Description

Supercomputing server device

[0001] This application claims priority to Chinese Patent Application No. 202410993911.2, filed on July 23, 2024, entitled “Supercomputing Server Device”, the entire contents of which are incorporated herein by reference. Technical Field

[0002] This disclosure relates to the field of supercomputing devices, and in particular to a supercomputing server device. Background Technology

[0003] With the development of network data applications and AI applications, the demand for supercomputing equipment with powerful data processing capabilities is increasing, and the requirements for supercomputing equipment are also constantly increasing.

[0004] Supercomputing servers, as crucial equipment in supercomputing, are in high demand both in terms of quantity and scale. For example, a large number of supercomputing servers need to be deployed in supercomputing server rooms. This necessitates optimization in various aspects, including the spatial layout, equipment maintenance, and ease of use of these servers. Summary of the Invention

[0005] In view of this, embodiments of the present disclosure provide a supercomputing server device to help optimize its footprint and improve the ease of hardware maintenance.

[0006] The technical solution of this disclosure embodiment is implemented as follows:

[0007] According to one aspect of the embodiments of this disclosure, a supercomputing server apparatus is provided, comprising:

[0008] A chassis, in which a computing module is installed;

[0009] A power supply box, mounted on the side panel of the chassis, containing a power module, and having a control board mounting port; and...

[0010] A control board module, wherein the control board module is installed at the control board mounting port.

[0011] In one embodiment, the control board mounting port is located on the front face of the power supply box and is adjacent to the chassis.

[0012] In one embodiment, the control board module includes:

[0013] A carrier plate, which is mounted on the mounting port of the control board;

[0014] A control board is fixed to the carrier board and electrically connected to the power module and the computing module via a data cable.

[0015] In one embodiment, the carrier plate includes:

[0016] A cover plate portion, wherein the cover plate portion is installed at the mounting port of the control panel;

[0017] Side plate portion, the side plate portion being perpendicular to the cover plate portion;

[0018] The control board is fixed to the side plate and faces the cover plate and the chassis.

[0019] In one embodiment, the power supply box is provided with auxiliary fasteners on two opposite edges of the control board mounting port, and the cover plate is mounted to the control board mounting port through the auxiliary fasteners.

[0020] In one embodiment, the side panel of the chassis has a cable slot, through which the data cable electrically connecting the control board module and the computing module enters the chassis from the side of the control board module.

[0021] In one embodiment, the power module is electrically connected to the computing module via a power supply copper busbar;

[0022] The side panel of the chassis has a copper busbar slot, through which the power supply copper busbar enters the chassis from one side of the power supply box.

[0023] In one embodiment, the power supply box has an opening on the side panel facing the chassis side panel, through which the power supply copper busbars electrically connecting the power module and the computing module, as well as the data cables electrically connecting the control board module and the computing module, are led out from the power supply box.

[0024] In one embodiment, the power supply box is mounted to the side panel of the chassis via an auxiliary fixing assembly, the auxiliary fixing assembly comprising:

[0025] A support bar is provided on the side panel of the chassis and extends linearly along the front-rear direction of the chassis. The support bar has a groove, and the extending direction of the groove is the same as the extending direction of the support bar.

[0026] A hook is provided on the power supply box side panel facing the chassis side panel, and the position of the hook matches the position of the support bar, and the hook is hooked in the groove;

[0027] The first fixing flange is formed by extending outward from the top plate of the chassis towards the power supply box, and at least one first mounting hole is provided on the first fixing flange;

[0028] A second fixing flange extends outward from the top plate of the power supply box towards the chassis, and overlaps the first fixing flange. The second fixing flange has at least one second mounting hole, the position of which matches that of the first mounting hole.

[0029] Fasteners, which are inserted into the first mounting hole and the second mounting hole.

[0030] In one embodiment, the supercomputing server device further includes:

[0031] A first fan module is mounted on the front face of the chassis; a first fan connection terminal is provided on the front face of the power supply box adjacent to the front face of the chassis, and the power supply control cable of the first fan module is electrically connected to the first fan connection terminal; and / or,

[0032] The second fan module is installed on the rear end face of the chassis; the rear end face of the power supply box adjacent to the rear end face of the chassis is provided with a second fan connection terminal, and the power supply control cable of the second fan module is electrically connected to the second fan connection terminal.

