Description

Technical Field

[0001] This application relates to the technical field of servers, and particularly to a server. Background Art

[0002] With the continuous development of the AI market, high-performance AI servers are increasingly favored. To ensure heat dissipation performance and a relatively small overall size of the server, multiple PCIE expansion cards, memory cards, CPU (Central Processing Unit) components, GPU (Graphics Processing Unit) components, etc. are usually installed inside the server, and a radiator is used to dissipate heat from the server to prevent the server from overheating.

[0003] However, the height of the server in the above related technologies is relatively high, resulting in the server occupying a large amount of height space in the computer room and affecting the layout of the server in the computer room. Summary of the Invention

[0004] This application provides a server to at least solve the problem that the relatively high height of the server in the related technologies causes the server to occupy a large amount of height space in the computer room and affects the layout of the server in the computer room.

[0005] This application provides a server, which includes:

[0006] A chassis having an accommodation cavity inside, and a first window and a second window that are opposite and communicate with the accommodation cavity along a first direction; the first direction is the same as the extension direction of the front and rear windows of the chassis;

[0007] A first computing module disposed on one side of the chassis close to the first window. Along a second direction, a concave portion is formed on the side of the first computing module facing the top of the chassis, and the second direction is the height direction of the chassis;

[0008] A second computing module disposed inside the chassis and installed in the concave portion, and the second computing module is used to assist the first computing module in processing computing tasks.

[0009] Through this application, since a concave portion is formed on one side of the first computing module facing the top of the chassis, and the second computing module is installed in the concave portion of the first computing module, a nested architecture design of the computing modules is achieved, so that the first computing module and the second computing module are arranged in a staggered manner in the second direction, and spatial reuse of the first computing module in the height direction of the chassis is realized, rather than the form of being arranged at intervals in the second direction in the prior art. In this way, the total height of the combined structure of the first computing module and the second computing module in the second direction is significantly reduced compared with the prior art, making the internal structure of the server more compact, reducing the space occupied by the first computing module and the second computing module in the second direction inside the chassis, helping to reduce the height of the chassis, and further reducing the height of the server. For example, the height of the server is reduced to 5U. Therefore, the technical problem in the related art that the height of the server is relatively high, resulting in the server occupying a large height space in the computer room and affecting the layout of the server in the computer room can be solved, achieving the technical effect of reducing the height of the server, reducing the space occupied by the server, and helping to rationally arrange the server in the computer room.

[0066] Next, the technical solutions in the embodiments of the present application will be clearly and completely described in conjunction with the accompanying drawings in the embodiments of the present application. Obviously, the described embodiments are only a part of the embodiments of the present application, rather than all the embodiments. Based on the embodiments in the present application, all other embodiments obtained by those of ordinary skill in the art without creative efforts belong to the protection scope of the present application.

[0067] It should be noted that the orientation or positional relationship indicated by terms such as "center", "longitudinal", "lateral", "length", "width", "thickness", "upper", "lower", "front", "rear", "left", "right", "vertical", "horizontal", "top", "bottom", "inner", "outer", "clockwise", "counterclockwise", "axial", "radial", "circumferential", etc. is based on the orientation or positional relationship shown in the drawings. It is only for the convenience of describing the present application and simplifying the description, rather than indicating or implying that the device or element referred to must have a specific orientation, be constructed and operated in a specific orientation. Therefore, it should not be construed as a limitation to the present application. The terms "mounted", "connected", "coupled" should be understood in a broad sense. For example, it can be a fixed connection, a detachable connection, or an integral connection; it can be a mechanical connection or an electrical connection; it can be directly connected or indirectly connected through an intermediate medium, and it can be the communication inside two elements. The terms "parallel", "perpendicular", "equal" include the described situations and situations similar to the described situations, and the range of the similar situations is within the acceptable deviation range, where the acceptable deviation range is determined by those of ordinary skill in the art considering the measurements being discussed and the errors associated with the measurements of specific quantities (i.e., the limitations of the measurement system). For example, "parallel" includes absolute parallel and approximate parallel, where the acceptable deviation range of approximate parallel can be, for example, within 5° deviation; "perpendicular" includes absolute perpendicular and approximate perpendicular, where the acceptable deviation range of approximate perpendicular can also be, for example, within 5° deviation. "Equal" includes absolute equality and approximate equality, where the acceptable deviation range of approximate equality can be, for example, that the difference between the two equal ones is less than or equal to 5% of either one. For those of ordinary skill in the art, the specific meanings of the above terms in the present application can be understood according to specific situations.

