[0024] Cabinet servers can use a centralized power supply method. However, this method can only provide 48V DC voltage and cannot provide AC voltage or high-voltage DC voltage. When deploying switches in cabinet servers, switches usually use 220V AC voltage, and there are fewer models that use 48V DC voltage, resulting in low versatility of cabinet servers. If a power distribution unit (PDU) is placed separately to provide 220V AC voltage, a separate three-phase 380V AC voltage input is required, resulting in a waste of height space in the cabinet server, a reduction in the number of server nodes deployed, and a lower density. Cabinet servers can also use a built-in PDU power supply method. However, since this method cannot centrally supply power, in order to ensure the reliability of power backup, two power supplies need to be provided to the server for power supply, resulting in high overall power supply deployment costs. In addition, the PDU uses power cords for power supply. When the number of servers is large, the power cords are difficult to route and difficult to maintain. In order to solve the above technical problems, the embodiments of the present application provide the following solutions.

[0025] like Figure 1 As shown, Figure 1 Schematic diagram of a cabinet server 100 provided in an embodiment of the present application. The cabinet server 100 includes a power supply module 10, at least one DC device 40, at least one AC device 50, a DC power supply module 60, and an AC power supply module 70.

[0026] The power supply module 10 is used to be inserted into the DC power supply module 60 and / or the AC power supply module 70. The power supply module 10 is used to receive the three-phase AC voltage input from the outside of the cabinet server and output a first AC voltage to the DC power supply module 60 and / or the AC power supply module 70.

[0027] When the DC power module 60 is inserted into the power module 10 , the DC power module 60 is connected to at least one DC device 40 through the power module 10 , and the DC power module 60 is configured to provide a first DC voltage to the at least one DC device 40 .

[0028] When the AC power module 70 is inserted into the power module 10 , the AC power module 70 is connected to at least one AC device 50 through the power module 10 , and the AC power module 70 is configured to provide a second AC voltage to the at least one AC device 50 .

[0029] The first AC voltage can be 220V, and can also be other AC voltage values. The first DC voltage can be 48V DC voltage, and can also be other DC voltage values. The second AC voltage can be 220V DC voltage, and can also be other AC voltage values. The DC device 40 can be a 48V DC device, and can also be a DC device supporting other voltages. The AC device 50 can be a 220V AC device, and can also be an AC device supporting other voltages.

[0030] The cabinet server 100, such as an entire cabinet server, an entire cabinet, or an equipment cabinet, can be installed with at least one server node and / or at least one switch, etc. The server node, such as a rack server, a blade server, or a tower server, is generally a DC device 40 powered by DC power (such as DC 48V, etc.). The switch is generally an AC device 50 powered by AC power (such as AC 220V, etc.), or some models of AC devices can also be DC devices 40 powered by DC power (such as DC 48V, etc.). That is, the cabinet server 100 can be compatible with DC devices 40 (such as server nodes, etc.) powered by DC power and AC devices 50 (such as switches, etc.) powered by AC power.

[0031] Further, as shown in Figure 1 The cabinet server 100 further includes a power line 20 and a copper bar 30.

[0032] When the DC power module 60 is inserted into the power module 10, the DC power module 60 is connected to the copper bar 30, and the copper bar 30 is connected to at least one DC device 40. The DC power module 60 is used to provide a first DC voltage to the at least one DC device 40. When the AC power module 70 is inserted into the power module 10, the AC power module 70 is connected to the power line 20, and the power line 20 is connected to at least one AC device 50. The AC power module 70 is used to provide a second AC voltage to the at least one AC device 50. This enables the cabinet server 100 to be compatible with DC devices 40 and AC devices 50 for power supply, thereby enhancing the versatility of devices within the cabinet server.

