Description

Technical Field

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

[0002] Among the rack-mounted server sizes, the most common ones are 1U servers, 2U servers, and 4U servers. U is a unit that represents the external dimensions of a server, and is an abbreviation for unit. The size of the server is specified so that the server can be placed on the rack in a certain size. The specified dimensions of the server are the width (48.26cm = 19 inches) and height (multiples of 4.445cm) of the server, and the thickness (height) is based on 4.445cm as the basic unit. The dimensions of these servers are: 1U = 4.445 cm, 2U = 4.445*2 = 8.89 cm, 4U = 4.445*4 = 17.78 cm. In actual use, 1U or 2U servers are the most commonly used. Because service providers calculate the cost based on the space occupied by the server, using a 1U server is the most space-saving and cheapest, but the scalability of a 1U server is not as good as that of a 2U server.

[0003] Currently, traditional servers are usually composed of a standard ATX motherboard, power supply, hard disk backplane, expansion card and chassis, etc., and then connected through a variety of power cables, high-speed signal cables, and low-speed signal cables, which makes the assembly complicated.

[0004] When assembling existing servers, the internal hardware usually has only one fixed installation position, and the corresponding motherboard also has only one set of fixed external functional interfaces, which can only meet the user's installation position requirements. Nowadays, users' requirements for server functional interfaces are changing more and more, and changes in functional interfaces will lead to changes in the motherboard, which in turn requires redesign.

[0005] In this era of diversified electronic product technology, the layout design of network security servers has become quite mature. However, the existing layout design of network security servers is not flexible enough. If customers put forward new functional requirements, the layout design needs to be redesigned, which is time-consuming and costly. Summary of the invention

[0006] Therefore, the object of the present invention is to provide a network security server layout in which changes in functional interfaces will not cause changes in the mainboard.

[0007] To achieve the above-mentioned purpose, the present invention provides a network security server layout, including: a chassis, a motherboard without an external interface, a hard disk and a power supply arranged in the chassis, a front panel, a system fan and a grounding column arranged on the chassis shell; the mainboard is a core board, and the mainboard is provided with an ATX power supply interface, four 8X PCIE interfaces, and a 16XPCIE interface; the power supply is connected to the ATX power supply interface; the four 8X PCIE interfaces are respectively matched with a first expansion board, a second expansion board, a third expansion board and an interface board, and the functional interface of the network security server is changed according to customer needs by selecting the functional interface of the first expansion board, the second expansion board, the third expansion board and the interface board; the 16X PCIE interface is connected to the fourth expansion board.

[0008] Wherein, the power supply is a non-pluggable ATX power supply.

[0009] Wherein, the power supply is a hot-pluggable redundant power supply, and the hot-pluggable redundant power supply is connected to the ATX power supply interface via a power conversion card.

[0010] At least one of the first expansion board, the second expansion board and the third expansion board is connected to the 8X PCIE interface via an adapter board.

[0011] Wherein, the type of the fourth expansion board is an encryption board, a graphics card or a SAS card.

[0012] Wherein, the first expansion plate, the second expansion plate and the third expansion plate are arranged on the front side or the rear side of the chassis.

[0013] Wherein, the interface board is arranged on the same side of the first expansion board, the second expansion board and the third expansion board in the chassis.

[0014] Wherein, the system fan is arranged on the rear side or the side side of the chassis shell.

[0015] Among them, the CPU fan of the network security server sets the blowing direction according to the layout of the system fan.

[0016] Wherein, the network security server is a 1U or 2U server.

[0017] In summary, the network security server layout of the present invention will not cause changes to the mainboard when the functional interface is changed; and the power supply selection is not restricted; and the modular design is adopted, which can be changed quickly and flexibly to meet new configuration requirements.
