Those skilled in the art can understand the specific meaning of the above terms in this invention based on the specific circumstances.

[0030] The following is combined with Figures 1-8 The present invention describes a hard disk tray and a server.

[0031] like Figure 1 As shown, in an embodiment of the present invention, the hard disk tray includes: a tray frame 100, a pair of support arms, and multiple adjustment components. The tray frame 100 is provided with an air inlet, the area of ​​which is greater than half the surface area of ​​the tray frame 100. The two support arms are arranged in parallel and perpendicular to and connected to the tray frame 100. At least one support arm is provided with multiple first through holes 1021 along its length. Each first through hole 1021 is provided with multiple adjustment components. Each adjustment component includes: multiple baffles 10 and an adjustment cover plate 20. The multiple baffles 10 are disposed at the first through holes 1021. Each baffle 10 is rotatably connected to the support arm. The adjustment cover plate 20 is slidably connected to the support arm and covers the outside of the baffles 10. The adjustment cover plate 20 is provided with an air outlet 21. When the adjustment cover plate 20 slides along the support arm, the adjustment cover plate 20 can drive the baffles 10 to rotate, so that the space between the air outlet 21 and the pair of support arms is connected or disconnected.

[0032] Specifically, the frame 100 of the hard drive tray is equipped with an air inlet, and the opening area of ​​the air inlet is as large as possible to increase the air volume and improve the heat dissipation effect inside the hard drive tray. Furthermore, a first through hole 1021 is provided on one or two support arms, and multiple adjustment components are provided at the position of the first through hole 1021. Each adjustment component includes multiple baffles 10 and an adjustment cover plate 20. The multiple baffles 10 are sequentially arranged at the first through hole 1021. Under the drive of the adjustment cover plate 20, the multiple baffles 10 can rotate. At this time, the multiple baffles 10 are arranged in parallel. When the first end of each baffle 10 moves away from the adjustment cover plate 20, the gap between two adjacent baffles 10 forms an air duct. This air duct is connected to the air outlet 21, thereby dissipating the heat in the hard disk tray. When the first end of each baffle 10 moves towards the adjustment cover plate 20, the gap between two adjacent baffles 10 still forms an air duct, but the air outlet 21 is blocked by the first end of the baffle 10, so that the air duct is not connected to the air outlet 21, thereby reducing the noise generated by the airflow.

[0033] Specifically, when the adjusting cover 20 slides along the support arm, the baffle 10 has two states. When the fan speed is high and the noise is too loud, the adjusting cover 20 can be pushed to slide along the support arm. When the adjusting cover 20 slides, it drives the baffle 10 to rotate. At this time, the baffle 10 is in the first state. At this time, the first end of the baffle 10 abuts against the adjusting cover 20, thereby blocking the air outlet on the adjusting cover 20, so that the space between the air outlet 21 and the pair of support arms is disconnected, thereby closing the airflow path and reducing the noise impact at this time.

[0034] When the heat dissipation of the hard drive in the hard drive tray is poor, the adjustment cover 20 is pushed to continue sliding relative to the baffle 10. When the adjustment cover 20 slides, it drives the baffle 10 to rotate, thereby tilting the baffle 10 relative to the adjustment cover 20. At this time, the baffle 10 is in the second state, with the first end of the baffle 10 moving away from the adjustment cover 20 and the second end of the baffle 10 abutting against the adjustment cover 20. This connects the air outlet 21 on the adjustment cover 20 with the space between the pair of support arms, which can increase the air intake area and remove the heat generated by the hard drive from the side of the hard drive tray, thereby improving the heat dissipation effect and reducing the fan speed, which can reduce the impact of noise.

[0035] Furthermore, according to the above description, in this embodiment, when the baffle 10 is in the first state and the second state, its rotation direction is opposite.

[0036] The hard drive bracket provided in this embodiment of the invention increases the air intake volume and improves the heat dissipation effect of the hard drive by increasing the opening area of ​​the air inlet. At the same time, by setting a first through hole in the support arm and setting an adjustment component at the first through hole, the space between a pair of support arms can be connected with the air outlet on the adjustment cover, which increases the airflow suction area and improves the heat dissipation effect of the hard drive. In addition, it can also reduce the fan speed and thus reduce the fan noise.