[0033] As can be seen from the above scheme, the supercomputing server device of this disclosure optimizes the installation position of the control board module by integrating it into the power supply box. Compared with a separate layout of the control board module, this saves space occupied by the control board module, which helps optimize the overall space occupied by the supercomputing server and facilitates rapid assembly and disassembly of the supercomputing server device on-site. The control board module is located at the front face of the power supply box, which facilitates on-site assembly and disassembly, especially when a large number of supercomputing server devices are arranged in racks or cabinets. On-site personnel do not need to remove the supercomputing server devices from the racks or cabinets; they can simply face the supercomputing server devices to install the control board module on the front face of the power supply box, or remove the control board module from the front face of the power supply box, thus reducing the difficulty of on-site assembly and disassembly. When the control board module is installed in the control board mounting port, the cover can become part of the front panel of the power supply box, thus maintaining the overall simplicity of the power supply box's appearance and improving the integration of the power supply box and the control board module. In the supercomputing server device of this disclosure, when the power supply box together with the control board module is installed on the side panel of the chassis, the power supply copper busbar and data cable are shielded and protected inside the power supply box and chassis, becoming the internal wiring of the supercomputing server device. There is no need to set up an additional shield to shield and protect the power supply copper busbar, which helps to simplify the supercomputing server device and reduces the potential risks such as easy damage caused by the power supply copper busbar and data cable being exposed outside the supercomputing server device.

[0043] To make the objectives, technical solutions, and advantages of this disclosure clearer, the following detailed description is provided with reference to the accompanying drawings and embodiments.

[0044] It should be noted that the terms "first," "second," etc., in the specification, claims, and drawings of this disclosure are used to distinguish similar objects and are not necessarily used to describe a specific order or sequence.

[0045] To facilitate hardware installation and maintenance, supercomputing servers, such as air-cooled supercomputing servers, typically adopt a modular design. The supercomputing server is broken down into three parts: a computing power module, a control module, and a power supply module. In air-cooled supercomputing servers, the fan modules that dissipate heat from the computing power modules can usually be directly installed on the computing power module components. During on-site installation, the three parts can be assembled directly.

[0046] In related technologies, computing power module components, control module components, and power supply module components are usually housed in separate enclosures. During assembly, the power supply module enclosure is fixed to one side of the computing power module enclosure (e.g., the left or right side of the computing power module enclosure), and the control module enclosure is fixed to another side of the computing power module enclosure (e.g., the top of the computing power module enclosure). The computing power module components, control module components, and power supply module components are then connected via power cables, data cables, etc.

[0047] This design approach reduces the difficulty of on-site equipment installation, disassembly, and maintenance. The modular design also facilitates repair. For example, when a power module fails, it is only necessary to remove the power module assembly box from the supercomputing server for replacement, or to repair the individual power modules within the removed power module assembly box.

[0048] However, this design approach also has some problems and room for further optimization. For example, in this design, the computing power module enclosure, power supply module enclosure, and control module enclosure each occupy a certain amount of independent space. The overall space occupied by the assembled supercomputing server is determined by the layout of these three enclosures and the space occupied by each enclosure. When deploying supercomputing servers on a large scale in a supercomputing service center, given the limited space in the server room, as the number of supercomputing servers increases, the server room will find it difficult to accommodate more servers. Therefore, space optimization for supercomputing servers needs further improvement. In addition, in this design, the power and control cables connecting the computing power module, control module, and power supply module are usually laid outside the computing power module enclosure, power supply module enclosure, and control module enclosure. With a large number of supercomputing servers, the numerous external cables not only make the site messy but also interfere with the installation and maintenance of the supercomputing servers.

[0049] In view of this, the present disclosure provides a supercomputing server device that further integrates the control board module and the power supply module to optimize the space of the supercomputing server. It also employs a concealed wiring design, achieving power supply and control connections between the computing power module, power supply module, and control board module within the supercomputing server device while maintaining their independence and detachability. This meets the requirements for miniaturization and simplification of supercomputing servers, helps server rooms accommodate more supercomputing servers, and facilitates convenient on-site installation and maintenance.

