Description

Technical Field

[0001] The present application relates to the technical field of servers, and in particular to a cable management handle and a server. Background Art

[0002] Faced with the challenges posed by the high-density and high-performance demands of server design in the era of artificial intelligence, the size of heat sinks is gradually increasing, further compressing the available space on the motherboard. Designing both a cable management bracket and a motherboard handle within this limited space is crucial. A motherboard handle is typically an accessory installed on the motherboard to facilitate carrying or lifting the motherboard. It typically consists of a pair of hooks or clips that secure directly to the motherboard's screw holes, allowing maintenance personnel to safely lift or move the motherboard without directly touching the motherboard's electronic components. Therefore, motherboard handles play a crucial role in the motherboard's assembly and disassembly process, facilitating maintenance personnel's operations. While traditional standalone cable management brackets can effectively organize cables, operators still need to be careful to avoid tangling carefully arranged cables when moving the server. The most important of these is the location of the high-speed signal onboard terminals. Because of the need to reduce signal transmission loss, the high-speed signal onboard terminals are relatively close to the central processing unit on the motherboard, causing them to often appear near the radiator. To avoid the cables scratching the radiator and related components on the motherboard in the chassis, causing risks such as damage to the motherboard, if the plug-in cables need to be managed, but due to the limited size of the motherboard and the remaining available space, it is necessary to combine the motherboard handle and the cable management bracket into one design. Utility Model Content

[0003] The present application discloses a cable management handle and a server, which are used to achieve the functions of cable management and lifting in one through a simple structure.

[0004] To achieve the above objectives, this application provides the following technical solutions:

[0005] In a first aspect, an embodiment of the present application provides a cable management handle, comprising: a cable management rack and a handle;

[0006] The cable management rack includes a bottom plate and a plurality of side plates, wherein the plurality of side plates are fixed to the bottom plate and are arranged on the bottom plate to form a cable trough with an opening facing away from the bottom plate; the plurality of side plates include at least two through holes, and the two through holes are connected to the cable trough;

[0007] The plurality of side panels include transition side panels and snap-on side panels. The handle is rotatably connected to the transition side panels and can be snap-oned with the snap-on side panels to confine the cables in the wire accommodating trough to the wire accommodating trough.

[0008] The cable management handle provided in this embodiment combines both lifting and cable management functions. The handle is mounted on the server motherboard via a cable management bracket, saving mounting space on the motherboard and improving space utilization. Furthermore, the handle and cable management bracket pivotally connect to form a single unit, eliminating the need for installation and enhancing reliability.

[0009] Specifically, the cable management rack includes a base plate and a plurality of side plates. The plurality of side plates are fixed on the base plate to form a U-shaped cable trough with an opening facing away from the base plate. There are at least two through holes on the side walls of the cable trough to allow cables to enter and exit. When managing cables, the cables enter the cable trough from one through hole and then pass through the cable trough from another through hole. The handle is rotatably connected to the adapter side plate of the cable management rack, and the handle has a first position and a second position relative to the adapter side plate. When the handle is in the first position, the cable management rack and the main board can be disassembled and carried by pulling the handle; when the handle is in the second position, the handle is engaged with the clamping side plate and blocks the opening of the cable trough along the axis perpendicular to the cable trough, so that the cables in the cable trough cannot escape from the opening of the cable trough, that is, the cables are confined to the cable trough.

[0010] In some embodiments, the plurality of side panels include a transition side panel and two snap-on side panels, the two snap-on side panels being connected to opposite sides of the bottom panel and both being arranged perpendicular to the transition side panel; the connection between the handle and the transition side panel is located between the two snap-on side panels;

[0011] There is a first gap between at least one of the two clamping side plates and the adapter side plate for forming one through hole; there is a second gap at one end of the two clamping side plates away from the adapter side plate for forming another through hole.

[0012] The adapter side panel and the two snap-fit side panels form a T-shaped structure or an L-shaped structure. When a through hole is formed between the adapter side panel and one snap-fit side panel, and a through hole is formed between the adapter side panel and the other snap-fit side panel, and another through hole is formed at one end of the two snap-fit side panels away from the adapter side panel, the cable trough is a T-shaped slot. When a through hole is formed between the adapter side panel and one snap-fit side panel, and the adapter side panel is connected to the other snap-fit side panel, and another through hole is formed at one end of the two snap-fit side panels away from the adapter side panel, the cable trough is an L-shaped slot. The connection between the handle and the adapter side panel is located between the two snap-fit side panels, and a simple handle structure can be used to prevent cables in the cable trough from escaping from the opening.