[0037] like Figure 2 and Figure 3 As shown, in an embodiment of the present invention, each baffle 10 has a first adjusting member 11 on its surface facing the adjusting cover plate 20, and the adjusting cover plate 20 has multiple pairs of second adjusting members 23 and third adjusting members 24 on its surface facing the baffle 10, wherein the number of second adjusting members 23 and third adjusting members 24 matches the number of first adjusting members 11. When the second adjusting member 23 abuts against the first adjusting member 11, the first end of the baffle 10 abuts against the adjusting cover plate 20, thereby closing the communication between the air outlet 21 and the pair of support arms. When the third adjusting member 24 abuts against the first adjusting member 11, the first end of the baffle 10 moves away from the adjusting cover plate 20, thereby opening the communication between the air outlet 21 and the pair of support arms.

[0038] Specifically, the baffle 10 has protrusions 12 at both ends. For example... Figure 7 As shown, the support arm has a first through hole 1021, and two opposite surfaces of the support arm have a second through hole 1022 and a third through hole 1023, respectively. The second through hole 1022 communicates with the first through hole 1021, and the third through hole 1023 also communicates with the first through hole 1021. Specifically, in this embodiment, the second through hole 1022 is a circular hole, and the protrusion 12 of the baffle 10 is inserted into the second through hole 1022 and can rotate within the second through hole 1022 to cause the baffle 10 to rotate. The surface of the baffle 10 facing the adjusting cover plate 20 has a first adjusting member 11.

[0039] In this embodiment, the third through hole 1023 is a rectangular hole. The adjusting cover plate 20 includes a body 201 and a pair of protruding edges 202. The pair of protruding edges 202 are arranged in parallel and perpendicularly on both sides of the body 201. The opposing surfaces of the two protruding edges 202 are respectively provided with a third protrusion. The third protrusion is inserted into the third through hole 1023 and can slide along the third through hole 1023, thereby allowing the adjusting cover plate 20 to slide along the support arm. The surface of the adjusting cover plate 20 facing the baffle 10 is provided with multiple pairs of second adjusting members 23 and third adjusting members 24. Each pair of second adjusting members 23 and third adjusting members 24 is correspondingly arranged with and cooperates with a first adjusting member 11 on a baffle 10 to drive the baffle 10 to rotate. Further, an air outlet 21 is provided between two adjacent pairs of second adjusting members 23 and third adjusting members 24.

[0040] Pushing the adjustment cover 20 causes the second adjustment member 23 and the third adjustment member 24 to move together. At this time, each second adjustment member 23 abuts against a first adjustment member 11, causing the first end of each baffle 10 to move towards the adjustment cover 20. After each baffle 10 rotates, multiple baffles 10 are arranged in parallel, and an air duct is formed between two adjacent baffles 10. At this time, the first end of the baffle 10 blocks the air outlet 21. The air duct cannot connect with the air outlet 21, so that the hot air in the hard disk tray cannot be discharged from the air outlet 21, thereby reducing the noise generated by the airflow. Continue pushing the adjustment cover 20, the adjustment cover 20 drives the second adjustment member 23 and the third adjustment member 24 to continue moving. At this time, the third adjustment member 24 abuts against the first adjustment member 11, and the first end of the baffle 10 moves away from the adjustment cover 20. The multiple baffles 10 are still arranged in parallel, and an air duct is still formed between two adjacent baffles 10. The air duct is connected to the air outlet 21, so that the space between the air outlet 21 and a pair of support arms is connected, so that the hot air in the hard disk tray can be discharged from the air outlet 21.

[0041] Furthermore, the adjusting cover plate 20 is also provided with an extension 22, which is connected to the main body 201. The extension 22 is provided with two fourth through holes. After the adjusting cover plate 20 slides into place along the support arm, the adjusting cover plate 20 and the support arm can be fixed through the fourth through holes, thereby fixing the baffle 10 in the first state or the second state.

[0042] like Figure 5 and Figure 6 As shown, in an embodiment of the present invention, the first adjusting member 11 includes a first adjusting portion, a second adjusting portion, and a third adjusting portion connected in sequence. The first adjusting portion and the third adjusting portion are respectively located at both ends of the second adjusting portion, and the distance between the first adjusting portion and the third adjusting portion gradually increases in the direction away from the second adjusting portion. When the second adjusting member 23 abuts against the first adjusting portion, the first end of the baffle 10 abuts against the adjusting cover plate 20. When the third adjusting member 24 abuts against the third adjusting portion, the first end of the baffle 10 moves away from the adjusting cover plate 20.

