AI Technical Summary

Technical Problem

The incompatibility between traditional RU-specification servers and OU-specification racks results in increased hardware replacement costs and reduced space utilization efficiency due to the wider design of OU-sized racks, which are not compatible with standard 19-inch RU servers.

Method used

A rack adapter is designed with left and right side panels and multiple sets of slide rail mounting holes, allowing RU-sized servers to be installed in OU-sized racks, enhancing compatibility and space utilization by supporting multiple servers simultaneously.

Benefits of technology

The rack adapter improves space utilization efficiency and reduces hardware replacement costs by enabling simultaneous installation of RU-specification servers in OU-specification racks, while maintaining structural stability and load-bearing capacity.
