[0058] The box body 1 may include a bottom plate 10, a top plate (not shown) and side plates 11, wherein a receiving space 2 is formed between the bottom plate, the top plate and the side plates;

[0059] The first partition 3;

[0060] An adjustable partition 4, wherein the first partition 3 and the adjustable partition 4 divide the accommodating space 2 in the box body 1 into a first area 20 and a second area 21, a power module 50 is arranged at the rear side of the first area 20, a switching module 51 is arranged at the front side of the first area 20, a central backplane 6 is arranged in the middle of the second area 21, a fan module 52 is arranged at the rear side of the central backplane 6, and a data module 53 is arranged at the front side of the central backplane 6. The switching module 51 can be a switching node in the server 100, and the data module 53 can be a storage node or a computing node in the server 100 for data storage and calculation. The power module 50, the switching module 51, the fan module 52 and the data module 53 can be electrically connected to the central backplane 6 respectively, and an external power supply is connected to the power module 50 and supplies power to the switching module 51, the fan module 52 and the data module 53 through the central backplane 6. The switching module 51 and the data module 53 can also realize data interaction through the connection between the cable and the data interface and the connection between the connectors;

[0061] When the adjustable partition 4 is in a flat state, the first area 20 and the second area 21 are connected, and when the adjustable partition 4 is in an upright state, the first area 20 and the second area 21 are separated.

[0062] In order to clearly show, Figure 2 The adjustable partition 4 in is removed.

[0063] In the embodiments of the present specification, in the above-mentioned server, the box body is divided into a first area and a second area by an adjustable partition and a first partition. The adjustable partition can be bent to adjust the connectivity between the second area and the first area, so that when more functional modules need to be set up, the first area and the second area can be separated, and when there are fewer functional modules, a more effective heat dissipation channel is provided between the first area and the second area, so that functional changes in the server can be quickly implemented, thereby improving the flexibility of functional changes in the server.

[0064] Optionally, the adjustable partition 4, such as Figure 3 As shown, including:

[0065] The plate body 40 may be integrally formed or may be formed by splitting an upper plate body and a lower plate body;

[0066] The first rotating shaft 41 is disposed at the bottom of the plate body 40 and is rotatably connected to the bottom plate 10 of the box body 1 .

[0067] Through the rotational connection of the first rotating shaft 41, the adjustable partition 4 can be placed in a horizontal state and an upright state in the accommodating space 2, wherein the adjustable partition 4 in the horizontal state is at least partially parallel to the bottom plate 10, and the adjustable partition 4 in the upright state is perpendicular to the bottom plate 10.

[0068] When the first area 20 and the second area 21 need to be connected, the adjustable partition 4 is placed in a flat state, and the heat generated by the switching module 51 can be collected in the second area 21 and quickly discharged by the fan module 52. When the user uses the server, if it is confirmed that the heat dissipation on one side of the switching module 51 in the server is insufficient, the adjustable partition 4 can be adjusted to a flat state if the space in the second area 21 allows, to open up a larger heat dissipation space for the switching module 51, making the spatial deployment of the server more flexible.

[0069] Optional, such as Figure 3 , 4 As shown, a first slideway 30 is provided on the first partition plate 3, and the first slideway 30 can cooperate with the process of pushing the data module 53 into the server 100, so that the data module 53 can be more reliably supported in the box body 1;

[0071] The second slideway 42 corresponds to the position of the first slideway 30 .

[0072] When the data module 53 is pushed into the box 1, it is first supported by the first slide 30 on the first partition 3. The data module 53 is continuously pushed into the box 1, and the front end of the data module 53 can be transitioned to the second slide 42 of the adjustable partition 4 for support. Finally, the data module 53 can be connected to the connector on the center backplane 6 under the support of the first slide 30 and the second slide 42, so as to realize a reliable connection between the data module 53 and the center backplane 6.

For example, if the server is 4U (where U represents a height unit), the upper plate body 40A and the lower plate body 40B can be separated at the 2U position, so that the upper plate body 40A and the lower plate body 40B are separated into two 2U sizes, or can be segmented at the 1U position, so that the upper plate body 40A and the lower plate body 40B are separated into a 1U and a 3U size. It can be set according to actual needs, and there is no limitation on this;

[0076] The adjustable partition 4 further comprises:

[0077] The second rotating shaft 43 rotatably connects the upper plate body 40A and the lower plate body 40B.

[0078] The upper plate 40A and the lower plate 40B can rotate relative to each other through the second rotating shaft 43, so that the size of the connection between the first area 20 and the second area 21 can be set, so as to more flexibly adjust the position of the adjustable partition according to the number of functional modules deployed. Figure 5 In (A), when the adjustable partition 4 is in an upright state, the positional relationship between the upper plate body 40A and the lower plate body 40B is, Figure 5 (B) shows the positional relationship between the upper plate 40A and the lower plate 40B when the adjustable partition 4 is in a flat state.

[0079] A limiting platform 48 may also be provided on the adjustable partition 4 to limit the position where the lower plate 40B can be bent, so as to prevent it from bending too much and hindering the insertion of the data module 53 into the middle backplane 6 .

[0090] Of course, the connection between the power module 50 and the central backplane 6 can also be achieved in other ways, such as through cables, etc. At this time, a certain gap can also be left between the adjustable partition 4 and the power module 50 for the deployment of cables, which can be set according to actual needs and is not limited to this.