[0043] Specifically, in this embodiment, the first and third adjustment parts form an expansion port structure, and the second and third adjustment parts 23 and 24 are located within this expansion port structure. When the adjustment cover 20 slides along the support arm, the second adjustment part 23 abuts against the first adjustment part, thereby causing the first end of the baffle 10 to abut against the adjustment cover 20. The first end of the baffle 10 blocks the air outlet 21, and the second end of the baffle 10 moves away from the adjustment cover 20. At this time, the air outlet 21 is disconnected from the space inside the pair of support arms, and the heat generated by the hard drive cannot be discharged from the air outlet 21. When the adjustment cover 20 continues to slide along the support arm, the third adjustment part 24 abuts against the third adjustment part, thereby causing the second end of the baffle 10 to approach the adjustment cover 20, and the first end of the baffle 10 to move away from the adjustment cover 20. At this time, the first end of the baffle 10 is connected to the space between the pair of support arms, and the heat generated by the hard drive can be discharged from the air outlet 21.

[0044] like Figure 4 As shown, in an embodiment of the present invention, the second adjusting member 23 is provided with a first guiding surface, and the third adjusting member 24 is provided with a second guiding surface, the first guiding surface and the second guiding surface being opposite to each other. When the first guiding surface abuts against the first adjusting part, the first end of the baffle 10 abuts against the adjusting cover plate 20; when the second guiding surface abuts against the third adjusting part, the first end of the baffle 10 moves away from the adjusting cover plate 20.

[0045] Specifically, the second adjusting member 23 has a first inclined surface 231 and a second inclined surface 232. The angle between the first inclined surface 231 and the horizontal plane is smaller than the angle between the second inclined surface 232 and the horizontal plane. The first inclined surface 231 serves as a first guide surface. The third adjusting member 24 has a third inclined surface 241 and a fourth inclined surface 242. The angle between the third inclined surface 241 and the horizontal plane is smaller than the angle between the fourth inclined surface 242 and the horizontal plane. The third inclined surface 241 serves as a second guide surface.

[0046] Specifically, such as Figure 5 and Figure 6 As shown, during the sliding process of the adjusting cover 20, the first inclined surface 231 first abuts against the first adjusting part of the first adjusting member 11, lifting the first adjusting part. The first adjusting part drives the second end of the baffle 10 to move away from the adjusting cover 20, and the third adjusting part drives the first end of the baffle 10 to move closer to the adjusting cover 20, thereby blocking the air outlet 21. Continuing to push the adjusting cover 20 to slide, the third inclined surface 241 of the third adjusting member 24 abuts against the third adjusting part, lifting the third adjusting part. The third adjusting part drives the first end of the baffle 10 to move away from the adjusting cover 20, and the first adjusting part drives the second end of the baffle 10 to move closer to the adjusting cover 20. At this time, the space between the air outlet 21 and the pair of support arms is connected.

[0047] like Figure 8 As shown, in an embodiment of the present invention, the hard disk tray further includes a waveguide mesh structure 30, the two ends of which are respectively engaged with a pair of support arms.

[0048] Specifically, in existing technologies, to prevent electromagnetic wave leakage, the waveguide mesh structure 30 is typically fixedly connected to the bracket frame 100, resulting in a small opening size for the air inlet on the bracket frame 100. In this embodiment, the waveguide mesh structure 30 is connected to the bracket frame 100 via a snap-fit ​​connection, facilitating the replacement of the waveguide mesh structure 30 and increasing the opening size of the air inlet on the bracket frame 100. In this embodiment, the waveguide mesh structure 30 includes a waveguide frame and a waveguide mesh. The waveguide mesh is disposed within the waveguide frame, and the waveguide frame is detachably connected to the bracket frame 100 for easy replacement of the waveguide mesh structure 30. Furthermore, the shape of the waveguide frame combined with the waveguide mesh effectively rectifies the absorbed airflow. The benefit of rectification is that it prevents turbulence from forming in front of the hard drive, thus avoiding increased noise and air vibration that could affect the hard drive behind the waveguide mesh.

[0049] Further, in an embodiment of the present invention, the support arm includes a first support arm 101 and a second support arm 102. The first support arm 101 is provided with a first groove, and the second support arm is provided with a second groove, wherein the width of the first groove is greater than the width of the second groove. The waveguide mesh structure 30 has a first protrusion 31 and a second protrusion 32 at both ends, respectively. The width of the first protrusion 31 is equal to the width of the first groove, and the width of the second protrusion 32 is equal to the width of the second groove. The first protrusion 31 is inserted into the first groove, and the second protrusion 32 is inserted into the second groove.

