Description

Technical Field

[0001] This application relates to the field of electronic equipment technology, and more specifically to a server. Background Technology

[0002] Servers have various use cases, and depending on the intensity of computing and data processing, they can operate in low-power or high-power modes. The heat dissipation requirements differ between low-power and high-power modes, necessitating the use of different heat dissipation modules.

[0003] In related technologies, it is common to develop two types of servers to meet the usage scenarios of low power consumption mode and high power consumption mode respectively. This is costly, and a single server cannot simultaneously meet the needs of multiple usage scenarios and low cost. Summary of the Invention

[0004] In view of the above problems, this application provides a server to solve the problem that existing servers fail to take into account multiple use cases and low cost.

[0005] This application provides a server, including a chassis, in which a storage module and a computing module are arranged sequentially along the height direction, and the computing module includes a base;

[0006] The base is detachably equipped with a first heat dissipation component or a second heat dissipation component. The first heat dissipation component includes a first radiator; the second heat dissipation component includes a second radiator and an air guide shroud.

[0007] If the base is equipped with the first heat dissipation component, the server further includes a first cover plate and a first connecting component. The first cover plate covers the opening of the enclosure, and the first cover plate and the enclosure are detachably connected through the first connecting component.

[0008] If the base is equipped with the second heat dissipation component, the air guide shroud is disposed on the second heat sink, and the server further includes a second cover plate and a second connecting component. The second cover plate is disposed on the opening of the enclosure, and the second cover plate and the enclosure are detachably connected through the second connecting component. When the second cover plate is connected to the enclosure, it abuts against the air guide shroud.

[0009] The server provided in this application can be configured with at least one of a first heat dissipation component and a second heat dissipation component. With either the first heat dissipation component or the second heat dissipation component installed on the base, two types of servers that can meet the requirements of low power consumption and high power consumption can be assembled by replacing some structural components. This can meet the needs of various usage scenarios, including both low power consumption and high power consumption, while also helping to reduce costs. It can effectively balance low cost and multiple usage scenarios. Attached Figure Description

[0052] To enable those skilled in the art to better understand the present application, the present application will be further described in detail below with reference to the accompanying drawings and specific embodiments.

[0053] The following combination Figures 1A to 22 A server is described according to an embodiment of this application.

[0054] In embodiments of this application, the server may include a housing 10, such as... Figure 1A , Figure 1B , Figure 1C , Figure 8A , Figure 8B and Figure 8C As shown, a storage module 50 and a computing module 60 are sequentially arranged along the height direction inside the housing 10. The computing module 60 includes a base 61. A first heat dissipation assembly or a second heat dissipation assembly is detachably mounted on the base 61. The first heat dissipation assembly includes a first heat sink 31, and the second heat dissipation assembly includes a second heat sink 32 and an air guide shroud 33. Figure 3 As shown, if the base 61 is equipped with the first heat dissipation component, the server also includes a first cover plate 21 and a first connecting component. The first cover plate 21 covers the opening of the enclosure 10, and the first cover plate 21 and the enclosure 10 are detachably connected via the first connecting component. Figure 10 As shown, if the base 61 is equipped with a second heat dissipation component, and the air guide shroud 33 is disposed on the second heat sink 32, the server also includes a second cover plate 22 and a second connecting component. The second cover plate 22 covers the opening of the enclosure 10, and the second cover plate 22 and the enclosure 10 are detachably connected via the second connecting component. When the second cover plate 22 is connected to the enclosure 10, it abuts against the air guide shroud 33. Either the first cover plate 21 or the second cover plate 22 is used to cover the opening of the enclosure 10. Either the first heat sink 31 or the second heat sink 32 is detachably connected to the motherboard 62 on the base 61.

[0055] With the first heat sink 31 connected to the motherboard 62 on the base 61, the server operates in a low-power mode, and the first heat sink 31 can meet the heat dissipation requirements of the server in low-power mode. The first cover 21 can be installed over the opening of the chassis 10, and the first cover 21 and the chassis 10 can be connected via a first connecting component. Therefore, the server includes the chassis 10, the first heat sink 31, the first cover 21, and the first connecting component; this server is defined as the first server 100. Low-power mode refers to a usage scenario where the server is primarily used for data storage, with less data access, relatively slower processing speed, and low power consumption.

[0056] With the second heat sink 32 connected to the motherboard 62 on the base 61, the air guide shroud 33 covers the second heat sink 32. The server is used to operate in a high-power mode, and the second heat sink 32 and the air guide shroud 33 can meet the heat dissipation requirements of the server in the high-power mode. The second cover 22 can cover the opening of the enclosure 10. The second cover 22 and the enclosure 10 can be connected by the second connecting component. That is, the server includes the enclosure 10, the second heat sink 32, the air guide shroud 33, the second cover 22, and the second connecting component. This server is defined as the second server 200. The high-power mode refers to the usage scenario where the server stores data and frequently accesses data, with high computing power and high power consumption. The server in this application can be either the first server 100 or the second server 200.

[0057] like Figure 1A , Figure 1B , Figure 1C , Figure 1D , Figure 2 and Figure 3 As shown, the enclosure 10, the first heat sink 31, the first connecting component, the first cover plate 21, the storage module 50, and the computing module 60 can be assembled into a first type of server, which is described as a first server 100. Figure 8A , Figure 8B , Figure 8C , Figure 8D , Figure 9 and Figure 10 As shown, the enclosure 10, second heat sink 32, air duct 33, second connecting assembly, second cover plate 22, storage module 50, and computing module 60 can be assembled into a second type of server, which is described as a second server 200. It is understood that the server may also include a fan module 70, a power module 80, etc. The server has a length direction, a width direction, and a height direction. The height of the first server 100 and the second server 200 are different. For ease of description, the first cover plate 21 and the second cover plate 22 can be collectively referred to as cover plates, the first heat sink 31 and the second heat sink 32 can be collectively referred to as heat sinks, and the first heat dissipation assembly and the second heat dissipation assembly can be collectively referred to as heat dissipation assemblies. Along the length of the server, the server has a front window side and a rear window side, and the fan module 70, power module 80, etc., can be installed on the rear window side. The front window side of the first server 100 is shown below. Figure 1C As shown, the rear window side of the first server 100 is as follows: Figure 1D As shown. The front window of the second server 200 is as follows. Figure 8C As shown, the rear window side of the second server 200 is as follows Figure 8D As shown.

[0058] In some embodiments, the height of the storage module 50 can be 3U, the height of the computing module 60 can be 1U, and the height of the enclosure 10 can be 4U. The storage module 50 and the computing module 60 are sequentially arranged inside the enclosure 10 along its height direction. The first cover plate 21 has a smaller height. The server assembled from the first cover plate 21 and the enclosure 10 is the first server 100, which has a height of 4U and includes 4U servers. The second cover plate 22 has a height of 1U. The server assembled from the second cover plate 22 and the enclosure 10 is the second server 200, which has a height of 5U and includes 5U servers. 1U is 4.445 centimeters, and U is a common unit for server height. For ease of description, the first server 100 is described using a 4U server as an example, and the second server 200 is described using a 5U server as an example.