[0013] In some embodiments, the handle includes a first rod portion and a second rod portion, the first rod portion is rotatably connected to the adapter side plate via a rotating shaft, and the connection between the second rod portion and the first rod portion is located between two ends of the second rod portion;

[0014] The end of the clamping side plate facing away from the bottom plate is provided with a clamping hook for clamping and cooperating with the second rod portion.

[0015] The handle itself does not need to be designed with a snap-on structure. The handle and the cable management rack can be snapped together by simply setting a hook on the snap-on side panel, and the handle can be reused as a stopper. The cable management handle provided in the embodiment of the present application combines the functions of pulling and stopping in one structure of the handle, thereby streamlining the structure of the entire cable management bracket.

[0016] In some embodiments, when the handle is engaged with the cable management frame, the handle does not protrude from the cable management frame, thereby reducing the longitudinal size of the entire cable management frame.

[0017] In some embodiments, a stop plate parallel to the bottom plate is provided on a side of at least one of the two clamping side plates facing away from the bottom plate, and the stop plate is located between the two clamping side plates;

[0018] Along the arrangement direction of the two clamping side plates, the size of the stop plate is smaller than half of the vertical distance between the two clamping side plates.

[0019] The stop plate initially prevents cables from falling out of the trough, and works in conjunction with the handle rotated to its second position to maintain stable positioning of the cables within the trough. The stop plate's size is less than half the vertical distance between the two engaging side panels, allowing it to work with the handle to prevent cables from falling out without hindering their entry into the trough through the opening.

[0020] In some embodiments, each of the clamping side plates is provided with the stop plate, and all of the stop plates are spaced apart along the axial direction of the wire accommodating groove.

[0021] The staggered arrangement of the stop plates on the two clamping side panels prevents the stop plates from closing the opening of the cable trough at a certain transverse section, ensuring that cables can enter the cable trough from the opening. The transverse section here is a section perpendicular to the axis of the cable trough.

[0022] In some embodiments, the size of the wire accommodating groove in the first direction is greater than the size in the second direction, wherein the first direction is the normal direction of the base plate, and the second direction is perpendicular to the first direction; and both the first direction and the second direction are perpendicular to the axial direction of the wire accommodating groove.

[0023] The cross-section of the cable trough is larger in the longitudinal direction than in the transverse direction, allowing the cable management rack to support both cables and cooling pipes. In use, the cooling pipes can be located between the cables and the base plate, with the cables securing the pipes to the base plate.

[0024] In some embodiments, a fixing column is fixedly provided on a side of the bottom plate facing away from the cable trough, for cooperating with a fixing member to fix the cable management handle.

[0025] The cable management handle contacts the motherboard through the fixing column, and the fixing piece passes through the bottom plate and the fixing column to fix the entire cable management handle to the motherboard. The fixing column protrudes from the bottom plate to reduce the installation area of the motherboard.

[0026] In some embodiments, the cable management rack is an integrated structure, does not require installation, has no installation tolerance, and has high safety and reliability.

[0027] In a second aspect, an embodiment of the present application further provides a server, comprising a mainboard and a cable management handle as described in any one of the first aspects; the cable management handle is fixed to the mainboard.

[0028] From the perspective of maintenance convenience, this integrated handle and cable management device can play a huge role in server disassembly, installation, and relocation. From the perspective of optimizing space utilization, the combined design saves valuable space inside the server, reduces the need to install additional accessories, and makes the interior of the chassis more simple and orderly.

DETAILED DESCRIPTION

[0041] First, let me introduce the application scenario of this application: The current server design field is still at the stage of fixing the cable management clip on the motherboard handle for the design of combining the motherboard handle and the cable management rack (or cable clamp). This design can be adapted in an environment with sufficient space, but due to the fixing method, the cable clamp has a rotation or fixed angle that does not meet the requirements. In the process of cable management, there are situations where the cable management and routing angles cannot meet the actual routing. In an environment with limited space, the cable clamp's cable holding capacity will be reduced, and it will not meet the actual cable routing size and number.

[0042] Based on the above application scenarios, an embodiment of the present application provides a cable management handle and a server, which are used to rotate the handle and place it on a cable management rack to achieve the unified functions of cable management and pulling.