[0050] Specifically, during the installation of the waveguide mesh structure 30, in order to prevent the waveguide mesh structure 30 from being installed backwards, a first protrusion 31 and a second protrusion 32 are respectively provided at both ends of the waveguide mesh structure 30. The width of the first protrusion 31 is greater than the width of the second protrusion 32, so that the first protrusion 31 can only be inserted into the first groove and the second protrusion 32 can only be inserted into the second groove.

[0051] Furthermore, magnetic components can be provided on the side of the waveguide mesh structure 30 to facilitate the positioning of the waveguide mesh structure 30.

[0052] Furthermore, to reduce the noise generated by vibration, the first protrusion 31 and the second protrusion 32 can be made of flexible material to buffer and isolate vibration.

[0053] Furthermore, the end of the first protrusion 31 is also provided with a fourth protrusion, which is perpendicular to the first protrusion 31. The end of the second protrusion 32 is also provided with a fifth protrusion, which is perpendicular to the second protrusion 32. After the first protrusion 31 is inserted into the first groove, the fourth protrusion can engage with the first support arm 101. After the second protrusion 32 is inserted into the second groove, the fifth protrusion can engage with the second support arm 102, so as to prevent the waveguide mesh structure 30 from separating from the bracket frame 100 during vibration.

[0054] This invention also provides a server, including a hard disk tray.

[0055] Specifically, the hard drive bracket includes: a bracket frame 100, a pair of support arms, and multiple adjustment components. The bracket frame 100 has an air inlet, the area of ​​which is greater than half the surface area of ​​the bracket frame 100. The two support arms are arranged in parallel and perpendicular to the bracket frame 100 and connected to it. At least one support arm has multiple first through holes 1021 along its length. Each first through hole 1021 has multiple adjustment components. Each adjustment component includes: multiple baffles 10 and an adjustment cover 20. The multiple baffles 10 are disposed at the first through holes 1021. Each baffle 10 is rotatably connected to the support arm. The adjustment cover 20 is slidably connected to the support arm and covers the outside of the baffles 10. The adjustment cover 20 has an air outlet 21. When the adjustment cover 20 slides along the support arm, the adjustment cover 20 can drive the baffles 10 to rotate, so that the space between the air outlet 21 and the pair of support arms is connected or disconnected.

[0056] Specifically, the frame 100 of the hard drive tray is equipped with an air inlet, and the opening area of ​​the air inlet is as large as possible to increase the air volume and improve the heat dissipation effect inside the hard drive tray. Furthermore, a first through hole 1021 is provided on one or two support arms, and multiple adjustment components are provided at the position of the first through hole 1021. Each adjustment component includes multiple baffles 10 and an adjustment cover plate 20. The multiple baffles 10 are sequentially arranged at the first through hole 1021. Under the drive of the adjustment cover plate 20, the multiple baffles 10 can rotate. At this time, the multiple baffles 10 are arranged in parallel. When the first end of each baffle 10 moves away from the adjustment cover plate 20, the gap between two adjacent baffles 10 forms an air duct. This air duct is connected to the air outlet 21, thereby dissipating the heat in the hard disk tray. When the first end of each baffle 10 moves towards the adjustment cover plate 20, the gap between two adjacent baffles 10 still forms an air duct, but the air outlet 21 is blocked by the first end of the baffle 10, so that the air duct is not connected to the air outlet 21, thereby reducing the noise generated by the airflow.

[0057] Specifically, when the adjusting cover 20 slides along the support arm, the baffle 10 has two states. When the fan speed is high and the noise is too loud, the adjusting cover 20 can be pushed to slide along the support arm. When the adjusting cover 20 slides, it drives the baffle 10 to rotate. At this time, the baffle 10 is in the first state. At this time, the first end of the baffle 10 abuts against the adjusting cover 20, thereby blocking the air outlet on the adjusting cover 20, so that the space between the air outlet 21 and the pair of support arms is disconnected, thereby closing the airflow path and reducing the noise impact at this time.