[0050] Figure 1 is a front-side view structural diagram of a supercomputing server device according to an embodiment of this disclosure; Figure 2 is a rear-side view structural diagram of the supercomputing server device according to an embodiment of this disclosure; and Figure 3 is an exploded structural diagram of the supercomputing server device according to an embodiment of this disclosure. As shown in Figures 1, 2, and 3, the supercomputing server device mainly includes a chassis 1, a power supply box 2, and a control board module 3. The chassis 1 houses a computing power module 14, and in the illustrative embodiment, at least one computing power module 14 is present. The power supply box 2 is mounted to the side panel 13 of the chassis 1 via auxiliary fixing components. A power supply module is installed inside the power supply box 2, and the power supply box 2 has a control board mounting port 21 (the area highlighted by the dashed line on the left in Figures 3 and 5). The control board module 3 is mounted in the control board mounting port 21.

[0051] The supercomputing server device of this disclosure optimizes the installation position of the control board module 3 by integrating the control board module 3 into the power supply box 2. Compared with the separate layout of the control board module 3, this saves the space occupied by the control board module 3 and helps to optimize the space occupied by the supercomputing server as a whole.

[0052] As shown in Figures 1, 2, and 3, in the illustrative embodiment, the control board mounting port 21 is located on the front face of the power supply box 2 and adjacent to the chassis 1. With the control board mounting port 21 located on the front face of the power supply box 2, and the control board module 3 mounted on the control board mounting port 21, the control board module 3 is positioned on the front face of the power supply box 2. This structure facilitates the installation and removal of the control board module 3 on-site, especially when a large number of supercomputing server devices are arranged in racks or cabinets. On-site personnel do not need to remove the supercomputing server devices from the racks or cabinets; they can simply face the supercomputing server devices to install the control board module 3 on the front face of the power supply box 2, or remove the control board module 3 from the front face of the power supply box 2, thus reducing the difficulty of on-site installation and removal of the control board module 3.

[0053] Figure 4 is a schematic diagram of the control board module in an embodiment of this disclosure. As shown in Figure 4, and in conjunction with Figures 1 and 3, in the illustrative embodiment, the control board module 3 includes a carrier board 31 and a control board 32. The carrier board 31 is snap-fitted into the control board mounting opening 21. The control board 32 is fixed to the carrier board 31 and electrically connected to the power module and the computing module 14 via a data cable. In the illustrative embodiment, the carrier board 31 includes a cover plate portion 311 and a side carrier plate portion 312. The cover plate portion 311 is snap-fitted into the control board mounting opening 21. The side carrier plate portion 312 is perpendicular to the cover plate portion 311. In the illustrative embodiment, the side carrier plate portion 312 and the cover plate portion 311 have an "L" shaped cross-section. The control board 32 is fixed to the side carrier plate portion 312 and faces the cover plate portion 311 and the chassis 1; that is, the control board 32 faces the internal space of the "L" shaped configuration. In this way, when the control board module 3 is installed on the control board mounting port 21, the cover plate 311 can become part of the front panel of the power supply box 2, thus maintaining the overall simplicity of the power supply box 2's appearance and improving the integration of the power supply box 2 and the control board module 3. Furthermore, the "L"-shaped carrier plate 31 provides sufficient space between the cover plate 311 and the side carrier plate 312, which helps with heat dissipation of the control board 32 and can be used to accommodate redundant data and power cables. In an illustrative embodiment, the external ports of the supercomputing server device can be located on the cover plate 311, such as network cable ports, USB ports, etc.

[0054] Figure 5 is a structural schematic diagram of the power supply box from the front side view in an embodiment of this disclosure. As shown in Figure 5 and in conjunction with Figure 3, in the illustrative embodiment, the power supply box 2 is provided with auxiliary fixing members 211 on two opposite edges (e.g., the upper edge and the lower edge) of the control board mounting port 21, and the cover plate 311 is mounted to the control board mounting port 21 through the auxiliary fixing members 211.