[0043] The following will clearly and completely describe the technical solutions in the embodiments of the present application in conjunction with the drawings in the embodiments of the present application. Obviously, the described embodiments are only part of the embodiments of the present application, not all of the embodiments. Based on the embodiments in the present application, all other embodiments obtained by ordinary technicians in this field without making creative work are within the scope of protection of this application. Among them, in the description of the embodiments of the present application, unless otherwise specified, " / " means or, for example, A / B can mean A or B; "and / or" in the text is only a description of the association relationship of associated objects, indicating that there can be three relationships, for example, A and / or B can mean: A exists alone, A and B exist at the same time, and B exists alone. In addition, in the description of the embodiments of the present application, "multiple" refers to two or more than two.

[0044] In the following, the terms "first" and "second" are used for descriptive purposes only and should not be understood to imply or suggest relative importance or implicitly indicate the number of the technical features indicated. Therefore, the features defined as "first" and "second" may explicitly or implicitly include one or more of the features. In the description of the embodiments of this application, unless otherwise specified, "plurality" means two or more.

[0045] Figure 1 This is a three-dimensional image of the cable management handle when the handle is rotated to the first position relative to the cable management frame. Figure 2 A three-dimensional image of the cable management handle when the handle is rotated to the second position relative to the cable management frame; Figure 1 and Figure 2 As shown, the embodiment of the present application provides a cable management handle, including: a cable management rack 100 and a handle 200;

[0046] The cable management rack 100 includes a bottom plate 110 and a plurality of side plates. The plurality of side plates are fixed to the bottom plate 110 and are arranged around the bottom plate 110 to form a cable trough 101 with an opening 102 facing away from the bottom plate 110. The plurality of side plates include at least two through holes, and the two through holes are connected to the cable trough 101.

[0047] The plurality of side panels include an adapter side panel 120 and a snap-on side panel 130 . The handle 200 is rotatably connected to the adapter side panel 120 and can be snap-on engaged with the snap-on side panel 130 to confine the cables in the cable duct 101 within the cable duct 101 .

[0048] The cable management handle provided in this embodiment combines both lifting and cable management functions. The handle 200 is mounted on the server motherboard via the cable management frame 100, saving mounting space on the motherboard and improving space utilization. Furthermore, the handle 200 and cable management frame 100 are rotatably connected to form a single unit, eliminating the need for installation and enhancing reliability.

[0049] Specifically, the cable management rack 100 includes a bottom plate 110 and a plurality of side plates. The plurality of side plates are fixed on the bottom plate 110 to form a U-shaped cable trough 101 with an opening 102 facing away from the bottom plate 110. There are at least two through holes on the side wall of the cable trough 101 to allow cables to enter and exit. When managing cables, the cables enter the cable trough 101 from one through hole and then pass through the other through hole. Figure 1 and Figure 2As shown, the handle 200 is rotatably connected to the adapter side plate 120 of the cable management rack 100, and the handle 200 has a first position and a second position relative to the adapter side plate 120. When the handle 200 is in the first position, the cable management rack 100 and the main board can be disassembled and carried by pulling the handle 200; when the handle 200 is in the second position, the handle 200 is engaged with the clamping side plate 130, and blocks the opening 102 of the cable trough 101 along the axial direction perpendicular to the cable trough 101, so that the cables in the cable trough 101 cannot escape from the cable trough 101 through the opening 102 of the cable trough 101, that is, the cables are confined to the cable trough 101.

[0050] Figure 3 This is a top view of the cable management handle when the handle is rotated to the first position relative to the cable management frame. Figure 4 A top schematic diagram of the cable management handle when the handle is rotated to the second position relative to the cable management frame;

[0051] In some embodiments, as Figure 3 and Figure 4 As shown, the multiple side panels include a transition side panel 120 and two snap-on side panels 130. The two snap-on side panels 130 are connected to opposite sides of the bottom panel 110 and are both perpendicular to the transition side panel 120. The connection between the handle 200 and the transition side panel 120 is located between the two snap-on side panels 130.

[0052] There is a first gap between at least one of the two clamping side plates 130 and the adapter side plate 120 for forming a through hole; there is a second gap at one end of the two clamping side plates 130 away from the adapter side plate 120 for forming another through hole.