[0058] When the heat dissipation of the hard drive in the hard drive tray is poor, the adjustment cover 20 is pushed to continue sliding relative to the baffle 10. When the adjustment cover 20 slides, it drives the baffle 10 to rotate, thereby tilting the baffle 10 relative to the adjustment cover 20. At this time, the baffle 10 is in the second state, with the first end of the baffle 10 moving away from the adjustment cover 20 and the second end of the baffle 10 abutting against the adjustment cover 20. This connects the air outlet 21 on the adjustment cover 20 with the space between the pair of support arms, which can increase the air intake area and remove the heat generated by the hard drive from the side of the hard drive tray, thereby improving the heat dissipation effect and reducing the fan speed, which can reduce the impact of noise.

[0059] Furthermore, according to the above description, in this embodiment, when the baffle 10 is in the first state and the second state, its rotation direction is opposite.

[0060] like Figure 2 and Figure 3 As shown, in an embodiment of the present invention, each baffle 10 has a first adjusting member 11 on its surface facing the adjusting cover plate 20, and the adjusting cover plate 20 has multiple pairs of second adjusting members 23 and third adjusting members 24 on its surface facing the baffle 10, wherein the number of second adjusting members 23 and third adjusting members 24 matches the number of first adjusting members 11. When the second adjusting member 23 abuts against the first adjusting member 11, the first end of the baffle 10 abuts against the adjusting cover plate 20, thereby closing the communication between the air outlet 21 and the pair of support arms. When the third adjusting member 24 abuts against the first adjusting member 11, the first end of the baffle 10 moves away from the adjusting cover plate 20, thereby opening the communication between the air outlet 21 and the pair of support arms.

[0061] Specifically, the baffle 10 has protrusions 12 at both ends. For example... Figure 7 As shown, the support arm has a first through hole 1021, and two opposite surfaces of the support arm have a second through hole 1022 and a third through hole 1023, respectively. The second through hole 1022 communicates with the first through hole 1021, and the third through hole 1023 also communicates with the first through hole 1021. Specifically, in this embodiment, the second through hole 1022 is a circular hole, and the protrusion 12 of the baffle 10 is inserted into the second through hole 1022 and can rotate within the second through hole 1022 to cause the baffle 10 to rotate. The surface of the baffle 10 facing the adjusting cover plate 20 has a first adjusting member 11.

[0062] In this embodiment, the third through hole 1023 is a rectangular hole. The adjusting cover plate 20 includes a body 201 and a pair of protruding edges 202. The pair of protruding edges 202 are arranged in parallel and perpendicularly on both sides of the body 201. The opposing surfaces of the two protruding edges 202 are respectively provided with a third protrusion. The third protrusion is inserted into the third through hole 1023 and can slide along the third through hole 1023, thereby allowing the adjusting cover plate 20 to slide along the support arm. The surface of the adjusting cover plate 20 facing the baffle 10 is provided with multiple pairs of second adjusting members 23 and third adjusting members 24. Each pair of second adjusting members 23 and third adjusting members 24 is correspondingly arranged with and cooperates with a first adjusting member 11 on a baffle 10 to drive the baffle 10 to rotate. Further, an air outlet 21 is provided between two adjacent pairs of second adjusting members 23 and third adjusting members 24.

[0063] Pushing the adjustment cover 20 causes the second adjustment member 23 and the third adjustment member 24 to move together. At this time, each second adjustment member 23 abuts against a first adjustment member 11, causing the first end of each baffle 10 to move towards the adjustment cover 20. After each baffle 10 rotates, multiple baffles 10 are arranged in parallel, and an air duct is formed between two adjacent baffles 10. At this time, the first end of the baffle 10 blocks the air outlet 21. The air duct cannot connect with the air outlet 21, so that the hot air in the hard disk tray cannot be discharged from the air outlet 21, thereby reducing the noise generated by the airflow. Continue pushing the adjustment cover 20, the adjustment cover 20 drives the second adjustment member 23 and the third adjustment member 24 to continue moving. At this time, the third adjustment member 24 abuts against the first adjustment member 11, and the first end of the baffle 10 moves away from the adjustment cover 20. The multiple baffles 10 are still arranged in parallel, and an air duct is still formed between two adjacent baffles 10. The air duct is connected to the air outlet 21, so that the space between the air outlet 21 and a pair of support arms is connected, so that the hot air in the hard disk tray can be discharged from the air outlet 21.