[0033] The power module 10 includes an AC cable connector 11, an access module 12 and a power backplane 13. The power module 10 also includes a plurality of slots 14 (such as N PSU slots, etc.), each slot 14 (described below as a PSU slot 14) can be inserted with a DC power module 60 or an AC power module 70, which can be a power supply unit (PSU). Among them, the AC cable connector 11, the access module 12 and the plurality of PSU slots 14 are located on the power backplane 13. Each of the N PSU slots 14 corresponds to an AC cable connector 11. Optionally, each of a part of the N PSU slots 14 corresponds to an AC cable connector 11. N can be an integer greater than 0.

[0034] The access module 12 is used to input a three-phase alternating voltage (for example, a 380V alternating voltage) from outside the cabinet server 100, and output a single-phase first alternating voltage to the DC power module 60 and / or the AC power module 70.

[0035] When the DC power module 60 is inserted into a PSU slot 14 of the power module 10, the input end of the DC power module 60 is connected with the access module 12, and the output end of the DC power module 60 is connected with the copper bar 30, and the copper bar 30 is connected with at least one DC device 40. The DC power module 60 is used to receive the first alternating voltage output by the access module 12, convert the first alternating voltage into a first DC voltage, and output the first DC voltage to at least one DC device 40 through the copper bar 30. It should be noted that the copper bar 30 can receive the first DC voltage output by all DC power modules 60, and output the first DC voltage to at least one DC device 40 in a centralized manner. Thus, the circuit structure is simplified, the space utilization rate of the cabinet server is improved, and the reliability of the circuit is ensured.

[0036] When the AC power module 70 is inserted into a PSU slot 14 of the power module 10, the input end of the AC power module 70 is connected with the access module 12, and the output end of the AC power module 70 is connected with the AC cable connector 11, and the AC cable connector 11 is connected with an AC device 50 through the power cord 20. The AC power module 70 is used to receive the first alternating voltage output by the access module 12, and output a second alternating voltage to the AC device 50. Among them, the second alternating voltage can be the same as the first alternating voltage, for example, the first alternating voltage and the second alternating voltage can both be 220V alternating voltage. The second alternating voltage can be different from the first alternating voltage, for example, the first alternating voltage can be 220V alternating voltage, and the second alternating voltage can be 110V alternating voltage.

[0037] As shown in FIG. 1, Figure 2 Figure 2 ​1 is a schematic diagram of the structure of a power supply module 10 provided in an embodiment of the present application. The power supply module 10 includes multiple PSU slots 14, each of which includes a first AC output connector 141, a first control signal connector 142, a first AC input connector 143, and a first DC output connector 144. The first AC output connector 141 is connected to the AC cable connector 11, the first DC output connector 144 is connected to the copper bus 30, and the first AC input connector 143 is connected to the access module 12. Optionally, the power supply module 10 may further include a control module (not shown), and the first control signal connector 142 is connected to the control module.

[0038] The first AC output connector 141, the first control signal connector 142, the first AC input connector 143, and the first DC output connector 144 in the PSU slot 14 are configured to connect the first control signal connector 142, the first AC input connector 143, and the first DC output connector 144 to the DC power module 60 when the DC power module 60 is inserted into the PSU slot 14. Alternatively, when the AC power module 70 is inserted into the PSU slot 14, the first AC output connector 141, the first control signal connector 142, and the first AC input connector 143 are connected to the AC power module 70.

[0039] like Figure 3 As shown, Figure 3 This is a schematic diagram of the structure of a DC power supply module 60 provided in an embodiment of the present application. The DC power supply module 60 includes a second DC output connector 61, a second AC input connector 62, a second control signal connector 63, and a voltage conversion module 64. The voltage conversion module 64 is connected to the second DC output connector 61, the second AC input connector 62, and the second control signal connector 63, respectively. The second AC input connector 62 (serving as the input end of the DC power supply module 60) is connected to the access module 12 through the first AC input connector 143 of the PSU slot 14. The second AC input connector 62 is used to receive the first AC voltage output by the access module 12 through the first AC input connector 143 of the PSU slot 14. The voltage conversion module 64 is used to convert the first AC voltage into a first DC voltage. The second DC output connector 61 (serving as the output end of the DC power supply module 60) is connected to the first DC output connector 144 of the PSU slot 14. The second DC output connector 61 is used to output the first DC voltage to the DC device 40 through the first DC output connector 144 of the PSU slot 14 and the copper busbar 30. The second control signal connector 63 is connected to the control module through the first control signal connector 142 of the PSU slot 14 . The second control signal connector 63 is used to receive the control signal output by the control module through the first control signal connector 142 of the PSU slot 14 .