[0053] The adapter side plate 120 and the two clamping side plates 130 form a T-shaped structure, such as Figure 3 and Figure 4 As shown, the adapter side plate 120 and the two clamping side plates 130 form an L-shaped structure. When a through hole, namely the second through hole 104, is formed between the adapter side plate 120 and one clamping side plate 130, and a through hole, namely the third through hole 105, is formed between the adapter side plate 120 and the other clamping side plate 130, another through hole, namely the first through hole 103, is formed at one end of the two clamping side plates 130 away from the adapter side plate 120. At this time, the wire trough 101 is a T-shaped slot, as shown in FIG. Figure 3 and Figure 4As shown, when a through hole is formed between the adapter side panel 120 and one of the snap-fit side panels 130, and the adapter side panel 120 is connected to the other snap-fit side panel 130, another through hole is formed at the end of the two snap-fit side panels 130 facing away from the adapter side panel 120, and the cable trough 101 now forms an L-shaped slot. The handle 200 is connected to the adapter side panel 120 between the two snap-fit side panels 130, and this simple handle 200 structure prevents cables in the cable trough 101 from escaping through the opening 102.

[0054] Figure 5 This is a schematic diagram of the cable management handle when the handle is rotated to the first position relative to the cable management frame. Figure 6 A schematic diagram of a side view of the cable management handle when the handle is rotated to the second position relative to the cable management frame; and Figure 5 and Figure 6 The same perspective.

[0055] In some embodiments, as Figure 5 As shown, the handle 200 includes a first rod portion 210 and a second rod portion 220. The first rod portion 210 is rotatably connected to the adapter side plate 120 via a rotating shaft 300. The connection between the second rod portion 220 and the first rod portion 210 is located between the two ends of the second rod portion 220.

[0056] A hook 131 for engaging with the second rod portion 220 is provided at one end of the engaging side plate 130 facing away from the bottom plate 110 .

[0057] like Figure 6 As shown, when the handle 200 is rotated to the second position relative to the cable management rack 100, the hook 131 on the snap-fit side plate 130 snaps into engagement with the second rod portion 220 of the handle 200, thereby securing the handle 200 relative to the cable management rack 100. Simultaneously, the handle 200 serves as a stopper for the cables within the cable trough 101. The handle 200 itself does not require a snap-fit structure; merely providing the hook 131 on the snap-fit side plate 130 allows the handle 200 to snap into engagement with the cable management rack 100, allowing the handle 200 to be reused as a stopper. The cable management handle provided in this embodiment of the present application combines the functions of lifting and stopping into a single structure, streamlining the structure of the entire cable management rack.

[0058] In some embodiments, as Figure 6 As shown, when the handle 200 is engaged with the cable management frame 100 , the handle 200 does not protrude from the cable management frame 100 , thereby reducing the longitudinal dimension of the entire cable management frame 100 .

[0059] like Figure 5 As shown, when the handle 200 is rotated to the first position relative to the cable management rack 100, the handle 200 protrudes from the cable management rack 100, and the cable management handle can be carried by lifting the handle 200; Figure 6As shown, when the handle 200 is rotated relative to the cable management frame 100 to the second position, the handle 200 does not protrude from the cable management frame 100. For example, the upper surface of the handle 200 is no higher than the upper surface of the cable management frame 100. For example, the upper surface of the handle 200 is coplanar with the upper surface of the structure of the cable management frame 100, excluding the hook 131. The upper surface here can be understood as the surface facing away from the bottom plate 110 of the cable management frame 100. Therefore, the highest position of the entire cable management handle is determined by the height of the hook 131. While ensuring the strength of the connection, the height of the hook 131 can be appropriately lowered, thereby reducing the height of the entire cable management handle.

[0060] In some embodiments, as Figure 3 and Figure 4 As shown, at least one of the two clamping side plates 130 is provided with a stop plate 132 parallel to the bottom plate 110 on the side facing away from the bottom plate 110 , and the stop plate 132 is located between the two clamping side plates 130 ;

[0061] Along the arrangement direction of the two clamping side plates 130 , the size of the stop plate 132 is smaller than half of the vertical distance between the two clamping side plates 130 .

[0062] like Figure 3 and Figure 4 As shown, the stop plate 132 can initially prevent the cables in the cable trough 101 from falling out, and cooperate with the handle 200 rotated to the second position to achieve stable positioning of the cables in the cable trough 101.

[0063] In some embodiments, along the arrangement direction of the two clamping side plates 130, the dimension d of the stop plate 132 satisfies:

[0064] D / 4≤d<D / 2, where D is the vertical distance between the two clamping side plates 130 .

[0065] The size design of the stop plate 132 allows the stop plate 132 to cooperate with the handle 200 to achieve an anti-drop function without affecting the cable from entering the cable duct 101 through the opening 102.