[0059] For application scenarios that frequently require operation in low-power mode, a 4U server can be assembled by replacing some structural components and heat dissipation components to meet the heat dissipation requirements in low-power mode. A 4U server has a low overall height and occupies little space. For application scenarios that frequently require operation in high-power mode, a 5U server can be assembled by replacing some structural components and heat dissipation components to meet the heat dissipation requirements in high-power mode.

[0060] In some embodiments, such as Figure 4A and Figure 4B As shown, the housing 10 includes a square housing, which may be approximately U-shaped. The housing 10 may include a base plate 11 and two side walls 12 disposed on one side of the base plate 11, with the two side walls 12 facing each other. The base plate 11 and the two side walls 12 enclose a receiving space, which includes a first receiving area and a second receiving area. The first receiving area is located below the second receiving area. The storage module 50 can be installed in the first receiving area, and the computing module 60 can be installed in the second receiving area. The storage module 50 can be installed in the first receiving area via a sliding connection.

[0061] like Figure 2 and Figure 3 As shown, the computing module 60 may include a base 61, a CPU, GPU, motherboard 62, HBA module, etc., mounted on the base 61. The base 61 may be approximately U-shaped and may include a base plate 611 and two side connecting plates disposed on one side of the base plate 611. The two side connecting plates are arranged opposite each other and can be respectively connected to the two side walls 12 of the housing 10. The motherboard 62 is mounted on the base plate 611, and the CPU, GPU, HBA module, etc. are mounted on the motherboard 62. The first heat sink 31 or the second heat sink 32 can be mounted on the motherboard 62 by screwing and is located in the position corresponding to the CPU. The mounting position of the first heat sink 31 is as follows. Figure 3 As shown, the installation position of the second heat sink 32 is as follows: Figure 10 As shown. The first heat sink 31 is used to meet the heat dissipation requirements under low power consumption mode operation, while the second heat sink 32 and the air guide shroud 33 are used to meet the heat dissipation requirements under high power consumption mode operation. The heat dissipation performance of the second heat sink 32 is higher than that of the first heat sink 31, and the overall height of the second heat sink 32 is greater than that of the first heat sink 31. Without changing the overall structure of the housing 10, the overall height of the second cover plate 22 is greater than that of the first cover plate 21 to meet the installation requirements.

[0062] The first heat sink 31 is detachably mounted on the motherboard 62 via a third fastener; the second heat sink 32 is detachably mounted on the motherboard 62 via a fourth fastener.

[0063] In some embodiments, the number of first heat sinks 31 can be two, with the two first heat sinks 31 spaced apart on the motherboard 62 along its width. The motherboard 62 has second mounting holes, and the first heat sinks 31 have first mounting holes. The number of first and second mounting holes is not specifically limited. During the installation of the first heat sink 31, after aligning the first and second mounting holes, a third fastener is screwed into the first and second mounting holes to connect the first heat sink 31 to the motherboard 62. The third fastener includes screws.

[0064] In some embodiments, the number of second heat sinks 32 can be two, with the two second heat sinks 32 spaced apart on the motherboard 62 along its width. The motherboard 62 has a fourth mounting hole, and the second heat sinks 32 have third mounting holes. The number of third and fourth mounting holes is not specifically limited. During the installation of the second heat sink 32, after aligning the third and fourth mounting holes, a fourth fastener is screwed into the third and fourth mounting holes to connect the second heat sink 32 to the motherboard 62. The fourth fastener includes screws.

[0065] When the first heatsink 31 is installed on the motherboard 62, the first cover plate 21 is assembled with the case 10; when the second heatsink 32 is installed on the motherboard 62, the second cover plate 22 is assembled with the case 10. For example... Figure 5 As shown, the first cover plate 21 may include a first top plate 211 and two first side plates 212 disposed on one side of the first top plate 211. The first side plates 212 may fit against the side wall 12 of the housing 10, and the first side plates 212 may fit against the outer wall surface of the side wall 12. Figure 11A and Figure 11B As shown, the second cover plate 22 may include a second top plate 221 and two second side plates 222 disposed on one side of the second top plate 221. The second side plates 222 may fit against the side wall 12 of the housing 10, and the second side plates 222 may fit against the outer wall surface of the side wall 12. When the second cover plate 22 is connected to the housing 10, the inner wall surface of the second cover plate 22 may abut against the surface of the air guide shroud 33 to ensure the stability of the air guide shroud 33 within the housing 10.

[0066] In some embodiments, the first cover plate 21 and the second cover plate 22 can be connected to the housing 10 by a locking connection. For example... Figure 6A and Figure 7A As shown, the first connecting assembly may include a first lock bracket 41 and a first lock seat 42. The first lock seat 42 and the first lock bracket 41 are lockably connected, and by rotating the first lock seat 42, they can switch between a locked state and an unlocked state. Figure 3 As shown, the first locking bracket 41 can be screwed onto the base plate 611, as... Figure 1A and Figure 1B As shown, the first lock seat 42 can be installed on the first top plate 211 of the first cover plate 21, and the first lock seat 42 and the first lock bracket 41 are disposed opposite to each other. The second connecting assembly may include a second lock bracket 43 and a second lock seat 44, the second lock seat 44 and the second lock bracket 43 being locked together, and by rotating the second lock seat 44, the two can switch between a locked state and an unlocked state. Figure 10 As shown, the second locking bracket 43 can be screwed onto the base plate 611, as... Figure 8A and Figure 8B As shown, the second lock seat 44 can be installed on the second top plate 221 of the second cover plate 22, and the second lock seat 44 and the second lock bracket 43 are arranged opposite to each other. The connection between the first cover plate 21 and the housing 10 or the connection between the second cover plate 22 and the housing 10 can be achieved by replacing the lock bracket on the base 61.

[0067] In some embodiments, the first cover plate 21 and the second cover plate 22 can be connected to the housing 10 by a snap-fit ​​connection. Female snap-fits can be provided on the two opposite side walls 12 of the housing 10. Male snap-fits can be provided on the two first side plates 212 of the first cover plate 21, referred to as the first male snap-fit. The first connecting assembly includes a first snap-fit ​​and a female snap-fit. Male snap-fits can be provided on the two second side plates 222 of the second cover plate 22, referred to as the second male snap-fit. The second connecting assembly includes a second male snap-fit ​​and a female snap-fit. After the first cover plate 21 is aligned with the housing 10, inserting the first male snap-fit ​​into the female snap-fit ​​achieves the connection between the first cover plate 21 and the housing 10. Applying external force to the first male snap-fit ​​allows it to separate from the female snap-fit, thereby separating the first cover plate 21 from the housing 10. After removing the first cover plate 21 and aligning the second cover plate 22 with the box body 10, insert the second male buckle into the female buckle to connect the second cover plate 22 with the box body 10. Apply external force to the second male buckle to separate it from the female buckle, thereby separating the second cover plate 22 from the box body 10.