[0040] The second AC input connector 62, the second DC output connector 61 and the second control signal connector 63 in the DC power module 60 can be located at the same side of the DC power module 60, corresponding to the PSU slot 14, so that the DC power module 60 can be inserted into the PSU slot 14 to establish connection with the PSU slot 14. The position of the second AC input connector 62 in the DC power module 60 corresponds to the position of the first AC input connector 143 in the PSU slot 14, the position of the second DC output connector 61 in the DC power module 60 corresponds to the position of the first DC output connector 144 in the PSU slot 14, and the position of the second control signal connector 63 in the DC power module 60 corresponds to the position of the first control signal connector 142 in the PSU slot 14. When the DC power module 60 is inserted into the PSU slot 14, the second AC input connector 62 in the DC power module 60 is connected with the first AC input connector 143 in the PSU slot 14, the second DC output connector 61 is connected with the first DC output connector 144, and the second control signal connector 63 is connected with the first control signal connector 142.

[0041] When the DC power module 60 is inserted into any one of the PSU slots (for example, the PSU3 slot) in the power supply module 10, the second AC input connector 62 in the DC power module 60 is connected with the first AC input connector 143 in the PSU3 slot, so that the input end of the DC power module 60 is connected with the access module 12 to receive the first AC voltage output by the access module 12. The second DC output connector 61 in the DC power module 60 is connected with the first DC output connector 144 in the PSU3 slot, so that the output end of the DC power module 60 is connected with the copper bar 30 and connected to at least one DC device 40 through the copper bar 30 to output the first DC voltage to the at least one DC device 40. The second control signal connector 63 in the DC power module 60 is connected with the first control signal connector 142 in the PSU3 slot, so that the DC power module 60 can be connected to the control module in the PSU3 slot to receive control or adjustment from the control module. Through the above connection, the following current path 1 is formed:

[0042] The current passes through the access module 12, the first AC input connector 143 in the PSU3 slot 14, the second AC input connector 62 in the DC power module 60, the voltage conversion module 64 in the DC power module 60, the second DC output connector 61 in the DC power module 60, the first DC output connector 144 in the PSU3 slot 14, the copper bar 30, and the DC device 40 in turn. Through the current path 1, the DC power module 60 can supply power to at least one DC device 40 through the copper bar 30.

[0043] It should be noted that, since the PSU inserted into the PSU slot 14 is the DC power module 60, the DC power module 60 includes a second DC output connector 61, a second AC input connector 62, and a second control signal connector 63, which are connected with the corresponding first DC output connector 144, the first AC input connector 143, and the first control signal connector 142 in the PSU slot 14 respectively. In this case, the DC power module 60 supplies power to the DC device 40, so as to realize the selection of the DC power module 60 to supply power to the DC device 40 through the PSU slot 14.