[0066] In some embodiments, as Figure 3 and Figure 4 As shown, each of the clamping side plates 130 is provided with a stop plate 132 , and all the stop plates 132 are arranged at intervals along the axial direction of the wire accommodating groove 101 .

[0067] The cable management handle provided in the embodiment of the present application can be used to manage two cables simultaneously. The two cables are placed side by side in the cable trough 101. The stop plate 132 on one of the snap-fit side panels 130 is used to prevent the cable near the snap-fit side panel 130 from falling out, and the stop plate 132 on the other snap-fit side panel 130 is used to prevent the cable near the snap-fit side panel 130 from falling out. In addition, the stop plates 132 on the two snap-fit side panels 130 are staggered to prevent the stop plates 132 from closing the opening 102 of the cable trough 101 at a certain transverse section, ensuring that the cables can enter the cable trough 101 from the opening 102. The transverse section here refers to a section perpendicular to the axis of the cable trough 101.

[0068] In some embodiments, as Figure 3 and Figure 4 As shown, the cable management rack 100 also includes another side panel fixed to the bottom plate 110, which is parallel to the adapter side panel 120 and connected to the snap-on side panel 130 through an arc-shaped panel to form an integral structure. The side panel, the adapter side panel 120 and the bottom plate 110 form a third through hole 105. The cable management handle provided in the embodiment of the present application is a T-shaped structure with three through holes, namely a first through hole 103, a second through hole 104 and a third through hole 105. Two cables enter the cable trough 101 from the second through hole 104 and the third through hole 105 respectively and then exit the cable trough 101 from the first through hole 103. In other words, the first through hole 103 needs to ensure that the two cables are arranged in parallel, so the size of the first through hole 103 is larger than the size of the second through hole 104 and the third through hole 105.

[0069] The side of the adapter side plate 120 facing away from the bottom plate 110 is provided with a stopper 121 facing the side plate, and the stopper 121 is parallel to the bottom plate 110. Figure 3 and Figure 4 As shown, the size of the stopper 121 can be half of the distance between the two side panels.

[0070] At the same time, with the increasing demand for liquid cooling of central processing units (CPUs) in the server market, the interconnecting cooling pipes between the two CPUs require support from cooling pipe brackets to prevent them from scratching the motherboard's onboard components. This requires restraining both the cooling pipes and cables, necessitating the integration of the motherboard handle, cable management bracket, and cooling pipe bracket within the limited space. Current servers, while providing both motherboard handles and cable management racks (or clips), lack the ability to support and restrain the liquid cooling pipes. Consequently, a multifunctional component that simultaneously handles cable management, cooling pipe support, and motherboard handles is missing in current server design.

[0071] Figure 7 This is a schematic diagram of the other side of the cable management handle when the handle is rotated to the first position relative to the cable management frame. Figure 8 A schematic diagram of the other side of the cable management handle when the handle is rotated to the second position relative to the cable management frame; and Figure 7 and Figure 8 The same perspective.

[0072] In some embodiments, as Figure 7 and Figure 8 As shown, the size of the wire trough 101 in the first direction is greater than the size in the second direction, wherein the first direction is the normal direction of the bottom plate 110, and the second direction is perpendicular to the first direction; and both the first direction and the second direction are perpendicular to the axial direction of the wire trough 101.

[0073] The longitudinal dimension H of the cross section of the cable trough 101 is greater than the transverse dimension L, allowing the cable management rack 100 to simultaneously support both cables and cooling pipes. During use, the cooling pipes can be located between the cables and the base plate 110, with the cables securing the cooling pipes to the base plate 110.

[0074] In some embodiments, as Figure 5 and Figure 6 As shown, a fixing column 400 is fixedly provided on the side of the bottom plate 110 facing away from the cable trough 101 , for cooperating with a fixing member 500 to fix the cable management handle.

[0075] Figure 9 This is a schematic diagram of the structure of the cable management handle fixedly installed on the server motherboard. Figure 9 As shown, the cable management handle contacts the main board 600 through the fixing column 400, and the fixing member 500 passes through the bottom plate 110 and the fixing column 400 to fix the entire cable management handle on the main board 600. The fixing column 400 protrudes from the bottom plate 110 to reduce the installation area of the main board 600.

[0076] In some embodiments, the cable management rack 100 is an integrated structure, does not require installation, has no installation tolerance, and has high safety and reliability.