[0068] In some embodiments, the first cover plate 21 and the second cover plate 22 can be connected to the housing 10 by screws. Mounting holes can be provided on the two opposite side walls 12 of the housing 10, referred to as the fifth mounting hole. Mounting holes can be provided on the two first side plates 212 of the first cover plate 21, referred to as the sixth mounting hole. Mounting holes can be provided on the two second side plates 222 of the second cover plate 22, referred to as the seventh mounting hole. The fifth, sixth, and seventh mounting holes can be threaded holes; or the sixth and seventh mounting holes can be through holes, and the fifth mounting hole can be a threaded hole. The first side plate 212 of the first cover plate 21 can fit against the outer side of the side wall 12 of the housing 10, aligning the sixth and fifth mounting holes. The first connecting assembly includes screws, which are screwed into the sixth and fifth mounting holes to connect the first cover plate 21 and the housing 10. The second side plate 222 of the second cover plate 22 can be attached to the outer side of the side wall 12 of the housing 10, aligning the seventh mounting hole and the fifth mounting hole. The second connecting assembly includes screws, which are screwed into the seventh mounting hole and the fifth mounting hole to achieve the connection between the second cover plate 22 and the housing 10.

[0069] The following example illustrates the process of replacing a low-power 4U server with a high-power 5U server. The first cover plate 21 is connected to the chassis 10 via a locking mechanism, and the second cover plate 22 is also connected to the chassis 10 via a locking mechanism.

[0070] The disassembly procedure for the 4U server is as follows. Figure 1B As shown, the first rotating part 422 of the first lock seat 42 is fastened, and the first rotating part 422 is rotated upward in a clockwise direction until it reaches its position. This releases the first lock seat 42 from the first lock bracket 41, allowing the first cover plate 21 to be removed from the housing 10. Figure 2 and Figure 3 As shown, then remove the fasteners on the first heat sink 31 and take out the first heat sink 31; remove the fasteners on the first locking bracket 41 and take out the first locking bracket 41. This completes the disassembly of the structural components required for the 4U server.

[0071] The installation procedure for the 5U server is as follows. Figure 9 and Figure 10 As shown, the second heat sink 32 can be installed onto the motherboard 62 using fasteners, the air guide shroud 33 can be installed at the location of the second heat sink 32, the second locking bracket 43 can be installed onto the base plate 611 using fasteners, and the second cover plate 22 can be placed above the housing 10. Figure 8B As shown, the second cover plate 22 is aligned with the housing 10. Then, the second rotating part 442 of the second lock seat 44 is rotated counterclockwise. After the rotation is completed, the second lock seat 44 and the second lock bracket 43 are locked, and the second cover plate 22 is locked with the housing 10, thus completing the assembly of the 5U server.

[0072] When you need to replace a high-power 5U server with a low-power 4U server, you can refer to the process of replacing a low-power 4U server with a high-power 5U server and simply reverse the steps.

[0073] The server is equipped with at least one of a first heat dissipation component and a second heat dissipation component. When the first heat dissipation component is installed on the base 61, the first cover plate 21 and the chassis 10 can be detachably connected via a first connecting component; when the second heat dissipation component is installed on the base 61, the second cover plate 22 and the chassis 10 can be detachably connected via a second connecting component. Replacing a 4U server with a 5U server or vice versa only requires replacing the heat dissipation component, cover plate, and connecting component, which can meet both low-power and high-power usage scenarios; in addition, it eliminates the need to manufacture two complete sets of servers, which helps reduce costs.

[0074] In the embodiments of this application, the server may be configured with at least one of a first heat dissipation component and a second heat dissipation component. When either the first heat dissipation component or the second heat dissipation component is installed on the base 61, two types of servers that can meet the requirements of low power consumption and high power consumption can be assembled by replacing some structural components. This can satisfy multiple usage scenarios of low power consumption and high power consumption, and at the same time help reduce costs, effectively balancing low cost and multiple usage scenarios.

[0075] In the embodiments of this application, such as Figure 6A , Figure 6B , Figure 6C and Figure 7A As shown, the first connecting assembly may include a first lock seat 42 and a first lock bracket 41. Figure 1A and Figure 1B As shown, the first lock seat 42 is rotatably mounted on the first cover plate 21, as... Figure 3 As shown, the first lock bracket 41 is detachably mounted on the base 61. The first lock bracket 41 may be equipped with a first limiting post 412. The first lock seat 42 and the first limiting post 412 can switch between a locked state and an unlocked state, so that the first cover plate 21 can be connected to or disconnected from the housing 10. Figure 8A , Figure 8B and Figure 10 As shown, the second connecting assembly may include a second lock seat 44 and a second lock bracket 43. The second lock seat 44 is rotatably disposed on the second cover plate 22, and the second lock bracket 43 is detachably disposed on the base 61. The second lock bracket 43 is provided with a second limiting post 432. The second lock seat 44 and the second limiting post 432 can switch between a locked state and an unlocked state so that the second cover plate 22 can be connected to or disconnected from the housing 10.

[0076] In some embodiments, such as Figure 4A and Figure 4B As shown, the two opposite side walls 12 of the housing 10 may be provided with sliding grooves 101, which communicate with the top surface of the housing 10. The sliding grooves 101 have a first position 102 near the groove opening 1011 and a second position 103 away from the groove opening 1011. The first cover plate 21 may include a first top plate 211 and a plurality of first side plates 212 provided on one side of the first top plate 211. At least one of the plurality of first side plates 212 is provided with a first sliding part 213. The first sliding part 213 can slide along the sliding groove 101 to the first position 102 or the second position 103 under the force applied by the first locking seat 42.

[0078] In some embodiments, such as Figure 5 As shown, two first side plates 212 opposite to each other on the first cover plate 21 may have protruding first sliding portions 213. The first sliding portions 213 can slide in the slide groove 101 towards the front window side or towards the rear window side. The first sliding portion 213 can be a columnar body, and the first sliding portion 213 may include a rivet. For example... Figure 13A As shown, the first sliding part 213 slides to the first position 102, and the first cover plate 21 can be separated from the box body 10; as Figure 13B As shown, the first sliding part 213 slides to the second position 103, and the first cover plate 21 is connected to the box body 10, that is, the first cover plate 21 is locked to the box body 10. The first sliding part 213 can be a columnar body.