[0044] For example, Figure 4 As shown in Figure 4 is a structural schematic diagram of an AC power module 70 provided by the embodiment of the present application. The AC power module 70 includes a third AC input connector 71, a third AC output connector 72, a third control signal connector 73, and a voltage pass-through module 74. The voltage pass-through module 74 is connected with the third AC input connector 71, the third AC output connector 72, and the control signal connector 73 respectively. The third AC input connector 71 (as an input end of the AC power module 70) is connected with the access module 12 through the first AC input connector 143 of the PSU slot 14, and the third AC input connector 71 is used to receive the first AC voltage output by the access module 12 through the first AC input connector 143 of the PSU slot 14. The voltage pass-through module 74 is used to process the first AC voltage to obtain a second AC voltage, for example, to turn on or turn off. The third AC output connector 72 (as an output end of the AC power module 70) is connected with the first AC output connector 141 of the PSU slot 14, and the third AC output connector 72 is used to output the second AC voltage to the AC device 50 through the first AC output connector 141 of the PSU slot 14, the AC cable connector 11, and the power cable 20. The third control signal connector 73 is connected with the control module through the first control signal connector 142 of the PSU slot 14, and the third control signal connector 73 is used to receive the control signal output by the control module through the first control signal connector 142 of the PSU slot 14. Optionally, the voltage pass-through module 74 is a control switch, which is used to control or adjust the output second AC voltage.

[0045] The third AC input connector 71, the third AC output connector 72 and the third control signal connector 73 in the AC power module 70 are located on the same side of the AC power module 70, corresponding to the PSU slot 14, so that the AC power module 70 can be inserted into the PSU slot 14 to establish a connection with the PSU slot 14. The third AC input connector 71 in the AC power module 70 corresponds to the first AC input connector 143 in the PSU slot 14, the third AC output connector 72 in the AC power module 70 corresponds to the first AC output connector 141 in the PSU slot 14, and the third control signal connector 73 in the AC power module 70 corresponds to the first control signal connector 142 in the PSU slot 14. When the AC power module 70 is inserted into the PSU slot 14, the third AC input connector 71 in the AC power module 70 is connected with the first AC input connector 143 in the PSU slot 14, the third AC output connector 72 is connected with the first AC output connector 141, and the third control signal connector 73 is connected with the first control signal connector 142.

[0046] When the AC power module 70 is inserted into any one of the PSU slots (for example, the PSU8 slot) in the power supply module 10, the third AC input connector 71 in the AC power module 70 is connected with the first AC input connector 143 in the PSU8 slot, so that the input end of the AC power module 70 is connected with the access module 12 and receives the first AC voltage output by the access module 12. The third AC output connector 72 in the AC power module 70 is connected with the first AC output connector 141 in the PSU8 slot, so that the output end of the AC power module 70 is connected with the AC cable connector 11 and connected to at least one AC device 50 through the AC cable connector 11, and the second AC voltage is output to at least one AC device 50. The third control signal connector 73 in the AC power module 70 is connected with the first control signal connector 142 in the PSU8 slot, so that the AC power module 70 can be connected to the control module in the PSU8 slot to receive control or adjustment from the control module. Through the above connection, the following current path 2 is formed:

[0047] The current passes through the access module 12, the first AC input connector 143 in the PSU8 slot, the third AC input connector 71 in the AC power module 70, the voltage pass-through module 74 in the AC power module 70, the third AC output connector 72 in the AC power module 70, the first AC output connector 141 in the PSU8 slot, the AC cable connector 11, the power cord 20 and the AC device 50 in turn. Through the current path 2, at least one AC device 50 is powered.

[0048] It should be noted that, since the PSU inserted into the PSU slot 14 is the AC power module 70, the AC power module 70 includes a third AC input connector 71, a third AC output connector 72, and a third control signal connector 73, which are connected to the corresponding first AC input connector 143, first AC output connector 141, and first control signal connector 142 in the PSU slot 14, respectively. In this case, the AC power module 70 supplies power to the at least one AC device 50, so as to realize that the AC power module 70 is selected by the PSU slot 14 to supply power to the AC device 50.

[0049] Optionally, the power module 10 can further include a control module (not shown), and the first control signal connector 142 in the PSU slot 14 can be connected to the control module. The control module can be a microcontroller unit (MCU), a programmable logic device, or a logic circuit.

