Description

Technical Field

[0001] This utility model relates to the field of RAID card technology, and in particular to a structure for an external M.2 slot of a RAID card that conforms to the PCIE standard. Background Technology

[0002] In the current RAID cards available in the industry, replacing SSD solid-state drives is relatively cumbersome. PCIe cards, which are usually inserted inside the machine, cannot quickly replace SSD solid-state drives, often requiring a lot of repair and testing time. At the same time, the RAID cards on the market cannot support enterprise-grade SSDs, that is, 22110 form factor solid-state drives. Many RAID cards that support external hot-swapping are bulky and cannot support dual 22110 form factor hot-swapping on a 2U chassis PCIe card.

[0003] Therefore, existing technologies have shortcomings and need to be improved. Utility Model Content

[0004] The purpose of this invention is to overcome the shortcomings of the prior art and provide a structure for an external M.2 slot for a RAID card that conforms to the PCIE standard.

[0005] The technical solution of this utility model is as follows: This utility model provides a structure for an external M.2 slot of a RAID card that conforms to the PCIE standard, including: a PCBA board, a guide rail, and a pull-out body. The PCBA board has a PCIE interface, the guide rail is mounted on the PCBA board, a baffle is provided at one end of the PCBA board, and two M.2 slots are provided on the PCBA board. The guide rail includes two sets of guide grooves, and the two pull-out bodies are correspondingly arranged on the guide grooves. Each pull-out body supports the installation of a 22110 solid-state drive, and the pull-out body can drive the solid-state drive installed on it to move along the direction of the guide groove to insert or remove it from the corresponding M.2 slot. The baffle has a clearance groove corresponding to the pull-out body.

[0006] Furthermore, the pull-out body is also equipped with a heat dissipation component for cooling the solid-state drive.

[0007] Furthermore, the heat dissipation assembly includes a heat sink and a thermally conductive silicone pad, wherein the thermally conductive silicone pad is disposed between the heat sink and the solid-state drive.

[0008] Furthermore, a handle is installed at the end of the pull-out body, and the handle protrudes from the baffle.

[0009] Furthermore, the guide rail is mounted on the pull-out body using countersunk screws.

[0010] The advantages of this utility model by adopting the above solution are as follows: the guide rail and pull-out body are set on the PCBA board, the overall structure is simplified and efficient, which not only facilitates hot-swapping of solid-state drives, but also supports solid-state drives of the 22110 specification, making it convenient for use and maintenance.

[0015] The present invention will be described in detail below with reference to the accompanying drawings and specific embodiments.

[0016] Please refer to the following: Figures 1 to 4 In this embodiment, the present invention provides a structure for an external M.2 slot of a RAID card conforming to the PCIE standard, including: a PCBA board 7, a guide rail 1, and a pull-out body 2. The PCBA board 7 has a PCIE interface, the guide rail 1 is mounted on the PCBA board 7, a baffle 5 is provided at one end of the PCBA board 7, and two M.2 slots are provided on the PCBA board 7. The guide rail 1 includes two sets of guide grooves, and two pull-out bodies 2 are correspondingly arranged on the guide grooves. Each pull-out body 2 supports the installation of a 22110 solid-state drive 6, and the pull-out body 2 can drive the solid-state drive 6 installed on it to move along the direction of the guide groove to insert or remove it from the corresponding M.2 slot. The baffle 5 has a clearance groove corresponding to the pull-out body 2 to allow the pull-out body 2 to move.

[0017] Furthermore, the pull-out body 2 is also equipped with a heat dissipation component 4 for cooling the solid-state drive 6. The heat dissipation component 4 includes a heat sink (SSD-Heatsink) and a thermal conductive silicone pad. The thermal conductive silicone pad is placed between the heat sink and the solid-state drive 6. The thermal conductive silicone pad with the corresponding heat dissipation coefficient can be selected according to the specific solid-state drive 6 used to ensure good heat dissipation effect.

[0018] Furthermore, a handle 3 is installed at the end of the pull-out body 2, and the handle 3 protrudes from the baffle 5. By setting the handle 3, it is easier to pull out the pull-out body 2.

[0019] Furthermore, the guide rail 1 is installed on the pull-out body 2 with countersunk screws, which enhances the aesthetics and also avoids affecting the normal operation of the pull-out body 2.

[0020] Please continue to refer to the following: Figures 1 to 4 In this solution, the structure 10 is installed on the chassis 20, so that the PCBA board 7 is inserted into the motherboard inside the chassis 20. The pull-out body 2 can be pulled out of the chassis 20 by the handle 3, thereby pulling out the solid-state drive 6 set on the pull-out body 2, which facilitates replacement, maintenance and other operations, and supports hot-swapping of the fixed hard drive.

[0021] In summary, the advantages of this solution are as follows: by setting guide rails and pull-out body on the PCBA board, the overall structure is simplified and efficient, which not only facilitates hot-swapping of solid-state drives, but also supports 22110 form factor solid-state drives, making them convenient to use and repair.

[0022] The above are merely preferred embodiments of the present utility model and are not intended to limit the present utility model. Any modifications, equivalent substitutions, and improvements made within the spirit and principles of the present utility model should be included within the protection scope of the present utility model.