[0055] The auxiliary fastener 211 can be configured in different forms as needed. This disclosure provides one such design. As shown in Figures 3 and 5, in an illustrative embodiment, the auxiliary fastener 211 located above the control board mounting opening 21 can be, for example, a folded edge formed by bending the top plate of the power supply box 2 towards the control board mounting opening 21, with threaded holes on the folded edge. The auxiliary fastener 211 located below the control board mounting opening 21 can be, for example, an extension edge formed by extending the lower front plate of the power supply box 2 towards the control board mounting opening 21, with threaded holes on the extension edge. Furthermore, the cover plate 311 has threaded holes that match the positions of the threaded holes on the folded edge and the extension edge. The cover plate 311 can be installed in the control board mounting opening 21 using screws inserted into the threaded holes. In other embodiments, the threaded holes can be replaced with through holes, and correspondingly, the screws can be replaced with other components that can be inserted into the through holes to allow the cover plate 311 to be installed in the control board mounting opening 21, such as fixing pins, etc.

[0056] In the illustrative embodiment, the threaded holes on the folded edge and the threaded holes on the extended edge face the front of the supercomputing server device, thereby facilitating the on-site disassembly and assembly of the control board module 3 using tools such as screwdrivers and taking advantage of the ample space in front of the supercomputing server device (where the on-site staff are located).

[0057] Figure 6 is a structural schematic diagram of the chassis from the front side view in this embodiment of the present disclosure. As shown in Figure 6 and in conjunction with Figure 3, the side panel 13 of the chassis has a cable tray 11. The data cable (not shown in the figure) connecting the control board module 3 and the computing module 14 enters the chassis 1 from the control board 32 side through the cable tray 11. With this structure, when the power supply box 2, together with the control board module 3, is installed on the side panel 13 of the chassis 1, the data cable connecting the control board module 3 to the computing module 14 is shielded and protected inside the power supply box 2 and the chassis 1, becoming internal wiring of the supercomputing server device. This helps to simplify the supercomputing server device and reduces the potential risks such as easy damage caused by data cables being exposed outside the supercomputing server device.

[0058] As shown in Figure 6 and in conjunction with Figure 3, the power module is electrically connected to the computing module 14 via a power supply copper busbar 4. In the illustrative embodiment, the side panel 13 of the chassis has a copper busbar slot 12, through which the power supply copper busbar 4 enters the chassis 1 from the side of the power supply box 2. With this structure, when the power supply box 2 is installed on the side panel 13 of the chassis 1, the power supply copper busbar 4 is shielded and protected inside the power supply box 2 and the chassis 1, becoming an internal wiring of the supercomputing server device. This contributes to the simplification of the supercomputing server device and eliminates the need for an additional shield to protect the power supply copper busbar 4, thus reducing the potential risks of damage caused by the power supply copper busbar 4 being exposed outside the supercomputing server device.

[0059] Figure 7 is an enlarged structural diagram of the support bar and copper busbar slot in Figure 6. As shown in Figures 3, 6, and 7, in the illustrative embodiment, the opening of the slot faces the front of the chassis 1 and extends towards the rear of the chassis 1. The slot includes the aforementioned cable slot 11 and copper busbar slot 12. That is, the openings of both the cable slot 11 and the copper busbar slot 12 face the front of the chassis 1, and both extend towards the rear of the chassis 1. This structure facilitates inserting the power supply copper busbar 4 and data cables into the copper busbar slot 12 and cable slot 11 before installing the fan module, helping to reduce the assembly difficulty of the wiring related to the computing module 14 inside the chassis 1.