[0068] In order to enable those skilled in the art of the present technology to better understand the solution of the present application, the present application will be further described in detail below with reference to the drawings and specific embodiments.

[0069] As described in the background art, the height of the server in the related art is relatively high, resulting in the server occupying a relatively large height space in the computer room and affecting the layout of the server in the computer room. The reason for this problem is that the CPU component and the GPU component in the related art are stacked in the height direction of the chassis, and the height of the chassis is affected by the sum of the height of the CPU component and the height of the GPU component. The larger the sum of the two heights, the higher the required height of the chassis, resulting in a relatively high height of the server and thus the server occupying a relatively large height space in the computer room.

[0070] Reference Figure 1 、 Figure 2 、 Figure 3 and Figure 4, embodiments of the present application provide a server, which may include a chassis 100, a first computing module 200, and a second computing module 300.

[0071] Inside the chassis 100, there may be a receiving cavity 110, and a first window 120 and a second window 130 that are opposite and communicate with the receiving cavity 110 along a first direction (such as Figure 2 the X direction in the figure). The first direction is consistent with the extending direction of the front and rear windows of the chassis 100.

[0072] It can be understood that the inside of the chassis 100 has a receiving cavity 110, and a first window 120 and a second window 130 that are opposite and communicate with the receiving cavity 110 along a first direction means that the chassis 100 has an installation channel that penetrates through the front and rear. Specifically, it can be realized by a metal frame cooperating with a detachable panel. The first window 120 is used to install the computing module, and the second window 130 is used to connect the heat dissipation device and the power module, which is convenient for modular maintenance and air flow circulation. Specifically, the first window 120 is the front window facing the front of the chassis 100, and the second window 130 is the rear window facing the rear of the chassis 100.

[0073] The first computing module 200 is disposed on one side of the chassis 100 close to the first window 120. Along a second direction (such as Figure 2 the Z direction in the figure), a concave portion 210 is formed on the side of the first computing module 200 facing the top of the chassis 100. The second direction is the height direction of the chassis 100. The first computing module 200 can be disposed in the receiving cavity 110 of the chassis 100 through the first window 120.

[0074] It can be understood that the first computing module 200 can adopt a stepped layout design to form the concave portion 210. For example, by making the components in the first computing module 200 adopt a staggered layout in the second direction to form a stepped structure, and at the same time form a concave portion, the vertical space is saved by using the height difference to provide an installation position for the second computing module 300.

[0075] The second computing module 300 is disposed in the chassis 100 and installed in the concave portion 210 to realize the nested design of the second computing module 300 and the first computing module 200, and realize the reuse of the space in the receiving cavity 110 occupied by the first computing module 200 in the height direction. The second computing module 300 is used to assist the first computing module 200 in processing computing tasks. The second computing module 300 can be disposed in the receiving cavity 110 of the chassis 100 through the first window 120.

[0076] In specific implementation, the second computing module 300 can be first installed in the concave portion 210 of the first computing module 200, and then the combined structure of the first computing module 200 and the second computing module 300 can be installed in the accommodation cavity 110 through the first window 120 of the chassis 100.

[0077] In some embodiments, the second computing module 300 can be directly placed in the concave portion 210 so that the first computing module 200 can carry and support the second computing module 300.

