Description

Technical Field

[0001] The present invention relates to the field of computer equipment, and in particular to a server. Background Art

[0002] With the continuous development and progress of computer technology, servers are widely used in various fields as high-performance computers to provide fast, accurate and secure computing and storage services. The basic architecture of a server is roughly the same as that of a general personal computer. It is composed of components such as a central processing unit (CPU), memory, and input / output (I / O) devices, which are connected internally by a bus. The north bridge chip connects the central processing unit and memory, while the south bridge chip connects the input / output devices.

[0003] At present, the layout and architecture of servers are quite mature. In order to meet the technical support for maps and games, the Internet computer industry has higher and higher requirements for server graphics processing and graphics cards. However, considering the cost and space requirements, it is hoped that large graphics cards can be highly integrated in a limited chassis space. However, due to the limitation of the national standard cabinet shelf size, the width of the chassis cannot be unlimited, so there may be insufficient chassis space when integrating graphics cards on the server motherboard. In addition, since the graphics card must be kept fixed when working, otherwise the cooling fan will not work well and easily generate noise, thereby affecting the heat dissipation of the graphics card and then affecting the function of the graphics card. On the other hand, in the prior art, the position of the external display interface of the graphics card is fixed (generally fixed on the graphics card), and the position cannot be flexibly changed according to demand, which is inconvenient to use. Summary of the invention