[0050] When the DC power module 60 is inserted into the PSU slot 14, the first control signal connector 142 in the PSU slot 14 is connected to the second control signal connector 63 in the DC power module 60, so as to establish the connection between the DC power module 60 and the control module in the power module 10. Alternatively, when the AC power module 70 is inserted into the PSU slot 14, the first control signal connector 142 in the PSU slot 14 is connected to the third control signal connector 73 in the AC power module 70, so as to establish the connection between the AC power module 70 and the control module in the power module 10.

[0051] In an embodiment, the control module is configured to send a first signal when the DC power module 60 is inserted into the PSU slot 14, the first signal being used to prompt the user that the PSU inserted into the PSU slot 14 is the DC power module 60. When the AC power module 70 is inserted into the PSU slot 14, a second signal is sent, the second signal being used to prompt the user that the PSU inserted into the PSU slot 14 is the AC power module 70.

[0052] In another embodiment, the control module is configured to receive an input control instruction, and control the DC power module 60 or the AC power module 70 to work based on the control instruction. For example, the control instruction is used to control the DC power module 60 or the AC power module 70 to start working or stop working. Alternatively, the control instruction is used to adjust the first DC voltage output by the DC power module 60, or adjust the second AC voltage output by the AC power module 70.

[0053] In another embodiment, the control module is configured to monitor the operation state of the DC power module 60 or the AC power module 70, and send an alarm when the DC power module 60 or the AC power module 70 is operating abnormally. Alternatively, the control module can also be configured to detect the current or power consumption of the DC power module 60 or the AC power module 70.

[0054] In the above embodiment, the AC power module 70 is connected to the AC cable connector 11 in the power module 10, the AC cable connector 11 is connected to the power cable 20, and the AC device 50 is powered. In this embodiment, the AC power module 70A is directly connected to the power cable 20A, and the AC device 50A is powered. Details are described below.

[0055] As shown in Figure 5 , Figure 5 is another schematic diagram of the cabinet server 100A provided by the embodiments of the present application. The cabinet server 100A includes a power module 10A, a power cable 20A, a copper bar 30A, at least one DC device 40A, at least one AC device 50A, a DC power module 60A, and an AC power module 70A.

[0056] The power module 10A includes an access module 12A and a power backboard 13A. The power module 10A also includes a plurality of PSU slots 14A (such as N PSU slots), and each PSU slot 14A can be inserted into a PSU, which can be a DC power module 60A or an AC power module 70A. The access module 12A and the plurality of PSU slots 14A are located on the power backboard 13A. Unlike the power module 10 shown in Figure 4 , the power module 10A does not include an AC cable connector.

[0057] The access module 12A is configured to input a three-phase AC voltage (for example, a 380V AC voltage) from outside the cabinet server 100A, and output a single-phase first AC voltage to the DC power module 60A and / or the AC power module 70A.

[0058] When the DC power module 60A is inserted into one of the PSU slots 14A of the power module 10A, the input end of the DC power module 60A is connected to the access module 12A, the output end of the DC power module 60A is connected to the copper bar 30A, and the copper bar 30A is connected to the at least one DC device 40A. The DC power module 60A is configured to receive the first AC voltage output by the access module 12A, convert the first AC voltage into a first DC voltage, and output the first DC voltage to the at least one DC device 40A through the copper bar 30A. The connection mode of the DC power module 60A in this embodiment is the same as that of the DC power module 60 in the above embodiment, which will not be described here.

[0059] When AC power module 70A is inserted into a PSU slot 14A of power module 10A, the input of AC power module 70A is connected to access module 12A, while the output of AC power module 70A is directly connected to power cord 20A, which is then connected to an AC device 50A. AC power module 70A receives a first AC voltage output by access module 12A and outputs a second AC voltage to AC device 40A. The connection method of AC power module 70A in this embodiment differs from that of AC power module 70 in the aforementioned embodiment.