[0079] In some embodiments, such as Figure 11A and Figure 11BAs shown, two opposing second side plates 222 of the second cover plate 22 may have protruding second sliding portions 223. These second sliding portions 223 can slide in the slide groove 101 towards the front window side or towards the rear window side. The second sliding portion 223 can be a columnar body, and may include a rivet. For example... Figure 14A As shown, the second sliding part 223 slides to the first position 102, and the second cover plate 22 can be separated from the box body 10; as Figure 14B As shown, the second sliding part 223 slides to the second position 103, and the second cover plate 22 is connected to the box body 10, that is, the second cover plate 22 is locked to the box body 10.

[0080] like Figure 6A , Figure 6B and Figure 6C As shown, the first lock seat 42 may include a first fixing part 421, a first rotating part 422, and a first moving part 423. The first lock seat 42 is mounted on the first top plate 211 via the first fixing part 421. The first fixing part 421 has space to accommodate the first rotating part 422 and the first moving part 423. The first rotating part 422 is capable of rotating relative to the first fixing part 421. The first moving part 423 is connected to the first rotating part 422 and moves linearly with the rotation of the first rotating part 422. The first fixing part 421 is provided with a first guide hole 4211, which is an elongated hole. The first moving part 423 is provided with a first through hole 4231, and the first guide hole 4211 communicates with the first through hole 4231.

The top of the first locking bracket 41 is provided with a first limiting post 412, and the diameter of the first through hole 4231 is adapted to the diameter of the first limiting post 412.

[0081] The process of installing and removing the first cover plate 21 and the housing 10 via the first connecting assembly is as follows. The installation process is as follows: the first sliding part 213 on the first cover plate 21 is placed at the first position 102 in the sliding groove 101 on the housing 10, and the first limiting post 412 passes sequentially through the first guide hole 4211 and the first through hole 4231. The first rotating part 422 is rotated counterclockwise, and the first cover plate 21 slides towards the front window side under the interaction force of the first moving part 423 and the first limiting post 412. Figure 13A and Figure 13BAs shown, the first sliding part 213 slides from the first position 102 of the slide groove 101 to the second position 103 of the slide groove 101, and the first rotating part 422 rotates into place, locking the first rotating part 422 with the first moving part 423. The locking of the first moving part 423, the first rotating part 422 and the first limiting post 412 can restrict the movement of the first cover plate 21 in the front-back direction and the left-right direction; the movement of the first sliding part 213 to the second position 103 of the slide groove 101 can restrict the movement of the first cover plate 21 in the height direction, thereby realizing the locking of the first cover plate 21 with the box body 10. The disassembly process is as follows: First, snap on the first rotating part 422 and rotate it clockwise. Under the interaction of the first moving part 423 and the first limiting post 412, the first cover plate 21 slides towards the rear window side. The first sliding part 213 slides from the second position 103 of the slide groove 101 to the first position 102 of the slide groove 101. The first sliding part 213 is located at the groove opening 1011. The first locking seat 42 and the first limiting post 412 are unlocked, thereby allowing the first cover plate 21 to be removed from above the housing 10. The first position 102 is the unlocked position of the first cover plate 21, and the second position 103 is the locked position of the first cover plate 21.

[0082] The structure of the second lock seat 44 can be the same as that of the first lock seat 42. The structure of the second lock seat 44 can be referred to Figure 6A , Figure 6B and Figure 6C The structure of the first lock seat 42. (Example) Figure 8B As shown, the second lock seat 44 may include a second fixing part 441, a second rotating part 442, and a second moving part 443. The second lock seat 44 is mounted on the second top plate 221 via the second fixing part 441, which has space to accommodate the second rotating part 442 and the second moving part 443. The second rotating part 442 is capable of rotating relative to the second fixing part 441. The second moving part 443 is connected to the second rotating part 442 and moves linearly with the rotation of the second rotating part 442. The second fixing part 441 has a second guide hole, which is an elongated hole. The second moving part 443 has a second through hole, and the second guide hole communicates with the second through hole. Figure 15 As shown, the second locking bracket 43 can be fixed to the base plate 611 by the second fastener 433. Figure 12 As shown, the top of the second locking bracket 43 is provided with a second limiting post 432, and the diameter of the second through hole is adapted to the diameter of the second limiting post 432.

[0083] The process of installing and removing the second cover plate 22 and the housing 10 via the second connecting assembly is as follows. The installation process is as follows: the second sliding part 223 on the second cover plate 22 is placed in the sliding groove 101 on the housing 10, and the second limiting post 432 passes through the second guide hole and the second through hole in sequence. The second rotating part 442 is rotated counterclockwise, and the second cover plate 22 slides towards the front window side under the interaction force of the second moving part 443 and the second limiting post 432. Figure 14A and Figure 14B As shown, the second sliding part 223 slides from the first position 102 of the slide groove 101 to the second position 103 of the slide groove 101, and the second rotating part 442 rotates into place, locking the second rotating part 442 with the second moving part 443. The second moving part 443, the second rotating part 442, and the second limiting post 432 are locked together, which can restrict the movement of the second cover plate 22 in the front-back direction and the left-right direction; the second sliding part 223 moves to the second position 103 of the slide groove 101, which can restrict the movement of the second cover plate 22 in the height direction, thereby realizing the locking of the second cover plate 22 with the box body 10. The disassembly process is as follows: Hook up the second rotating part 442 and rotate it clockwise. Under the interaction of the second moving part 443 and the second limiting post 432, the second cover plate 22 slides towards the rear window side. The second sliding part 223 slides from the second position 103 of the slide groove 101 to the first position 102 of the slide groove 101. The second sliding part 223 is located at the groove opening 1011. The second locking seat 44 and the second limiting post 432 are unlocked, thereby allowing the second cover plate 22 to be removed from above the housing 10. The first position 102 is the unlocked position of the second cover plate 22, and the second position 103 is the locked position of the second cover plate 22.

[0084] A rotational action is applied to the first rotating part 422 of the first locking seat 42. Under the interaction force of the first moving part 423 and the first limiting post 412, the first sliding part 213 on the first cover plate 21 can slide to the first position 102 or the second position 103 of the slide groove 101. When the first sliding part 213 slides to the second position 103, the first locking seat 42 locks with the first limiting post 412, and the first cover plate 21 locks with the housing 10. When the first sliding part 213 slides to the first position 102, the first locking seat 42 and the first limiting post 412 are unlocked, and the first cover plate 21 can be separated from the housing 10. The first cover plate 21 can be installed and removed without the need for tools, which is beneficial to the convenience of installing and removing the first cover plate 21. In addition, the first lock bracket 41 is located inside the housing 10, which can make reasonable use of the internal space of the housing 10. The first locking seat 42 is installed on the first top plate 211 of the first cover plate 21, which is beneficial to the aesthetics. There is no need to set a connection structure on the side of the housing 10 and the first cover plate 21, which is beneficial to the aesthetics.

