket 3 is applicable to the installation of the cable management bracket 3 on the two side walls of the server base 1.

[0101] The axis directions of the rivet screw 13 and the rivet nut 12 are perpendicular to the height direction of the server base 1, and the axis directions of the rivet screw 13 and the rivet nut 12 are also perpendicular to the side wall direction of the server base 1. The rivet screw 13 and the rivet nut 12 are riveted to the server base 1 in advance, and when the server base 1 and the cable management bracket 3 are connected, tool-free installation can be achieved, thereby improving the efficiency and convenience of disassembly and assembly.

[0102] In addition, a motherboard positioning hole 21 and a motherboard spring screw 22 are provided on the motherboard 2. The motherboard positioning hole 21 and the motherboard spring screw 22 are both used for connecting the motherboard 2 and the server base 1 to ensure a reliable connection effect between the motherboard 2 and the server base 1. The specific setting of the motherboard positioning hole 21 and the motherboard spring screw 22 is not limited in number and position.

[0103] For details, please refer to Figure 2 , Figure 5 A motherboard positioning pin 14 connected to the motherboard positioning hole 21 and a motherboard nut 15 connected to the motherboard spring screw 22 are provided on the server base 1. The motherboard 2 is installed from top to bottom, and the motherboard positioning pin 14 is connected to the motherboard positioning hole 21 and the motherboard spring screw 22 is connected to the motherboard nut 15 to fix the motherboard 2.

[0104] In the above process, except for the assembly of the radiator 4 and the mainboard 2 which is fixed by screws, the assembly of other components is tool-free, such as the radiator 4 and the cable management buckle 5, the server base 1 and the cable management bracket 3, and the cable management bracket 3 and the air guide cover 6. The operation is simple and the requirements for production assembly and operation and maintenance personnel are reduced.