[0060] As shown in Figure 5, in the illustrative embodiment, the power supply box 2 has an opening 221 on the power supply box side panel 22 facing the chassis side panel 13 (the area within the dashed box on the right in Figure 5). The power supply copper busbar 4, which electrically connects the power supply module and the computing power module 14, and the data cable, which electrically connects the control board module 3 and the computing power module 14, are all led out from the power supply box 2 through the opening 221. When the control board module 3 is installed on the power supply box 2, the cover plate 311 of the control board module 3 will cover the front end of the power supply box 2, and the opening 221 of the power supply box side panel 22 faces the chassis side panel 13. Thus, the opening 221 is located inside the entire supercomputing server device. The power supply copper busbar 4 and the data cable are led out from the power supply box 2 through the opening 221 and enter the chassis 1 and connect to the computing power module 14 through the cable slots 11 and copper busbar slots 12 of the chassis side panel 13. The cooperation between opening 221, cable tray 11, and copper busbar tray 12 enables the wiring connection of power supply copper busbar 4 and data cable inside the supercomputing server device. Furthermore, the design structure of opening 221 ensures that sufficient space is provided, which to some extent helps to improve the convenience of on-site personnel in installing and connecting power supply copper busbar 4 and data cable.

[0061] To facilitate the assembly and disassembly of the power supply box 2 on-site, this embodiment employs a structural design that allows the power supply box 2 to be pulled out in the front-to-back direction and hooked onto the side panel 13 of the chassis. This structure is achieved by an auxiliary fixing component. As shown in Figures 5 and 6, in the illustrative embodiment, the auxiliary fixing component includes a support bar 131, a hook 222, a first fixing part 132, a second fixing part 223, and a locking member. The support bar 131 is disposed on the side panel 13 of the chassis and extends linearly along the front-to-back direction of the chassis 1. As shown in Figure 7, in the illustrative embodiment, the support bar 131 has a groove 1311, the extension direction of which is the same as the extension direction of the support bar 131. The hook 222 is disposed on the side panel 22 of the power supply box 2 facing the side panel 13 of the chassis, and the position of the hook 222 matches the position of the support bar 131. The hook 222 is hooked into the groove 1311 and has the freedom to slide along the extension direction of the groove 1311 (i.e., the front-to-back direction). The first fixing part 132 extends outward from the top plate of the chassis 1 towards the power supply box 2, and a first locking hole 1321 is provided on the first fixing part 132. In the illustrative embodiment, the first fixing part 132 is flange-type. The second fixing part 223 extends outward from the top plate of the power supply box 2 towards the chassis 1, and the second fixing part 223 overlaps the first fixing part 132. The second fixing part 223 is provided with a second locking hole 2231, and the number of the second locking holes 2231 is equal to that of the first locking holes 1321 and their positions are matched. A locking member (not shown in the figure) passes through the first locking hole 1321 and the second locking hole 2231. In the illustrative embodiment, the locking member can be a screw or a retaining pin. When the locking member is a screw, the first locking hole 1321 and the second locking hole 2231 are threaded holes; when the locking member is a retaining pin, the first locking hole 1321 and the second locking hole 2231 are through holes.

[0062] Figure 8 is an enlarged structural schematic diagram of the hook part in Figure 5. As shown in Figures 7 and 8, in the illustrative embodiment, the opening 221 of the groove 1311 faces upward and the hook 222 faces downward, so that when the power supply box 2 is installed in the chassis 1, the hook 222 is hooked in the groove 1311. With this structure, when installing the power supply box 2, it is only necessary to slightly raise the power supply box 2 so that the hook 222 is slightly higher than the edge of the groove 1311, and then lower the power supply box 2 after it is close to the chassis 1. The hook 222 can then be hooked into the groove 1311. Since the support bar 131 adopts a straight extension design structure and the hook 222 has the freedom to slide along the extension direction of the groove 1311 (i.e., the front-back direction), it is not necessary to align the power supply box 2 and the chassis 1 in the front-back direction when hooking. After hooking, the alignment of the power supply box 2 and the chassis 1 in the front-back direction can be easily achieved by pushing and pulling the power supply box 2 in the front-back direction, which helps to reduce the difficulty of on-site installation of the supercomputing server device.

[0063] As shown in Figure 8, in the illustrative embodiment, the hook 222 can adopt a multi-segment structure design to facilitate sliding within the groove 1311. In other embodiments, the hook 222 can also adopt a single-segment extension structure design, similar to the support bar 131. In the illustrative embodiment, when the hook 222 adopts a single-segment extension structure design, the support bar 131 can adopt either a single-segment extension structure design as shown in Figure 6, or a multi-segment structure design similar to the hook 222 shown in Figure 5. The key is that the support bar 131 and the hook 222 fit well together and ensure that the hook 222 slides along the extension direction (i.e., the front-to-back direction) of the groove 1311 without detaching.