[0078] Alternatively, the second computing module 300 and the first computing module 200 can also be assembled in a detachable connection manner, which can improve the connection stability between the first computing module 200 and the second computing module 300, can prevent the combination of the first computing module 200 and the second computing module 300 from shaking during the installation in the accommodation cavity 110, improve the assembly efficiency of the first computing module 200, the second computing module 300 and the chassis 100, or can prevent the second computing module 300 from shaking relative to the first computing module 200 in the chassis 100, and improve the structural stability of the server.

[0079] In some embodiments, in the second direction, the second computing module 300 can be completely located in the concave portion 210 of the first computing module 200. For example, the surface of the second computing module 300 facing the top of the chassis 100 does not protrude from the opening 211 of the concave portion 210 facing the top of the chassis 100. In this case, the second computing module 300 will not affect the height of the chassis 100.

[0080] Alternatively, in the second direction, the concave portion 210 can accommodate a part of the second computing module 300, and a part of the second computing module 300 is located in the concave portion 210. In this way, only the part of the second computing module 300 that protrudes from the concave portion 210 will affect the height of the chassis 100, and will also reduce the total height of the second computing module 300 and the second computing module 300 to a certain extent.

[0081] An embodiment of the present application provides a server. The server forms a concave portion 210 on one side of the first computing module 200 facing the top of the chassis 100, and installs the second computing module 300 in the concave portion 210 of the first computing module 200, realizing a nested architecture design of the computing modules, so that the first computing module 200 and the second computing module 300 are arranged in a staggered manner in the second direction, and realizing spatial reuse of the first computing module 200 in the height direction of the chassis 100, rather than the form of being arranged at intervals in the second direction in the prior art. In this way, the total height of the combined structure of the first computing module 200 and the second computing module 300 in the second direction is significantly reduced compared with the prior art, making the internal structure of the server more compact, reducing the space occupied by the first computing module 200 and the second computing module 300 in the second direction inside the chassis 100, helping to reduce the height of the chassis 100, and further reducing the height of the server. For example, the height of the server is reduced to 5U, where U can be inches, and 5U can be understood as 5 inches.

[0082] Therefore, it is possible to solve the technical problem that the height of the server in the related art is relatively high, resulting in the server occupying a large height space in the computer room and affecting the layout of the server in the computer room, and achieve the technical effect of reducing the height of the server, reducing the space occupied by the server, and helping to reasonably layout the server in the computer room.

[0083] Reference Figure 3 , in some embodiments, the first computing module 200 may be a CPU (Central Processing Unit) computing module, and the second computing module 300 may be a GPU (Graphics Processing Unit) computing module.

[0084] In a high-performance AI server, the CPU computing module is responsible for general computing tasks, while the GPU computing module focuses on deep learning and large-scale parallel computing tasks.

[0085] Reference Figure 3 , in some embodiments, along the second direction, the concave portion 210 has an opening 211 facing the top of the chassis 100, and the second computing module 300 does not protrude from the opening 211 of the concave portion 210.

[0086] Among them, the opening 211 may refer to the top open area formed by the concave portion 210 in the height direction. Not protruding may mean that the second computing module 300 is completely accommodated inside the concave portion 210 in the height direction, which can be specifically achieved by controlling the installation height of the second computing module 300 to be flush with or lower than the plane of the opening 211, for example, by using a mounting structure that fits the inner wall of the concave portion 210.

[0087] Through the above technical solution, by making the second computing module 300 not protrude from the opening 211 of the concave portion 210, it is possible to avoid the second computing module 300 increasing the space in the height direction of the chassis 100. Furthermore, it is possible to design the height of the chassis 100 only based on the height of the first computing module 200, thereby reducing the height of the chassis 100 and being able to reduce the height of the server.

[0088] Reference Figure 3 , in some embodiments, the server may further include a first handle 160, and the first handle 160 is disposed on the outer sidewall of the chassis 100.

