Description

Technical Field

[0001] The utility model belongs to the technical field of servers, in particular to a high-storage expansion server. Background Art

[0002] With the diversification of Internet customer product application scenarios, traditional server products cannot meet the ever-changing application requirements of Internet company products in terms of application scenarios. Traditional server products have a wide range of configurations and designs, and need to meet the needs of all companies and customers in society. However, when it comes to customers who focus on storage or computing application scenarios, the disadvantages of traditional server product configurations are reflected. Storage performance or computing performance is obviously at a disadvantage in competition with multi-storage servers, and cannot meet the application needs of Internet customers.

[0003] Domestic and foreign Internet customers have begun to customize and develop high-storage balanced servers, among which 2U high-storage balanced servers have the largest market share in the field of multi-storage server applications. 2U high-storage servers mostly adopt a front-window multi-hard disk design architecture to achieve multi-hard disk storage expansion applications. This design structure can achieve both multi-storage configuration and front-storage hard disk maintenance applications. Adding a hard disk storage structure to the rear will affect the configuration quantity of the PCIE board and the poor maintainability of the rear hard disk. The rear storage design has been eliminated by the market and customers.

[0004] The overall width of the existing server is large, and it is impossible to install the pull-out slide rails and slide rail cable management racks in the cabinet, resulting in the server having no system components and being unable to be hot-swapped for maintenance or being unable to be maintained in the rack. Considering the width of the existing server shell and the standard inner width of the cabinet, only L-shaped bracket rails can be used to install the server in the cabinet, so the server cannot be pulled out for maintenance in the cabinet. Utility Model Content

[0005] In order to solve the problem that the L-shaped bracket rail occupies more space in the cabinet and does not support the maintenance of the server shell in a withdrawn state, the utility model provides a high storage expansion server.

[0006] The utility model is realized by the following technical solutions:

[0007] A high storage expansion server comprises a server housing, wherein the server housing is narrow at the top and wide at the bottom in the width direction, and the upper part of the side wall in the length direction of the server housing is installed in the server cabinet through a ball slide rail; a hard disk installation area is provided in the server housing near one end of the front window; a top tray rack and two-layer middle and lower tray racks are arranged in sequence from top to bottom in the hard disk installation area; the middle and lower tray racks are slidably arranged in the hard disk installation area.

[0008] The ball-bearing guide rail is installed at the narrow part of the server casing in the width direction. This position can provide installation space for the ball-bearing guide rail, thereby helping to reduce the space occupied in the cabinet and realize the support requirements for maintenance operations on the internal components of the server casing in the pulled-out state; the position near the front window is set as the hard disk installation area to improve the convenience of replacing the hard disk body.

[0009] A further improvement of the utility model is that the upper part of the side wall in the length direction of the server housing is provided with an escape groove corresponding to the top tray rack; the ball bearing slide rail is installed in the escape groove. The escape groove provides installation space for the ball bearing slide rail, while minimizing the space occupied in the server housing.

[0010] A further improvement of the present invention is that the width of the server housing corresponding to the top tray rack is 432 mm.

[0011] A further improvement of the utility model is that both sides of the middle and lower tray racks are connected to the inner wall of the server housing through ball bearing rails, so that the middle and lower tray racks can be pulled out separately, which improves the convenience of operation for the maintenance of the hard disk body.

[0012] The present invention is further improved in that the top tray rack and the two-layer middle and lower tray racks are all provided with a hard disk front area and a hard disk rear area; the hard disk front area is arranged close to the front window of the server housing, and the hard disk rear area is arranged on the side of the hard disk front area away from the front window. The space layout is reasonably utilized to increase the upper limit of the storage support of the hard disk body.

[0013] A further improvement of the utility model is that the hard disk body in the hard disk front area is installed by plugging through the front window; the hard disk body in the hard disk rear area is installed by a flippable handle bracket, so as to improve the convenience of assembling the hard disk bodies installed in the hard disk front area and the hard disk rear area respectively.

[0014] A further improvement of the utility model is that the disk position in the hard disk front area is provided with an operating handle that can close the hard disk body after it is installed in place, thereby improving the convenience of operating the hard disk body in the hard disk front area.

[0015] A further improvement of the utility model is that a cable module is provided on the middle and lower tray racks, and the cable module is arranged between the hard disk front area and the hard disk rear area. The cable module at this position reasonably utilizes the internal space, which helps to facilitate the layout of the hard disk body installation components.

[0016] A further improvement of the utility model is that the hard disk slots in the hard disk installation area are all hot-swappable with straight teeth.

[0017] A further improvement of the utility model is that a heat dissipation module is provided on the side of the hard disk installation area away from the front window, and the heat dissipation module spans the width direction of the server housing, which helps to meet the heat dissipation requirements of the hard disk installation area.

[0018] It can be seen from the above technical scheme that the beneficial effects of the utility model are: the ball guide rail is installed at the narrow part of the server casing in the width direction, and this position can provide installation space for the ball guide rail, which helps to reduce the space occupied in the cabinet and realize the support requirements for maintenance operations of the internal components of the server casing in the pulled-out state; the position near the front window is set as the hard disk installation area to improve the convenience of replacing the hard disk body.