[0085] A rotational action is applied to the second rotating part 442 of the second locking seat 44. Under the interaction force of the second moving part 443 and the second limiting post 432, the second sliding part 223 on the second cover plate 22 can slide to the first position 102 or the second position 103 of the slide groove 101. When the second sliding part 223 slides to the second position 103, the second locking seat 44 locks with the second limiting post 432, and the second cover plate 22 locks with the housing 10. When the second sliding part 223 slides to the first position 102, the second locking seat 44 and the second limiting post 432 are unlocked, and the second cover plate 22 can be separated from the housing 10. The second cover plate 22 can be installed and removed without the need for tools, which is beneficial to the convenience of installing and removing the second cover plate 22. In addition, the second lock bracket 43 is located inside the housing 10, which can make reasonable use of the internal space of the housing 10. The second locking seat 44 is installed on the second top plate 221 of the second cover plate 22, which is beneficial to the aesthetics. There is no need to set a connection structure on the side of the housing 10 and the second cover plate 22, which is beneficial to the aesthetics.

[0086] In the embodiments of this application, the first locking bracket 41 and the second locking bracket 43 are detachably mounted on the base plate 611. The first locking bracket 41, mounted on the base plate 611, allows the first cover plate 21 to slide relative to the housing 10 to a locked or unlocked position by rotating the first locking seat 42 and sliding the first sliding part 213. The first cover plate 21 is connected to or disconnected from the housing 10 by rotating the first locking seat 42 and sliding the first sliding part 213. The second locking bracket 43, mounted on the base 61, allows the second cover plate 22 to slide relative to the housing 10 to a locked or unlocked position by rotating the second locking seat 44 and sliding the second sliding part 223. This eliminates the need for tools during assembly and disassembly, facilitating the installation and removal of the first and second cover plates 21 and 22; furthermore, it improves the overall aesthetics of the server.

[0087] In the embodiments of this application, such as Figure 4A and Figure 4B As shown, multiple sliding grooves 101 are spaced apart on the side wall 12 of the housing 10. Figure 5 As shown, multiple first sliding portions 213 are spaced apart on the first side plate 212 of the first cover plate 21. Figure 11A and Figure 11B As shown, a plurality of second sliding portions 223 are spaced apart on the second side plate 222 of the second cover plate 22.

[0088] During the installation of the first cover plate 21, the first cover plate 21 is aligned with the housing 10, and the multiple first sliding parts 213 are positioned one-to-one at the first positions 102 of the multiple sliding grooves 101. Rotating the first rotating part 422 of the first lock seat 42 causes the multiple first sliding parts 213 to slide along the multiple sliding grooves 101 towards the second position 103, which improves the smoothness and stability of the sliding. During the disassembly of the first cover plate 21, the multiple first sliding parts 213 slide along the multiple sliding grooves 101 from the second position 103 towards the first position 102, which also improves the smoothness and stability of the sliding.

[0089] During the installation of the second cover plate 22, the second cover plate 22 is aligned with the housing 10, and the multiple second sliding parts 223 are positioned one-to-one at the first positions 102 of the multiple sliding grooves 101. Rotating the second rotating part 442 of the second lock seat 44 causes the multiple second sliding parts 223 to slide along the multiple sliding grooves 101 towards the second position 103, which improves the smoothness and stability of the sliding. During the disassembly of the second cover plate 22, the multiple second sliding parts 223 slide along the multiple sliding grooves 101 from the second position 103 towards the first position 102, which also improves the smoothness and stability of the sliding.

[0090] In the embodiments of this application, such as Figure 7B As shown, a first limiting member 63 can be provided on the base 61. For example... Figure 7A As shown, the first lock bracket 41 may include a first support body 411 and a first limiting post 412 disposed on the first support body 411. The first support body 411 is provided with a first limiting hole 4114, and a first limiting member 63 is used to pass through the first limiting hole 4114. The first support body 411 is connected to the base 61 by a first fastener 413. Figure 12 As shown, the second lock bracket 43 may include a second support body 431 and a second limiting post 432 disposed on the second support body 431. The second support body 431 is provided with a second limiting hole 4314. A first limiting member 63 is used to pass through the second limiting hole 4314. The second support body 431 is connected to the base 61 through a second fastener 433.

[0091] like Figure 15 As shown, a connecting post 68 and a first limiting member 63 can be disposed on the base plate 611 of the base 61. The connecting post 68 and the first limiting member 63 are spaced apart. The connecting post 68 may include a rivet with internal threads, and the first limiting member 63 may include an H-beam. The number of rivets and the number of first limiting members 63 are set according to actual needs. For example, two rivets and two first limiting members 63 are spaced apart on the base plate 611.

[0092] In some embodiments, the first locking bracket 41 includes a first support 411, which may be generally Z-shaped. The height of the first support 411 is adapted to the height between the base plate 611 and the first top plate 211. Figure 7A As shown, the first support body 411 may include a first bottom support plate 4111, a first side support plate 4112, and a first top support plate 4113. The two first bottom support plates 4111 are arranged opposite to each other, and the two first side support plates 4112 are arranged opposite to each other. Each first bottom support plate 4111 may be provided with a connecting hole and a first limiting hole 4114. The first limiting hole 4114 may be a gourd hole adapted to an H-beam nail. A first limiting post 412 is protruding from the first top support plate 4113.

[0093] The process of installing the first locking bracket 41 is as follows: The first limiting hole 4114 on the first locking bracket 41 is roughly aligned with the first limiting member 63 on the base 61, and the connecting hole is roughly aligned with the rivet. The first limiting member 63 passes through the first limiting hole 4114, and the first locking bracket 41 is slid towards the rear wall until the limiting surface of the first limiting member 63 abuts against the wall surface of the first limiting hole 4114. Then, the first fastener 413 is screwed into the threaded hole of the connecting hole and the rivet, thereby achieving the connection between the first locking bracket 41 and the base plate 611. The first fastener 413 includes a screw.

[0094] The process of disassembling the first lock bracket 41 is as follows: After removing the first fastener 413 from the first lock bracket 41, slide the first lock bracket 41 towards the front window side until the larger diameter of the first limiting member 63 aligns with the larger diameter of the first limiting hole 4114, allowing the first lock bracket 41 to be removed. The first fastener 413 may include a manual screw, allowing for tool-free installation and removal of the first lock bracket 41, thus improving ease of operation. The connection between the first lock bracket 41 and the base 61 is achieved through two first limiting members 63 and two first fasteners 413, ensuring a secure connection. Furthermore, the small number of fasteners facilitates quick installation and removal.