[0089] If the chassis 100 includes a first sidewall and a second sidewall that are opposite to each other in the third direction, then a plurality of first handles 160 can be respectively disposed on the first sidewall and the second sidewall.

[0090] By disposing the first handle 160 on the outer sidewall of the chassis 100, a convenient grasping point is provided for the operator. Through the first handle 160, the operator can carry or move the server more easily. The handling convenience of the server is improved, and the physical consumption of the operator is reduced. At the same time, the design of the first handle 160 also makes the server more stable during handling, reducing the risk of damage caused by improper handling.

[0091] Reference Figure 4 , Figure 5 , Figure 6 , Figure 7 and Figure 8 , in some embodiments, the first computing module 200 may include an expansion unit 220, a first storage unit 230, and a first computing unit 240.

[0092] The expansion unit 220 can be disposed closer to the bottom of the chassis 100 relative to the top of the chassis 100, and the expansion unit 220 can play a certain supporting role.

[0093] The expansion unit 220 may refer to a component for providing computing expansion capabilities. For example, it can be implemented by using a plurality of expansion cards 221 arranged in the third direction (such as Figure 5 the Y direction in

[0094] In the second direction, the first storage unit 230 is disposed on one side of the expansion unit 220 facing the top of the chassis 100, and the expansion unit 220 can be used to support the first storage unit 230. The first storage unit 230 may refer to a module for data storage, and specifically, it can be implemented by adopting a structure including multiple storage components. The storage components are, for example, hard disks or solid-state drives. The first storage unit 230 is arranged above the expansion unit 220 in the height direction, making full use of the vertical space and avoiding interference with the expansion unit 220.

[0095] In the first direction, the first computing unit 240 is disposed on one side of the first storage unit 230 facing the second window 130, and the second computing module 300 is disposed on one side of the first computing unit 240 facing the top of the chassis 100.

[0096] The first computing unit 240 may refer to a component that performs core computing tasks. Specifically, it can be implemented by adopting a mainboard structure equipped with a processor. The processor can be a CPU, and the processor can perform thermal management through a liquid cooling unit.

[0097] In the second direction, the surface of the first computing unit 240 facing the top of the chassis 100 is lower than the surface of the first storage unit 230 facing the top of the chassis 100, so that the expansion unit 220, the first storage unit 230, and the first computing unit 240 jointly enclose a concave portion 210. The first computing unit 240 is arranged behind the first storage unit 230 in the front-back direction, forming a stepped structure, so that the top of the first computing unit 240 is lower than the top of the first storage unit 230, thereby jointly forming the concave portion 210 with the expansion unit 220. The first computing unit 240 can be used to support the second computing module 300, and the expansion unit 220 and the first storage unit 230 can protect and limit one side of the second computing module 300 facing the first window 120, avoiding displacement of the second computing module 300 relative to the first computing module 200 in the second direction, and improving the connection stability between the components inside the chassis 100.

[0098] Through the above technical solutions, the structure of the first computing module 200 is further refined. Through the height difference formed by the layout of the expansion unit 220, the first storage unit 230, and the first computing unit 240, the concave portion 210 is naturally formed while ensuring that the height of the chassis 100 is relatively low, without the need to additionally install a support structure, which not only simplifies the assembly process but also ensures the structural strength.

[0099] This hierarchical structure makes the internal functional partitioning of the first computing module 200 clear. The expansion unit 220, the first storage unit 230, and the first computing unit 240 each undertake different functions and cooperate with each other. The existence of the concave portion 210 provides an installation space for the second computing module 300, further optimizing the space utilization efficiency, making the internal structure of the chassis 100 more compact, and enabling the various structures to work together to improve the overall performance.

[0100] Reference Figure 5 and Figure 7 , in some embodiments, the expansion unit 220 may include a plurality of expansion cards 221 arranged along a third direction, and the third direction is perpendicular to the first direction and the second direction. The third direction may be the width direction of the chassis 100. The width direction of the chassis 100 is perpendicular to the front-back direction and the height direction of the chassis 100, and the width direction is perpendicular to the height direction of the chassis 100. Specifically, it may be defined by an axis perpendicular to the front-back and height directions of the chassis 100.