[0077] The cable management handle provided in the embodiment of the present application can also serve as a liquid cooling tube support. It is mainly used in scenarios where the space available for the server motherboard is limited. It can realize the functions of cable management, liquid cooling tube support, and motherboard handle in the limited upper space of the board. The cable management handle includes a handle 200 and a cable management frame 100. The handle 200 is rotatably fixed to the cable management frame 100 by a rotating shaft 300. With the help of the rotating shaft 300, the handle 200 can be partially retracted and the handle 200 can be stopped by the hook 131 on the cable management frame 100. At this time, the handle 200 can act as a cable stop structure to prevent the server from vibrating or falling and ejecting the cable self-contained cable duct 101, thereby scratching the surrounding components on the motherboard and causing the risk of component damage or cable damage. At the same time, the height of the handle 200 in the chassis can be reduced, and it is compatible with servers of different U numbers and has good compatibility. Furthermore, the design of the handle 200 being foldable can effectively improve the overall reliability and reduce the risk of damage to the handle 200 due to external forces.

[0078] In a second aspect, an embodiment of the present application further provides a server, comprising a mainboard and any one of the cable management handles described in the first aspect; the cable management handle is fixedly mounted on the mainboard.

[0079] like Figure 9 As shown, the cable management handle that also functions as a cooling pipe bracket is dropped vertically to the fixed position on the main board 600, and fixed to the main board 600 with the help of fixing members 500 such as two screws. Figure 9 As can be seen, the cable management handle is fixed between the CPU's air-cooled heat sinks A and B, utilizing the existing space to achieve its function. It also decouples the CPU's heat sink from handle 200, leaving ample room for use with the heat sink in place. With handle 200 in place, the heat sink can be disassembled and maintained normally.

[0080] Figure 10 This is a schematic diagram of the cable management handle in the server. Figure 11 This is a schematic diagram of the cable management handle in the server that also supports the cooling pipes. Figure 10 and Figure 11 As shown, the server can manage cables or simultaneously manage cables and support and fix cooling pipes through a cable management handle, thus achieving multiple functions through a simple structure.

[0081] When managing cables Figure 10 As shown, the cable 710 passing between radiators A and B can be restrained, ensuring that the outer protective net of cable 710 does not contact the radiator, preventing the radiator from scratching the cable 710. At the same time, the cable can be managed in up to two directions. At this time, the structure of the cable and handle 200 does not affect the disassembly and assembly of the radiator. The cable and radiator are decoupled, which can effectively improve the maintenance efficiency of the radiator and cable. By folding and retracting the handle 200, the cable is restrained, preventing the cable from jumping out of the cable trough 101 due to external forces.

[0082] like Figure 11 The figure shows the CPU liquid cooling with the cooling pipe 720 and cable 710 coexisting. The handle 200 not only serves as a cooling pipe support, but also allows for cable management. At this point, partially folding the handle 200 allows for simultaneous restraint of the cable 710 and the liquid cooling pipe 720, preventing them from popping out and causing scratches.

[0083] First, from the perspective of ease of maintenance, this device, which integrates the handle 200 with a cable management function, can play a significant role during server disassembly, assembly, and migration. Second, from the perspective of optimizing space utilization, the two-in-one design can save valuable space inside the server, reduce the need to install additional accessories, and make the interior of the chassis more concise and organized. Furthermore, from the perspective of long-term maintenance and upgrades, this design simplifies the internal structure of the server, allowing IT maintenance personnel to access key components more quickly when performing hardware upgrades or troubleshooting, without having to waste time searching for release points among complex cables. At the same time, good cable management also facilitates the recording and restoration of cable layouts, which is a great aid to team collaboration and future maintenance records.

[0084] The cable management handle and server provided in the embodiment of the present application can realize the functions of the cooling pipe bracket, the cable management function and the motherboard handle at the same time in an air-cooled or liquid-cooled environment when the motherboard space is limited, and has good space utilization. Moreover, the handle 200 and the cable management rack 100 are connected into an integrated structure, which has a higher degree of reliability. Due to its special structure, it can meet both liquid cooling and air cooling scenarios. When the server is reconfigured for air-liquid switching, there is no need to add or remove other structural parts, thereby improving operation and maintenance efficiency and reducing operation and maintenance and manufacturing costs. Because the handle 200 can be folded and retracted, the overall height of the cable management handle is reduced, and it can be used on servers with different U numbers, with good compatibility.

[0085] Obviously, those skilled in the art may make various changes and modifications to the embodiments of the present application without departing from the spirit and scope of the present application. Thus, if such modifications and variations of the present application fall within the scope of the claims of the present application and their equivalents, the present application is intended to include such modifications and variations.