[0060] like Figure 6 As shown, Figure 6 1 is a schematic diagram of the structure of a power supply module 10A provided in an embodiment of the present application. The power supply module 10A includes multiple PSU slots 14A, each PSU slot 14A includes a first control signal connector 142A, a first AC input connector 143A and a first DC output connector 144A. Figure 4 The power module 10 shown differs in that the power module 10A does not include a first AC output connector.

[0061] The first control signal connector 142A, the first AC input connector 143A, and the first DC output connector 144A in the PSU slot 14A are configured to connect the first control signal connector 142A, the first AC input connector 143A, and the first DC output connector 144A to the DC power module 60 when the DC power module 60A is inserted into the PSU slot 14A. Alternatively, when the AC power module 70A is inserted into the PSU slot 14A, the first control signal connector 142A and the first AC input connector 143A are connected to the AC power module 70A.

[0062] The DC power module 60A in this embodiment is connected in the same manner as the DC power module 60 in the above-described embodiment, and its structure is also identical to that of the DC power module 60. Therefore, this embodiment will not further describe the DC power module 60A. The AC power module 70A in this embodiment is connected in a different manner than the AC power module 70 in the above-described embodiment, and its structure is also different from that of the AC power module 70. The following primarily describes the structure of the AC power module 70A.

[0063] like Figure 7 As shown, Figure 7is a structural schematic diagram of an AC power module 70A provided by an embodiment of the present application. The AC power module 70A includes a third AC input connector 71A, a third AC output connector 72A, a third control signal connector 73A, and a voltage pass-through module 74A. The voltage pass-through module 74A is connected to the third AC input connector 71A, the third AC output connector 72A, and the third control signal connector 73A, respectively. The third AC input connector 71A (as an input end of the AC power module 70) is connected to the access module 12A through the first AC input connector 143A of the PSU slot 14A, and is configured to receive a first AC voltage output by the access module 12A through the first AC input connector 143A of the PSU slot 14A. The voltage pass-through module 74A is configured to process the first AC voltage to obtain a second AC voltage, for example, turn on or turn off. The third AC output connector 72A (as an output end of the AC power module 70) is directly connected to the power cord 20A, and is configured to output the second AC voltage to the AC device 50A through the power cord 20A. The third control signal connector 73A is connected to the control module through the first control signal connector 142A of the PSU slot 14A, and is configured to receive a control signal output by the control module through the first control signal connector 142A of the PSU slot 14.

[0064] The third AC input connector 71A and the third control signal connector 73A in the AC power module 70A are located on the same side of the AC power module 70A, corresponding to the PSU slot 14A. The position of the third AC input connector 71A in the AC power module 70A corresponds to the position of the first AC input connector 143A in the PSU slot 14A, and the position of the third control signal connector 73A in the AC power module 70A corresponds to the position of the first control signal connector 142A in the PSU slot 14A. When the AC power module 70A is inserted into the PSU slot 14A, the third AC input connector 71A of the AC power module 70A is connected to the first AC input connector 143A in the PSU slot 14A, and the third control signal connector 73A is connected to the first control signal connector 142A. In addition, the third AC output connector 72A in the AC power module 70A is located on the other side of the AC power module 70A, for example, the outermost side of the AC power module 70A. So that the third AC output connector 72A in the AC power module 70A is directly connected to the power cord 20A.

[0065] When the AC power module 70A is inserted into a certain PSU slot (for example, the PSU8 slot) in the power module 10A, the third AC input connector 71A in the AC power module 70A is connected with the first AC input connector 143A in the PSU8 slot, so that the input end of the AC power module 70A is connected with the access module 12A and receives the first AC voltage output by the access module 12A. The third control signal connector 73A in the AC power module 70A is connected with the first control signal connector 142A in the PSU8 slot, so that the AC power module 70A is connected to the control module in the PSU8 slot and receives the control signal output by the control module. In addition, the third AC output connector 72A in the AC power module 70A is connected with the power cord 20A, so that the output end of the AC power module 70A is connected to the at least one AC device 50A through the power cord 20A and outputs the second AC voltage to the at least one AC device 50A. Through the above connection, the following current path 3 is formed:

[0066] The current passes through the access module 12A, the first AC input connector 143A in the PSU8 slot, the third AC input connector 71A in the AC power module 70A, the voltage pass-through module 74A in the AC power module 70A, the third AC output connector 72A in the AC power module 70A, the power cord 20A and the AC device 50A in turn. Through the current path 3, the AC device 50A is powered.