[0101] In some embodiments, the expansion card 221 provides additional functional support for the server by increasing the number of interfaces or processing capabilities, such as data transmission or signal processing. The expansion can be specifically implemented using full-height PCIE cards. The number of full-height PCIE (Peripheral Component Interconnect Express) cards may be 12, and the 12 full-height PCIE cards are arranged along the width direction of the chassis 100 to enhance the computing and expansion capabilities of the server.

[0102] The expansion unit 220 horizontally arranges a plurality of expansion cards 221 along the third direction to form a stable support structure for the first computing unit 240 inside the chassis 100.

[0103] The first computing module 200 may further include a second storage unit 250. The second storage unit 250 is disposed below the first storage unit 230 and is located between two adjacent expansion cards 221.

[0104] The second storage unit 250 refers to an additional storage module located below the first storage unit 230. Specifically, it may be implemented using a structure including a plurality of storage components, and the storage components are, for example, hard disks or solid-state drives. On the basis of ensuring the expansion ability of the server, the second storage unit 250 can be further disposed between two expansion cards 221 to increase the storage capacity and optimize the space utilization rate.

[0105] Through the above technical solution, a second storage unit 250 is provided between the expansion cards 221, making full use of the space and further increasing the storage capacity. This design improves the storage capacity of the server without increasing additional space, meets the increasing storage requirements of high-performance servers, and maintains the compactness of the overall structure.

[0106] Referring Figure 5 and Figure 7 , in some embodiments, the first computing module 200 may further include a first housing 260. The first housing 260 has a first cavity inside, and the first cavity is used to accommodate the expansion unit 220, the first storage unit 230, the first computing unit 240, and the second storage unit 250.

[0107] The first housing 260 can be designed along the outer contours of the expansion unit 220, the first storage unit 230, and the first computing unit 240 to ensure that a concave portion 210 can be formed at the corresponding position of the first computing unit 240. For example, the first housing 260 can be in a stepped shape to ensure that the concave portion 210 can be formed.

[0108] The first housing 260 may refer to a support structure that encloses the internal components of the first computing module 200. Specifically, it can be implemented by combining a metal frame and a panel. Its function is to provide physical protection for the internal components and form a modular unit. The modular structure facilitates the overall pulling and maintenance. The first cavity refers to the enclosed space formed inside the first housing 260, which can be specifically achieved by partitioning areas with partitions. It is used to centrally accommodate the expansion unit 220, the first storage unit 230, and the first computing unit 240, reducing the installation complexity caused by the scattered layout of components.

[0109] Through the above technical solution, by providing the first housing 260, the expansion unit 220, the first storage unit 230, the first computing unit 240, and the second storage unit 250 are integrated in one cavity, realizing a modular design. This design facilitates assembly and maintenance, improves production efficiency, and enhances the structural stability. The modular design makes the connection between each unit more reliable, reduces the risk of failure caused by external interference, and improves the reliability of the server.

[0110] In addition, the first housing 260 can also support the second computing module 300, avoiding damage caused by the first computing unit 240 directly bearing pressure, and improving the protection performance of components such as the first computing unit 240.

[0111] In some embodiments, a second handle 261 may also be provided on the first shell 260. The second handle 261 is provided on the side of the first shell 260 facing the first window to provide a force point, so that the user can drive the first computing module 200 to be inserted and installed into the accommodating cavity 110 of the chassis 100 through the second handle 261.

[0112] refer to Figure 7 and Figure 9 In some embodiments, the first storage unit 230 may include a second housing 231 , a plurality of first storage members 233 , a first connection member 234 , and a second connection member 235 .

[0113] The second housing 231 has a second cavity 232 inside.