[0064] Furthermore, the adjusting cover plate 20 is also provided with an extension 22, which is connected to the main body 201. The extension 22 is provided with two fourth through holes. After the adjusting cover plate 20 slides into place along the support arm, the adjusting cover plate 20 and the support arm can be fixed through the fourth through holes, thereby fixing the baffle 10 in the first state or the second state.

[0065] like Figure 5 and Figure 6As shown, in an embodiment of the present invention, the first adjusting member 11 includes a first adjusting portion, a second adjusting portion, and a third adjusting portion connected in sequence. The first adjusting portion and the third adjusting portion are respectively located at both ends of the second adjusting portion, and the distance between the first adjusting portion and the third adjusting portion gradually increases in the direction away from the second adjusting portion. When the second adjusting member 23 abuts against the first adjusting portion, the first end of the baffle 10 abuts against the adjusting cover plate 20. When the third adjusting member 24 abuts against the third adjusting portion, the first end of the baffle 10 moves away from the adjusting cover plate 20.

[0066] Specifically, in this embodiment, the first and third adjustment parts form an expansion port structure, and the second and third adjustment parts 23 and 24 are located within this expansion port structure. When the adjustment cover 20 slides along the support arm, the second adjustment part 23 abuts against the first adjustment part, thereby causing the first end of the baffle 10 to abut against the adjustment cover 20. The first end of the baffle 10 blocks the air outlet 21, and the second end of the baffle 10 moves away from the adjustment cover 20. At this time, the air outlet 21 is disconnected from the space inside the pair of support arms, and the heat generated by the hard drive cannot be discharged from the air outlet 21. When the adjustment cover 20 continues to slide along the support arm, the third adjustment part 24 abuts against the third adjustment part, thereby causing the second end of the baffle 10 to approach the adjustment cover 20, and the first end of the baffle 10 to move away from the adjustment cover 20. At this time, the first end of the baffle 10 is connected to the space between the pair of support arms, and the heat generated by the hard drive can be discharged from the air outlet 21.

[0067] like Figure 4 As shown, in an embodiment of the present invention, the second adjusting member 23 is provided with a first guiding surface, and the third adjusting member 24 is provided with a second guiding surface, the first guiding surface and the second guiding surface being opposite to each other. When the first guiding surface abuts against the first adjusting part, the first end of the baffle 10 abuts against the adjusting cover plate 20; when the second guiding surface abuts against the third adjusting part, the first end of the baffle 10 moves away from the adjusting cover plate 20.

[0068] Specifically, the second adjusting member 23 has a first inclined surface 231 and a second inclined surface 232. The angle between the first inclined surface 231 and the horizontal plane is smaller than the angle between the second inclined surface 232 and the horizontal plane. The first inclined surface 231 serves as a first guide surface. The third adjusting member 24 has a third inclined surface 241 and a fourth inclined surface 242. The angle between the third inclined surface 241 and the horizontal plane is smaller than the angle between the fourth inclined surface 242 and the horizontal plane. The third inclined surface 241 serves as a second guide surface.

[0069] Specifically, such as Figure 5 and Figure 6As shown, during the sliding process of the adjusting cover 20, the first inclined surface 231 first abuts against the first adjusting part of the first adjusting member 11, lifting the first adjusting part. The first adjusting part drives the second end of the baffle 10 to move away from the adjusting cover 20, and the third adjusting part drives the first end of the baffle 10 to move closer to the adjusting cover 20, thereby blocking the air outlet 21. Continuing to push the adjusting cover 20 to slide, the third inclined surface 241 of the third adjusting member 24 abuts against the third adjusting part, lifting the third adjusting part. The third adjusting part drives the first end of the baffle 10 to move away from the adjusting cover 20, and the first adjusting part drives the second end of the baffle 10 to move closer to the adjusting cover 20. At this time, the space between the air outlet 21 and the pair of support arms is connected.

[0070] The server provided in this embodiment of the invention increases the air intake and improves the heat dissipation of the hard drive by setting up hard drive trays. At the same time, it can also reduce the fan speed and thus reduce fan noise.

[0071] Finally, it should be noted that the above embodiments are only used to illustrate the technical solutions of the present invention, and not to limit them; although the present invention has been described in detail with reference to the foregoing embodiments, those skilled in the art should understand that modifications can still be made to the technical solutions described in the foregoing embodiments, or equivalent substitutions can be made to some of the technical features; and these modifications or substitutions do not cause the essence of the corresponding technical solutions to deviate from the spirit and scope of the technical solutions of the embodiments of the present invention.