[0064] During on-site installation, the installer lifts the power supply box 2 so that the hook 222 is slightly higher than the edge of the groove 1311. Then, the power supply box 2 is lowered close to the chassis 1, allowing the hook 222 to engage with the groove 1311. The power supply box 2 is then pushed and pulled back and forth to align the first locking hole 1321 and the second locking hole 2231. The locking element is then inserted into the first locking hole 1321 and the second locking hole 2231 to complete the installation between the power supply box 2 and the chassis 1. Disassembly is the reverse process: the locking element is pulled out of the first locking hole 1321 and the second locking hole 2231, and then the power supply box 2 is pulled out. Alternatively, the power supply box 2 can be slightly raised and pulled out. The entire process does not require moving the entire supercomputing server device, making the operation flexible and simple.

[0065] Because chassis 1, power supply box 2, and control board module 3 require the connection of power supply copper busbar 4 and data cable, the above operations are performed with the power supply copper busbar 4 and data cable disconnected. When connecting the power supply copper busbar 4 and data cable, simply remove the control board module 3 from the power supply box 2 and plug in the power supply copper busbar 4 and data cable through the control board mounting port 21 of the power supply box 2 (one end of the power supply copper busbar 4 and data cable inside chassis 1 can be pre-connected to the computing module 14 inside chassis 1). The copper busbar connector for the power module can be installed inside the control board mounting port 21. When the power supply box 2 is attached to chassis 1, the power connector of the power supply copper busbar 4 and the control board 32 connector of the data cable can enter the internal space of the control board mounting port 21 through the opening 221 on the side panel 22 of the power supply box. This facilitates the subsequent insertion of the power connector of the power supply copper busbar 4 into the copper busbar connector and the connection of the control board 32 connector of the data cable to the control board module 3.

[0066] In the illustrative embodiment, the power module and the control board 32 are connected by a power supply cable inside the power supply box 2. In the illustrative embodiment, the data cable and power supply cable can be provided with a redundant length inside the power supply box 2, allowing sufficient operating space for field personnel to plug and unplug the data cable and power supply cable when the control board module 3 is removed from the power supply box 2.

[0067] As shown in Figures 1 and 2, in the illustrative embodiment, the supercomputing server device further includes a first fan module 51 and a second fan module 52. The first fan module 51 is installed on the front face of the chassis 1, and the second fan module 52 is installed on the rear face of the chassis 1. The front face of the power supply box 2, adjacent to the front face of the chassis 1, is provided with a first fan connection terminal 231, and the power supply control cable of the first fan module 51 is electrically connected to the first fan connection terminal 231. The rear face of the power supply box 2, adjacent to the rear face of the chassis 1, is provided with a second fan connection terminal 232, and the power supply control cable of the second fan module 52 is electrically connected to the second fan connection terminal 232. Inside the power supply box 2, the first fan connection terminal 231 and the second fan connection terminal 232 are electrically connected to the power module. The installation of the first fan module 51 precisely blocks the openings of the cable tray 11 and the copper busbar tray 12, thereby shielding and protecting the data cables and power supply copper busbar 4 within the power supply box 2 and the chassis 1.

[0068] On the front and rear sides of the power supply box 2, corresponding to the first fan module 51 and the second fan module 52 at the front and rear ends of the chassis 1, first fan connection terminals 231 and second fan connection terminals 232 are respectively provided. For ease of installation and maintenance, the first fan connection terminals 231 and second fan connection terminals 232 are of the same specification, thus allowing the power supply control cables on the front and rear sides of the power supply box 2 to use the same specification for easy assembly and disassembly. Furthermore, the first fan module 51 and the second fan module 52 at the front and rear ends of the chassis 1 are directly connected to the power module via the first fan connection terminals 231 and second fan connection terminals 232, respectively. This achieves close connection between the first fan module 51 and the second fan module 52 and the power module, shortening the length of the power supply control cables on the front and rear sides of the power supply box 2. Moreover, it eliminates the need for additional adapter boards, simplifying the connection structure and facilitating on-site operations between the fan modules and the power module.