[0095] In some embodiments, such as Figure 12As shown, the second lock bracket 43 includes a second support body 431, which may be approximately U-shaped. The height of the second support body 431 is greater than the height of the first support body 411, and the height of the second support body 431 is adapted to the height between the base 61 and the second top plate 221. The second support body 431 may include a second bottom support plate 4311, a second side support plate 4312, and a second top support plate 4313. The two second bottom support plates 4311 are arranged opposite each other, and the two second side support plates 4312 are arranged opposite each other. The mounting position of the second lock bracket 43 on the base plate 611 may be the same as the mounting position of the first lock bracket 41 on the base plate 611. Each second bottom support plate 4311 may be provided with a connecting hole and a second limiting hole 4314. The second limiting hole 4314 may be a gourd hole adapted to an H-shaped pin. A second limiting post 432 is protruding from the second top support plate 4313. The process of installing and removing the second lock bracket 43 is as follows.

[0096] The process of installing the second locking bracket 43 is as follows: Figure 15 As shown, the second limiting hole 4314 on the second locking bracket 43 is approximately aligned with the first limiting member 63 on the base plate 611, and the connecting hole is approximately aligned with the connecting post 68. The first limiting member 63 passes through the second limiting hole 4314, and the second locking bracket 43 slides towards the rear wall until the limiting surface of the first limiting member 63 abuts against the wall surface of the second limiting hole 4314. Then, the second fastener 433 is screwed into the threaded hole of the connecting hole and the connecting post 68, thereby achieving the connection between the second locking bracket 43 and the base plate 611. The second fastener 433 includes a screw.

[0097] The process of disassembling the second lock bracket 43 is as follows: After removing the second fastener 433 from the second lock bracket 43, slide the second lock bracket 43 towards the front window side until the larger diameter of the first limiting member 63 aligns with the larger diameter of the second limiting hole 4314, allowing the second lock bracket 43 to be removed. The second fastener 433 may include a manual screw, allowing for tool-free installation and removal of the second lock bracket 43, thus improving ease of operation. The connection between the second lock bracket 43 and the base 61 is achieved through two first limiting members 63 and two second fasteners 433, ensuring a secure connection. Furthermore, the small number of fasteners facilitates quick installation and removal.

The groove 643 can be an annular groove.

[0104] The second connecting portion 642 can be tapered at both ends. The surface of the second connecting portion 642 includes a first guide surface 6421, a second guide surface 6422, and a connecting surface 6423 connecting the first guide surface 6421 and the second guide surface 6422. The connecting surface 6423 can be annular and parallel to the insertion direction of the snap-fit ​​member 331. The first guide surface 6421 and the second guide surface 6422 are inclined relative to the connecting surface 6423. The first guide surface 6421 is inclined upward relative to the connecting surface 6423, and the second guide surface 6422 is inclined downward relative to the connecting surface 6423.

[0105] The slot 643 includes a first side slot wall, a slot bottom, and a second side slot wall connected in sequence. The second side slot wall can be connected to the second guide surface 6422.

[0106] The first end of the air guide cover 33 is provided with a snap-fit ​​member 331. The snap-fit ​​member 331 can be made of elastic material, plastic or other materials. The snap-fit ​​member 331 includes at least two snap-fit ​​parts 3311. The snap-fit ​​parts 3311 can expand outward under the action of external force. After the external force disappears, the snap-fit ​​parts 3311 can return to the initial state.

[0107] The number of card connectors 331 is set according to actual needs. The number of card connectors 331 can be one, two, or more. For example, as... Figure 16A As shown, there are two snap-fit ​​pieces 331, which are spaced apart at the first end of the air guide shroud 33. The base plate 611 is provided with two connectors 64, and the two snap-fit ​​pieces 331 and the two connectors 64 can be snapped together one by one.

[0108] In some embodiments, the snap-fit ​​member 331 includes four snap-fit ​​portions 3311, which are arranged circumferentially at intervals. The ends of the snap-fit ​​portions 3311 are formed with hooks that are adapted to the snap-fit ​​slots 643. The following describes the installation and removal process of the snap-fit ​​member 331 and the connector 64.

[0109] During installation, such as Figure 17 , Figure 18 and Figure 19 As shown, when the snap-fit ​​part 331 and the connector 64 are aligned, downward pressure is applied to the air guide shroud 33. The snap-fit ​​part 3311 moves downward along the first guide surface 6421. Under the action of external force, the snap-fit ​​part 3311 opens outward until the hook of the snap-fit ​​part 3311 moves to the slot 643. The snap-fit ​​part 3311 then returns to its initial state, thereby achieving the connection between the snap-fit ​​part 331 and the connector 64. The snap-fit ​​part 3311 moves downward under the guidance of the first guide surface 6421, which facilitates installation.

[0110] During disassembly, an upward pulling force is applied to the air guide cover 33, causing the locking part 3311 to move upward along the second guide surface 6422. Under the action of external force, the locking part 3311 opens outward until the hook of the locking part 3311 moves out of the slot 643 and to the first guide surface 6421. The locking part 3311 then returns to its initial state, thereby separating the locking part 331 and the connecting part 64. The upward movement of the locking part 3311 under the guidance of the second guide surface 6422 facilitates disassembly. The installation and disassembly of the air guide cover 33 can be performed without tools.

[0111] The second connecting part 642 of the connector 64 has a suitable distance from the main board 62. The air guide shroud 33 is snapped into place by the connector 64 on the base plate 611 through the snap-fit ​​part 331. The bottom surface of the air guide shroud 33 is not supported on the main board 62, which can effectively prevent the air guide shroud 33 from moving relative to the main board 62 during transportation or due to external factors such as vibration or handling, thus avoiding scratching the main board 62.

[0112] In the embodiments of this application, a downward pressure is applied to the air guide cover 33, and the snap-fit ​​part 3311 moves along the first guide surface 6421 until it snaps into the slot 643; an upward pulling force is applied to the air guide cover 33, and the snap-fit ​​part 3311 moves along the second guide surface 6422 until it moves out of the slot 643. Provided the connection is secure, tool-free assembly and disassembly can be achieved, which facilitates the installation and removal of the air guide cover 33 and avoids damage to the mainboard 62.

[0113] In embodiments of this application, a second limiting member 65 may be provided on the first side of the base 61, such as... Figure 16B As shown, a first extension 332 can be provided on one side of the air guide shroud 33. The first extension 332 is provided with a third limiting hole 3321, and the second limiting member 65 is used to insert into the third limiting hole 3321. A third limiting member 66 can be provided on the second side of the base 61, such as... Figure 16B As shown, a second extension 333 can be provided on the other side of the air guide shroud 33. The second extension 333 is provided with a fourth limiting hole 3331, and a third limiting member 66 is used to be inserted into the fourth limiting hole 3331.

[0114] Along the width direction of the housing 10, the base 61 has a first side and a second side opposite to each other, and the air guide shroud 33 has a first side and a second side opposite to each other. The first side of the air guide shroud 33 and the first side of the base 61 are located on the same side of the housing 10, and the second side of the air guide shroud 33 and the second side of the base 61 are located on the same side of the housing 10.

