[0029] In the research and development and production process of the server system, it is crucial to ensure the stable power supply capacity from the power supply to the peripheral connector and the compliance of the performance. The traditional testing method relies on the actual device loading. Although this method is intuitive, it has significant limitations. First of all, in order to cover all types of connectors on the main board, it is necessary to prepare a variety of actual application devices with different interfaces, such as RAID cards, memory modules, etc. This not only increases the testing cost but also extends the testing cycle because the acquisition and configuration of the devices are often restricted by the supply chain and the market supply situation. In addition, the use of actual devices may also introduce additional variables, affecting the accuracy and repeatability of the test results. For this reason, the inventor has proposed the following improvement solutions through research, which will be described below.
[0030] Please refer to Figure 1, an embodiment of the present utility model discloses a power load test board for a server motherboard, which includes: a circuit board 10, on which a plurality of connectors with different standards are provided, and the connectors are used to dock with interfaces of corresponding standards; a power load port is also provided on the circuit board 10, and the power load port is used to connect a load device. During the actual test, the test board of this embodiment is connected to the server motherboard to be tested through the connector to ensure that the connector is firmly docked with the corresponding interface on the motherboard. Then, the load device is connected through the power load port. After the load device is connected, the load device is started to simulate the actual load situation, and a power load test is performed on the server motherboard power supply. The data during the test process, including parameters such as voltage and current, are recorded, and data analysis is performed to evaluate the stability and performance of the power supply.
[0031] Further, the connectors include a first connector 20, a second connector 21, a third connector 22, and a fourth connector 23 with different standards. The multiple connectors with different standards enable the test board of this embodiment to be compatible with more corresponding types of interfaces.
[0032] Specifically, the circuit board 10 is a rectangular circuit board 10, and the first connector 20, the second connector 21, the third connector 22, and the fourth connector 23 are respectively arranged on the four side edges of the rectangular circuit board 10. It can be understood that distributing the connectors on the four side edges is beneficial to reducing the interference between the connectors, avoiding signal conflicts, and at the same time making the layout of the connection cables more neat and orderly, maximizing the use of the area of the circuit board 10 and reducing unnecessary space waste.
[0033] Specifically, the first connector 20, the second connector 21, the third connector 22, and the fourth connector 23 are respectively connectors conforming to the DDR4, DDR5, PCIE5.0, and GENZ standards. It should be explained that the connectors of the DDR4, DDR5, PCIE5.0, and GENZ standards belong to the prior art and will not be elaborated again. It can be understood that the design of this embodiment is based on the common peripheral interfaces of current server motherboards, so that the test board of this embodiment can adapt to the peripheral interfaces on most existing motherboards.
[0034] Specifically, the first connector 20, the second connector 21, the third connector 22, and the fourth connector 23 are all in the form of gold fingers. It can be understood that as a mature technology, the gold finger can provide a stable and reliable electrical connection with its unique contact design, ensuring the integrity and accuracy of signal transmission during the test. Moreover, it can withstand multiple insertions and extractions without being easily damaged, extending the service life of the test board.
[0035] Furthermore, the server internally contains various hardware components such as CPUs, memory, graphics cards, hard drives, etc. The power supply requirements of these components are different and require power supplies with different voltages. Based on the above considerations, in this embodiment, the power load ports on the circuit board 10 include at least two output interface groups with different output voltages. By providing interface groups with different output voltages, the power supply test requirements of each motherboard peripheral interface can be more precisely met.
[0036] Furthermore, the power load ports include a first output interface group 30, a second output interface group 31, a third output interface group 32, a fourth output interface group 33, and a fifth output interface group 34 that are set with different output voltages.
[0037] Specifically, the first output interface group 30 includes a 1.2V output interface and a first GND interface, the second output interface group 31 includes a 2.5V output interface and a second GND interface, the third output interface group 32 includes a 0.6V output interface and a third GND interface, the fourth output interface group 33 includes a 12V output interface and a fourth GND interface, and the fifth output interface group 34 includes a 3.3V output interface and a fifth GND interface. By designing multiple output interface groups with different output voltages, the voltages provided when each peripheral interface on the motherboard works properly can be accurately corresponded to, which helps to simulate the real working environment for more accurate testing and obtain more practically significant test data.
[0038] Furthermore, a Cable interface 24 is also provided on the circuit board 10, and the Cable interface 24 is used to connect cables.
[0039] Specifically, the Cable interface 24 includes at least a first interface of the HDD standard and a second interface of the CPU standard. It can be understood that HDD and CPU are one of the most common hardware components in servers. During the server testing process, by integrating the Cable interface 24 of the HDD and CPU standards, testers can easily connect the Cable interface 24 to the corresponding cable interface on the motherboard through a cable, making the test board of this embodiment have stronger compatibility and practicability.
[0040] Compared with the prior art, the server motherboard power load test board of the present utility model integrates multiple connectors of different standards on the circuit board to ensure a stable connection with the corresponding standard interfaces, enabling the test board to simulate the power supply requirements of various peripherals without relying on actual devices. Moreover, the design of the multi-standard connectors also enables the test board to simulate multiple test scenarios and meet different test requirements.
[0041] As described above, it is only the specific implementation manner of the present utility model, but the protection scope of the present utility model is not limited thereto. Any person skilled in the art within the technical scope disclosed by the present utility model can easily think of various equivalent modifications or substitutions, and these modifications or substitutions should all be covered within the protection scope of the present utility model. Therefore, the protection scope of the present utility model shall be subject to the protection scope of the claims.
