DETAILED DESCRIPTION
[0027] In order to make the purpose, technical solution and advantages of the embodiments of the utility model clearer, the technical solution of the utility model will be clearly and completely described below in conjunction with the accompanying drawings. Obviously, the described embodiments are part of the embodiments of the utility model, not all of the embodiments. Based on the embodiments of the utility model, all other embodiments obtained by ordinary technicians in this field without creative work are within the scope of protection of the utility model.
[0028] In the information age, with the advancement of artificial intelligence, big data technology and mobile communication technology, the significant growth in traffic will drive up the demand for computing power and storage, requiring a large number of servers for data storage and a large amount of computing power for the calculation and evolution of algorithms.
[0029] However, in recent years, the technology of domestic server manufacturers has been continuously improving, the degree of chip autonomy has increased, and the power consumption of processors has also increased. Usually, the ATX power supply that powers the processor is set on the upper part of the server motherboard. The power supply is laid through the inner power layer with copper foil to the power input end of the processor to power the processor. However, due to the high power consumption, this method requires the inner power layer to increase the board layer to afford the power supply demand, which increases the cost.
[0030] To discover this problem, the inventor has made a series of calculations:
[0031] As the power consumption of the processor increases, for example, the Feiteng S5000C processor, the power consumption of the processor can reach 400W. In the case of a dual-channel server, the power consumption of two processors will reach 800W, so the heat dissipation performance requirements of the fan are relatively high. For example, four fans are set for heat dissipation for two processors, and the fans will be powered by the server motherboard, so the power consumption of the fans will reach 320W. In addition, the power consumption of the processor memory is 160W, and the lower part of the server motherboard requires 1280W of power supply. And these power consumptions all correspond to 12V, so the current of the 12V in the lower part of the server motherboard reaches 106A. For the server motherboard, this current is very large.
[0032] For ease of understanding, Figure 1 The structure diagram of a server motherboard of a related technology provided by the embodiment of the utility model. The power port 01 in the related technology is set on the upper part of the server motherboard, and the power supply goes to the power input end of the processor 02 in the related technology, the input end of the memory 03 of the processor in the related technology, and the input end of the fan connector 04 in the related technology connected to the fan through the inner power layer to power it, but the channel is full of processors 02 in the related technology and memory 03 of the processor in the related technology. Each processor 02 in the related technology can include eight memories, and the number of layers and thickness of the server motherboard are certain. Because the copper of the inner power layer must be thick to withstand large current, the thickness of the server motherboard must also be increased when the inner power layer is increased. After the server motherboard is thickened, the length of some port pins must also be lengthened, which is more difficult to find, so the only way is to increase the board layer, and the increase in board layers will inevitably increase the cost.
[0033] Based on this, an embodiment of the utility model provides a server motherboard, which includes: a first power port, a second power port, a processor, a fan connector and other power modules, the processor includes a memory, wherein the first power port is arranged at the lower half of the server motherboard, and is used to supply power to the processor, the fan connector is arranged at the lower half of the server motherboard, and the fan connector is used to connect a fan to dissipate heat from the processor, and the second power port is arranged at the upper half of the server motherboard, and is used to supply power to other power modules and the fan connector. In this way, the processor is powered by the first power port, which reduces the power supply burden of the second power port, ensures the normal power supply to the server motherboard, and avoids the cost increase caused by adding a board layer to the inner power layer, thereby playing a role in saving costs.
[0034] To facilitate understanding of this embodiment, a server mainboard disclosed in an embodiment of the utility model is first introduced in detail.
[0035] Example 1
[0036] The utility model embodiment provides a server mainboard, Figure 2 This is a structural diagram of a server motherboard provided by an embodiment of the utility model. Figure 2 As shown, the server motherboard may include the following structure:
[0037] The first power port 10, the second power port 20, the processor 30, the fan connector 40 and other power modules 50. The processor 30 includes a memory 31.
[0038] Specifically, the first power port 10 is a 2×4 pin power port, and the second power port 20 includes a 2×12 pin power port and a 2×4 pin power port.
[0039] The first power port 10 and the fan connector 40 are arranged at the lower part of the server mainboard, and the second power port 20 is arranged at the upper part of the server mainboard.
[0040] Specifically, the lower half of the server motherboard is an area in the server motherboard for setting the processor 30, memory 31 and fan connector 40. The upper half of the server motherboard is an area in the server motherboard for setting other power modules 50, wherein the other power modules 50 may include chips, connectors, slots, etc.
[0041] The memory 31 is the memory of the processor 30 . The processor 30 includes eight memory bars 31 . Specifically, there are four memory bars 31 on each of the left and right sides of the processor 30 .
[0042] The first power port 10 is used to supply power to the processor 30 , and the second power port 20 is used to supply power to other power-consuming modules 50 .
