Furthermore, the terms "first," "second," etc., are used for descriptive purposes only and should not be construed as indicating or implying relative importance or implicitly specifying the number of indicated technical features. Thus, features defined with "first," "second," etc., may explicitly or implicitly include one or more of that feature. In the description of this utility model, unless otherwise stated, "a plurality of" means two or more.

[0027] In the description of this utility model, it should be noted that, unless otherwise explicitly specified and limited, the terms "installation," "connection," and "joining" should be interpreted broadly. For example, they can refer to a fixed connection, a detachable connection, or an integral connection; they can refer to a mechanical connection or an electrical connection; they can refer to a direct connection or an indirect connection through an intermediate medium; and they can refer to the internal connection of two components. Those skilled in the art can understand the specific meaning of the above terms in this utility model based on the specific circumstances. Examples

[0028] As shown in Figures 1 and 2, this embodiment provides a server, including a chassis 1, a first motherboard mounting slot 2, a second motherboard mounting slot 3, an expansion card mounting slot 4, and a cooling assembly 5.

[0029] The first motherboard mounting position 2 and the second motherboard mounting position 3 are installed inside the chassis 1. The expansion card mounting position 4 is installed on the back of the chassis 1, and the expansion card mounting position 4 corresponds to the first motherboard mounting position 2 and the second motherboard mounting position 3. The cooling component 5 is installed on the front of the chassis 1.

[0030] In the above technical solution, by setting two motherboard mounting positions—a first motherboard mounting plate 2 and a second motherboard mounting slot 3—with expansion card mounting slots 4 inside the chassis 1, the chassis 1 can be compatible with dual motherboards. This allows for flexible configuration of one or two motherboards to meet installation and usage needs. Furthermore, a sufficient number of expansion card mounting slots 4 can support various requirements under dual motherboard configurations, thereby effectively improving the user experience. Example

[0031] As shown in Figures 1 to 5, the server provided in this embodiment differs from the server provided in Embodiment 1 in that:

[0032] To enable the expansion card mounting slot 4 to support dual motherboards, the expansion card mounting slot 4 includes an I / O board module 401 and 22 PCIe slots 402. The I / O board module 401 and the 22 PCIe slots 402 are mounted from bottom to top on the back of the chassis 1. The I / O board module 401 is detachably connected to the chassis 1. The arrangement of the 22 PCIe slots 402 allows each motherboard to be configured with 5 GPU cards and 1 custom PCIe card in a dual motherboard configuration. The I / O board module 401 is located on the back of the chassis 1 and is detachably connected to the chassis 1, increasing adjustability.

[0033] To achieve the allocation of the first motherboard mounting position 2 and the second motherboard mounting position 3 within the chassis 1, a support plate 6 is also included. The support plate 6 is detachably installed within the chassis 1, and the first motherboard mounting position 2 and the second motherboard mounting position 3 are spaced apart on the support plate 6.

[0034] To provide power to the components inside the chassis 1, a power supply board 7 is also included. The power supply board 7 is installed inside the chassis 1, as shown in Figure 2. Power supplies A are installed on the power supply board 7. To meet the configuration requirements of dual motherboards, this embodiment is equipped with four sets of power supplies A.

[0035] To achieve heat dissipation of the internal structure of the chassis 1 by the cooling component 5, the cooling component 5 includes several fan frames 501, which are detachably installed on the front of the chassis 1, and cooling fans 502 are installed inside the fan frames 501.

[0036] To ensure effective heat dissipation in a dual-motherboard configuration, the number of fan frames 501 is eight.

[0037] To enable the connection and installation between the chassis 1 and the fan frame 501, a mounting frame 101 is also included. The mounting frame 101 is installed on the front of the chassis 1. There are eight mounting frames 101, each corresponding to one fan frame 501. A snap-fit ​​component is installed on the inner side of the mounting frame 101.

[0038] As shown in Figures 3 and 4, to achieve the connection between the mounting frame 101 and the fan frame 501 via the snap-fit ​​assembly, the snap-fit ​​assembly includes a snap-fit ​​strip 8, which is fixed to the four corners of the inner side of the mounting frame 101. The snap-fit ​​strip 8 has a threaded hole on its front side. The fan frame 501 has snap-fit ​​grooves 503 on its four corners that are adapted to the snap-fit ​​strip 8. A limit plate 504 is fixed to the front side of the snap-fit ​​groove 503. A limit bolt is threaded on the limit plate 504. The initial positioning and limiting between the fan frame 501 and the mounting frame 101 are achieved through the cooperation of the snap-fit ​​strip 8 and the snap-fit ​​groove 503. After the fan frame 501 and the mounting frame 101 are fully assembled, the limit plate 504 contacts the front side of the snap-fit ​​strip 8. At this time, the limiting bolt on the limit plate 504 can be connected to the threaded hole on the snap-fit ​​strip 8 to achieve complete limiting.

[0039] To facilitate the movement of the chassis 1, handles 9 are also included, which are fixed to both sides of the front of the chassis 1.

[0040] The above description is only a preferred embodiment of the present utility model. It should be noted that for those skilled in the art, several improvements and modifications can be made without departing from the technical principles of the present utility model, and these improvements and modifications should also be considered within the protection scope of the present utility model.