[0069] In the illustrative embodiment, both the first fan module 51 and the second fan module 52 include at least one fan. The size and number of fans can be set according to the size of the chassis 1. For example, in the embodiments of the present disclosure, both the first fan module 51 and the second fan module 52 include two fans. In other embodiments, the supercomputing server device may include only the first fan module 51 or the second fan module 52, and the number and position of the fan modules can be determined according to actual requirements.

[0070] When disassembling the control board module 3 in the field using the supercomputing server device of this disclosure, it is only necessary to remove the cover plate 311 from the front of the supercomputing server device. Because the data cables and power cables have a reserved redundant length, the control board module 3 can be pulled out a certain distance. Then, the data cables and power cables can be unplugged from the corresponding connectors on the control board 32. Conversely, when installing the control board module 3 in the field, the data cables and power cables are first plugged into the connectors on the control board 32. Then, the cover plate 311 is installed in the control board mounting port 21. The redundant length of the data cables and power cables can be placed inside the space of the control board mounting port 21.

[0071] When disassembling the power supply box 2 on-site using the supercomputing server device of this disclosure, the cover plate 311 is first removed from the front of the supercomputing server device. Then, the data cable is pulled out from the corresponding plug-in terminal on the control board 32. The locking member is removed from the first fixing part 132 and the second fixing part 223. By pushing the power supply box 2 (for example, pushing it to the rear of the supercomputing server device), displacement is generated between the power supply box 2 and the chassis 1, thereby causing the power supply copper busbar 4 to detach from its power plug-in terminal (or the power supply copper busbar 4 can be manually pulled out from its power plug-in terminal). After that, the hook 222 is detached from the support bar 131, thereby completing the separation between the power supply box 2 and the chassis 1. During the on-site installation of the power supply box 2, the power supply box 2 is moved to hook the mounting hook 222 onto the support bar 131. Then, by pushing the power supply box 2 (e.g., pushing it forward of the supercomputing server device), displacement is created between the power supply box 2 and the chassis 1, causing the power supply copper busbar 4 to be inserted into its power connector as the power supply box 2 moves (this can also be done manually). Then, the locking element is inserted into the first locking hole 1321 and the second locking hole 2231. After this, the control board module 3 can be installed according to the above instructions.

[0072] The supercomputing server device of this embodiment optimizes the installation position of the control board module 3 by integrating it into the power supply box 2. Compared with a separate layout of the control board module 3, this saves space and helps optimize the overall space occupied by the supercomputing server. It also facilitates rapid assembly and disassembly of the supercomputing server device on-site. The control board module 3 is located at the front end of the power supply box 2, which facilitates on-site assembly and disassembly, especially when a large number of supercomputing server devices are arranged in racks or cabinets. On-site personnel do not need to remove the supercomputing server devices from the racks or cabinets; they can simply face the supercomputing server devices to install the control board module 3 on the front end of the power supply box 2, or remove the control board module 3 from the front end of the power supply box 2, thus reducing the difficulty of on-site assembly and disassembly of the control board module 3. When the control board module 3 is installed on the control board mounting port 21, the cover plate 311 can become part of the front panel of the power supply box 2, thereby maintaining the overall simplicity of the power supply box 2 and helping to improve the integration of the power supply box 2 and the control board module 3. In the supercomputing server device of this embodiment, when the power supply box 2 together with the control board module 3 is installed on the chassis side panel 13 of the chassis 1, the power supply copper busbar 4 and the data cable are shielded and protected inside the power supply box 2 and the chassis 1, becoming the internal wiring of the supercomputing server device. There is no need to set up an additional protective cover to shield the power supply copper busbar 4, which helps to simplify the supercomputing server device and reduces the potential risks such as easy damage caused by the power supply copper busbar 4 and data cable being exposed outside the supercomputing server device.

[0073] The above are merely embodiments of this disclosure and are not intended to limit this disclosure. Any modifications, equivalent substitutions, improvements, etc., made within the spirit and principles of this disclosure should be included within the scope of protection of this disclosure.