[0067] It should be noted that since the PSU inserted into the PSU8 slot is the AC power module 70A, the AC power module 70A includes the third AC input connector 71A and the third control signal connector 73A, which are connected with the first AC input connector 143A and the first control signal connector 142A in the PSU8 slot, respectively. In this case, the AC power module 70A powers the AC device 50A. Thus, the AC power module 70A is selected through the PSU slot 14A to power the AC device 50A.

[0068] The structures and functions of other parts in the embodiment are the same as those in the previous embodiment, and the structures and functions of other parts in the embodiment can be referred to the description in the previous embodiment, which will not be repeated here.

[0069] Based on Figure 1 The cabinet server 100 provided or Figure 5 The cabinet server 100A shown, Figure 8A schematic diagram of a power supply mode of a cabinet server is provided. The cabinet server can include a power supply module and a plurality of PSUs. For example, the PSUs can include PSU1, PSU2, PSU3, PSU4, PSU5 and PSU6, and the power supply module includes a plurality of PSU slots and an access module (not shown). Each of the PSU slots can be inserted with a PSU. PSU1, PSU5 and PSU6 are AC power supply modules, and PSU2, PSU3 and PSU4 are DC power supply modules.

[0070] The access module receives AC 3-phase 380V voltage output by the power supply A or the power supply B and divides the AC 3-phase 380V voltage into a plurality of (for example, 3) single-phase 220V AC voltages. When the DC power supply modules (PSU2, PSU3 and PSU4) are inserted into the PSU slots, the input ends of PSU2, PSU3 and PSU4 are connected to the access module, and the output ends of PSU2, PSU3 and PSU4 are connected to DC 48V devices through copper bars. The access module outputs the received 220V AC voltage to the copper bars, and the voltage conversion modules in PSU2, PSU3 and PSU4 convert the 220V AC voltage into 48V DC voltage and output the 48V DC voltage to the copper bars. The copper bars collectively supply power to the DC 48V devices in the cabinet server. When the AC power supply modules (PSU1, PSU5 and PSU6) are inserted into the PSU slots, the input ends of PSU1, PSU5 and PSU6 are connected to the access module, and the output ends of PSU1, PSU5 and PSU6 are connected to AC 220V devices. PSU1, PSU5 and PSU6 receive the 220V AC voltage output by the access module, and the voltage pass-through modules in PSU1, PSU5 and PSU6 control the provision of the 220V AC voltage to the AC 220V devices.

[0071] In this process, for each of the PSU slots, either a DC power supply module or an AC power supply module can be inserted, and 48V DC voltage can be collectively supplied or 220V AC voltage can be individually supplied, so that the cabinet server can be compatible with the supply of power to 48V DC devices and 220V AC devices. In addition, a corresponding number of DC power supply modules can be selected and inserted into the PSU slots according to the number of 48V DC devices, and a corresponding number of AC power supply modules can be selected and inserted into the PSU slots according to the number of 220V AC devices.

[0072] In summary, the cabinet server supports the supply of power to DC devices and AC devices by being compatible with different PSUs (DC power supply modules or AC power supply modules), enhances the versatility of the devices in the cabinet server, increases the effective utilization rate of the space of the cabinet server, reduces the deployment cost of the cabinet server, and improves the flexible adaptability of the cabinet server.

Any person skilled in the art can easily think of the changes or replacements within the technical range disclosed by the present application, which should be covered in the protection scope of the present application. Therefore, the protection scope of the present application should be subject to the protection scope of the claims.