[0115] In some embodiments, a second limiting member 65 is provided on the substrate 611 on the first side of the base 61. The second limiting member 65 may be generally columnar. A first extension 332 is formed protruding from the first side of the air guide shroud 33. The extension direction of the first extension 332 is parallel to the height direction of the housing 10. The first extension 332 may be generally columnar. A third limiting hole 3321 is formed by recessing the end face of the first extension 332. The second limiting member 65 can extend into the third limiting hole 3321 to form a limiting relationship between the first side of the air guide shroud 33 and the base 61, so as to prevent the first side of the air guide shroud 33 from shaking or swaying.

[0116] In some embodiments, a third limiting member 66 is provided on the second side of the base 61, and the third limiting member 66 may be generally cylindrical. A second extension 333 is protruding from the second side of the air guide shroud 33. The extension direction of the second extension 333 is parallel to the height direction of the housing 10. The second extension 333 may be generally cylindrical, and a fourth limiting hole 3331 is formed by recessing the end face of the second extension 333. The third limiting member 66 can extend into the fourth limiting hole 3331 to form a limiting relationship between the second side of the air guide shroud 33 and the base 61, so as to prevent the second side of the air guide shroud 33 from shaking or swaying.

[0117] The first end of the air guide shroud 33 may be provided with two snap-fit ​​pieces 331 for snapping with two connectors 64 on the base plate 611. The first side of the second end of the air guide shroud 33 is provided with a first extension 332, which is used to insert and connect with the second limiting member 65 on the base 61. The second side of the second end of the air guide shroud 33 is provided with a second extension 333, which is used to insert and connect with the third limiting member 66 on the base 61. The connection between the air guide shroud 33 and the base 61 is achieved through four connection structures, which helps to improve the stability of the connection between the air guide shroud 33 and the base 61.

[0118] During the installation of the air guide shroud 33, such as Figure 17 and Figure 18 As shown, a downward pressure is applied to the air guide shroud 33, such as Figure 19 , Figure 20 and Figure 21 As shown, while the snap-fit ​​member 331 snaps into the slot 643 of the connector 64, the second limiting member 65 is inserted into the third limiting hole 3321 of the first extension 332, and the third limiting member 66 is inserted into the fourth limiting hole 3331 of the second extension 333.

[0119] During the disassembly of the air guide cover 33, an upward pulling force is applied to the air guide cover 33. At the same time, the snap-fit ​​portion 3311 of the snap-fit ​​member 331 moves out of the snap-fit ​​slot 643, the first extension portion 332 can separate from the second limiting member 65, and the second extension portion 333 can separate from the third limiting member 66.

[0120] In the embodiments of this application, the snap-fit ​​member 331 at the first end of the air guide shroud 33 is connected to the connector 64 by snap-fit, the first extension 332 on the first side of the air guide shroud 33 is connected to the second limiting member 65 by plug-in, and the second extension 333 on the second side of the air guide shroud 33 is connected to the third limiting member 66 by plug-in. The connection between the air guide shroud 33 and the base 61 is achieved through at least three connection structures, which helps to further improve the stability of the connection between the air guide shroud 33 and the base 61. In addition, tool-free disassembly and assembly can be achieved, which is beneficial to the convenience of installation and disassembly.

[0121] In the embodiments of this application, such as Figure 20 As shown, the second limiting member 65 includes a first support portion 651 and a first limiting portion 652 connected to the first support portion 651. When the second limiting member 65 and the first extension portion 332 are in an inserted state, the end face of the first extension portion 332 abuts against the first support portion 651, and the first limiting portion 652 is inserted into the third limiting hole 3321. Figure 21 As shown, the third limiting member 66 includes a second support portion 661 and a second limiting portion 662 connected to the second support portion 661. When the third limiting member 66 and the second extension portion 333 are in the insertion state, the end face of the second extension portion 333 abuts against the second support portion 661, and the second limiting portion 662 is inserted into the fourth limiting hole 3331.

[0122] In some embodiments, such as Figure 20 As shown, the second limiting member 65 includes a first support portion 651 and a first limiting portion 652 connected to each other. The first support portion 651 and the first limiting portion 652 are arranged sequentially along the height direction. The cross-section of the first support portion 651 is larger than the cross-section of the first limiting portion 652. The diameter of the first limiting portion 652 is adapted to the diameter of the third limiting hole 3321.

[0123] The first extension 332 may include a first cylindrical portion and a first bottom portion connected to the first cylindrical portion. The first bottom portion is provided with a third limiting hole 3321, which communicates with the chamber of the first cylindrical portion.

[0124] After the air guide shroud 33 moves vertically downwards into place, its first bottom abuts against the support surface of the first support portion 651, and the first limiting portion 652 extends into the cavity of the first cylindrical portion through the third limiting hole 3321. The support surface of the first support portion 651 and the first bottom have a suitable contact area, which restricts the movement of the air guide shroud 33 while providing effective support for the air guide shroud 33.

[0125] In some embodiments, such as Figure 21As shown, the third limiting member 66 includes a second support portion 661 and a second limiting portion 662 connected to each other. The second support portion 661 and the second limiting portion 662 are arranged sequentially along the height direction. The cross-section of the second support portion 661 is larger than the cross-section of the second limiting portion 662. The diameter of the second limiting portion 662 is adapted to the diameter of the fourth limiting hole 3331. The second extension portion 333 can be a hollow cylindrical body.

[0126] After the air guide shroud 33 moves vertically downward into place, the end face of the second extension 333 comes into contact with the support surface of the second support 661. The support surface of the second support 661 and the end face of the second extension 333 have a suitable contact area, which restricts the movement of the air guide shroud 33 while providing effective support for the air guide shroud 33.

[0127] In the embodiments of this application, after the air guide shroud 33 is installed in place, the first limiting part 652 extends into the third limiting hole 3321, the end face of the first extension part 332 abuts against the supporting surface of the first supporting part 651, the second limiting part 662 extends into the fourth limiting hole 3331, and the end face of the second extension part 333 abuts against the supporting surface of the second supporting part 661. This restricts the movement of the air guide shroud 33 while providing support for the air guide shroud 33, which is beneficial to further improve the stability of the connection between the air guide shroud 33 and the base 61.

[0128] In the embodiments of this application, such as Figure 11B As shown, a pressing member 224 can be provided on the inner wall surface of the second cover plate 22. The pressing member 224 is used to abut against the functional module 67 on the base 61. Figure 11B As shown, a reinforcing member 225 can be provided on the inner wall surface of the second cover plate 22.

[0129] The second cover plate 22 includes a second top plate 221 and a second side plate 222 connected to the second top plate 221, with the two second side plates 222 arranged opposite to each other. A third side plate may be provided at the rear end of the second cover plate 22, with both ends of the third side plate connected to the two second side plates 222 respectively.