[0043] The server motherboard provided by the embodiment of the utility model comprises: a first power port 10, a second power port 20, a processor 30, a fan connector 40 and other power modules 50, wherein the processor comprises a memory, wherein the first power port 10 is arranged at the lower half of the server motherboard, and is used to supply power to the processor 30, the fan connector 40 is arranged at the lower half of the server motherboard, and the fan connector 40 is used to connect a fan to dissipate heat from the processor 30, and the second power port 20 is arranged at the upper half of the server motherboard, and is used to supply power to other power modules 50 and the fan connector 40. In this manner, the processor 30 is supplied with power through the first power port 10, which reduces the power supply burden of the second power port 20, ensures the normal power supply to the server motherboard, and avoids the cost increase caused by adding a board layer to the inner power layer, thereby playing a role in cost saving.
[0044] Example 2
[0045] The embodiment of the utility model also provides another server mainboard; the server mainboard is implemented on the basis of the server mainboard of the above embodiment.
[0046] Figure 3 This is a structural diagram of another server motherboard provided by an embodiment of the utility model. Figure 3 As shown, the structure of the server motherboard is specifically as follows:
[0047] Based on the server motherboard in the above embodiment, the number of the processors 30 may be two. When the number of the processors 30 is two, the number of the first power ports 10 is also two.
[0048] Specifically, the two first power ports 10 are respectively located at the left and right sides of the bottom end of the lower half of the server mainboard to respectively provide power to the two processors 30 .
[0049] Further, when the number of processors 30 is two, the number of fan connectors 40 is four.
[0050] Specifically, four fan connectors 40 are disposed between the two first power ports 10 to install fans to dissipate heat for the two processors 30 .
[0051] Among them, four fan connectors 40 are evenly arranged between the two first power ports 10, in groups of two, and divided into two groups. Each group of fan connectors 40 corresponds to a processor 30, so as to dissipate heat for the processor 30 after connecting a fan.
[0052] Specifically, the number of the second power ports 20 is three, including one 2×12 pin power port and two 2×4 pin power ports, and the three second power ports 20 are all located on the same side of the upper half of the server mainboard.
[0053] In actual applications, since the power consumption required when the server motherboard is fully configured is at least 1600W, and the one 2×12pin power port and two 2×4pin power ports of the second power port 20 can only provide about 1200W of power supply, two first power ports 10 are added, and the two first power ports 10 can provide about 720W of power consumption. According to the aforementioned inventor's calculation, the lower half of the server motherboard requires 1280W of power supply, and there is 560W of power supply left. The 560W requires a current of about 47A at a 12V voltage. Therefore, according to the number of layers and thickness of the inner power layer, it is no problem to withstand a current of 47A.
[0054] The server motherboard provided by the embodiment of the utility model can provide two first power ports 10 to respectively power two processors 30, so as to reduce the burden of the second power port 20, avoid the cost increase caused by adding a board layer to the inner power layer, and thus play a role in saving costs.
[0055] Example 3
[0056] The embodiment of the utility model also provides a server motherboard based on the Feiteng platform; the server motherboard is implemented on the basis of the server motherboard of the above embodiment.
[0057] Figure 4 The structure diagram of a server motherboard based on the Feiteng platform provided by the embodiment of the utility model. Figure 4 As shown, in the server motherboard 60 based on the Feiteng platform:
[0058] The server motherboard is an EATX motherboard, the processor 30 is a Feiteng S5000C, the first power port 10 includes two 2×4pin power ports, and the second power port 20 includes a 2×12pin power port and two 2×4pin power ports.
[0059] The first power port 10 may be two 2×4 pin power ports for connecting the GPU. Although it is different from the ATX standard 2×4 pin power port and has a different definition, the power port is foolproof and therefore cannot be connected incorrectly.
[0060] The second power port 20 may be a 2×12-pin power port and two 2×4-pin power ports at the ATX power supply PSU end. Different from the related art, the second power port 20 does not need to supply power to the processor 30 .
[0061] The server motherboard based on the Feiteng platform provided by the embodiment of the utility model is designed as an EATX board type without adding an inner power supply layer while greatly improving the processor performance. The flexible use of the ATX power supply port and the ingenious layout of the power supply interface of the server motherboard make the design of this server motherboard successful. The EATX board type server motherboard reduces the cost, and because this board type can be placed in a standard chassis, the application is more flexible and extensive.
[0062] Furthermore, the embodiment of the utility model can also provide a chassis with a server motherboard based on the Feiteng platform. For ease of understanding, Figure 5 The structural diagram of a chassis with a server motherboard based on the Feiteng platform provided by the embodiment of the utility model. Figure 5 As shown, the chassis 70 includes a server motherboard 60 based on the Feiteng platform.
[0063] The units described as separate components may or may not be physically separated, and the components shown as units may or may not be physical units, that is, they may be located in one place or distributed on multiple network units. Some or all of the units may be selected according to actual needs to achieve the purpose of the solution of this embodiment.
