Power supply system for edge servers and edge servers

Abstract

This application provides a power supply system for an edge server, suitable for supplying power to a motherboard and at least one high-power component. The power supply system includes: a high-power power supply configured to supply high-power output; and a power conversion module configured to be electrically connected to the high-power power supply and converting the high-power output received from the high-power power supply into a first power output and at least one second power output, wherein the first power output is suitable for supplying power to the motherboard, and the at least one second power output is suitable for supplying power to at least one high-power component; wherein the maximum output power of the high-power power supply is greater than or equal to the total power consumption of the edge server, which is the sum of the power consumption required by the motherboard and the power consumption required by at least one high-power component, and the power consumption required by at least one high-power component is greater than or equal to 1,000 watts. Therefore, the power supply system can solve the problem that conventional power supplies cannot provide sufficient power to meet the usage requirements of high-power components. Additionally, this application also provides an edge server.