[0130] The second cover plate 22 has a relatively high overall height, resulting in a large gap between the second top plate 221 and the base plate 611. For functional modules 67 that are connected to the base plate 611 via plug-in connections, if the overall height of the functional module 67 is low and the gap between the functional module 67 and the second top plate 221 is large, the connection may be unstable. For example, functional module 67 includes an HBA module located behind the second heat sink 32. A pressing member 224 can be provided on the inner wall of the second top plate 221 at a position corresponding to the HBA module to ensure the secure connection of the HBA module.

[0131] In some embodiments, the pressing member 224 can be a frame structure assembled from multiple plate-like bodies. When the second cover plate 22 is connected to the housing 10, the top surface of the pressing member 224 can abut against the top surface of the HBA module.

[0132] To prevent deformation of the second cover plate 22, a reinforcing member 225 can be installed on the inner wall of the second top plate 221. The cross-section of the reinforcing member 225 can be U-shaped. The length of the reinforcing member 225 can be adapted to the spacing between the two second side plates 222, and the height of the reinforcing member 225 is less than the height of the second side plates 222. The number of reinforcing members 225 is set according to actual needs. For example, there can be two reinforcing members 225, which are spaced apart along the length of the second cover plate 22. One reinforcing member 225 can be close to the first end of the air guide shroud 33, and the other reinforcing member 225 can be close to the second end of the air guide shroud 33. The reinforcing member 225 is used to improve the structural strength of the second cover plate 22, prevent the second cover plate 22 from deforming, and avoid affecting the assembly of the second cover plate 22 with the housing 10.

[0133] In the embodiments of this application, the inner wall surface of the second cover plate 22 is provided with a pressing member 224, which can abut against the functional module 67 on the base 61 to ensure the stability of the connection of the functional module 67. The reinforcing member 225 is used to improve the structural strength of the second cover plate 22 and can effectively prevent the second cover plate 22 from deforming.

[0134] In the embodiments of this application, such as Figure 11C As shown, the front end of the second cover plate 22 is provided with an air guide 226, and the air guide 226 is provided with an air guide hole 2263.

[0135] In some embodiments, such as Figure 22 As shown, the air guide 226 includes a hollow square frame structure 2261 and an air guide plate 2262 disposed on one side of the frame structure 2261. The frame structure 2261 can be connected to the second cover plate 22 by screwing.

[0136] In some embodiments, a third connecting portion extends from the top of the frame structure 2261, and a fourth connecting portion extends from the side of the frame structure 2261. The third connecting portion can fit against the inner wall surface of the second top plate 221. The second top plate 221 has a first connecting hole, and the third connecting portion has a second connecting hole. Fasteners are screwed into the first and second connecting holes to connect the second top plate 221 and the third connecting portion. The fourth connecting portion can fit against the inner wall surface of the second side plate 222. The second side plate 222 has a third connecting hole, and the fourth connecting portion has a fourth connecting hole. Fasteners are screwed into the third and fourth connecting holes to connect the second side plate 222 and the fourth connecting portion. The fasteners include screws.

[0137] The air guide plate 2262 is provided with air guide holes 2263, and the shape of the air guide holes 2263 may include at least one of the following: circular, elliptical, square, polygonal, etc. Multiple air guide holes 2263 can be arranged in an array on the air guide plate 2262. Multiple air guide holes 2263 are beneficial to increasing the air intake of the server.

[0138] In the embodiments of this application, the front end of the second cover plate 22 is provided with an air guide 226, and the air guide hole 2263 on the air guide 226 is connected to the inside of the server, which is conducive to increasing the air intake of the server and thus improving the heat dissipation efficiency of the server.

[0139] During the replacement of the first server 100 and the second server 200, the assembly and disassembly of the first cover plate 21 and the enclosure 10 can be performed without tools; the assembly and disassembly of the second cover plate 22 and the enclosure 10 can be performed without tools; the assembly and disassembly of the first locking bracket 41 and the base 61 can be performed without tools; the assembly and disassembly of the second locking bracket 43 and the base 61 can be performed without tools; and the assembly and disassembly of the air guide shroud 33 and the base 61 can be performed without tools. Only the disassembly and assembly of the first heat sink 31 and the second heat sink 32 require tools, which facilitates the replacement of the two types of servers.

[0140] The following example illustrates the process of replacing a low-power 4U server with a high-power 5U server.

[0141] The disassembly procedure for the 4U server is as follows: First, engage the first rotating part 422 of the first locking seat 42 and rotate it clockwise. Under the interaction of the first moving part 423 and the first limiting post 412, the first cover plate 21 slides towards the rear window side. The first sliding part 213 slides to the first position 102 of the slide groove 101, at which point the first cover plate 21 can be separated from the housing 10. Remove the first cover plate 21. Next, remove the third fastener on the first heat sink 31 and remove the first heat sink 31. Then, remove the first fastener 413 on the first locking bracket 41, slide the first locking bracket 41 towards the front window side, and remove the first locking bracket 41. This completes the disassembly of the structural components required for the 4U server.

[0142] The installation procedure for the 5U server is as follows. The second heatsink 32 is installed onto the motherboard 62 using the fourth fastener. Then, the second limiting hole 4314 on the second locking bracket 43 is aligned with the first limiting member 63 on the substrate 611. The second locking bracket 43 is slid towards the rear window side. After the second locking bracket 43 slides into place, the second locking bracket 43 and the connecting post 68 on the substrate 611 are connected using the second fastener 433. Next, the snap-fit ​​member 331, the first extension 332, and the second extension 333 of the air guide shroud 33 are aligned with the connecting member 64, the second limiting member 65, and the third limiting member 66 on the substrate 611, respectively. Downward pressure is applied to the air guide shroud 33. After the air guide shroud 33 moves into place, the snap-fit ​​member 331 engages with the connecting member 64, the second limiting member 65 engages with the first extension 332, and the third limiting member 66 engages with the first extension 332. The connection between the air guide shroud 33 and the base 61 is achieved through these four connecting structures. Next, align the second sliding part 223 on the second cover plate 22 with the slot 1011 on the housing 10 and install it downwards. Rotate the second rotating part 442 of the second locking seat 44 counterclockwise. After rotation, the second locking seat 44 locks with the second limiting post 432, and the second sliding part 223 slides to the second position 103 of the slide groove 101. The second cover plate 22 locks with the housing 10, thus completing the assembly of the 5U server. The pressing part 224 inside the second cover plate 22 can abut against the HBA module to ensure the stability of the HBA module connection.

[0143] When you need to replace a high-power 5U server with a low-power 4U server, you can refer to the process of replacing a low-power 4U server with a high-power 5U server and simply reverse the steps.
