Trapezoidal Notch GPU Casing for 2U Host Staggered Arrangement
Find Innovative SolutionsGenerate Solutions
Solution Overview
Problem
Conventional 2U host casings can only accommodate two GPUs due to limited internal space, which is insufficient for meeting the computational demands of AI technology, and increasing the number of casings adds complexity and cost.
Innovation Solution
A GPU with a unique trapezoidal notch casing design allows for staggered arrangement of GPUs, enabling four GPUs to be densely packed in a standard 2U host casing by optimizing space utilization and airflow, while integrating components and cables within the casing.

Engineering Contradiction Analysis
1Quantity of substance
If conventional rectangular GPU casings are used in a 2U host casing, then the structure is simple and easy to manufacture, but only two GPUs can be accommodated due to limited space
Solution Approach 1:
The GPU casing employs an asymmetric design with a trapezoidal notch at one corner, breaking the conventional rectangular symmetry. This asymmetric shape enables staggered arrangement of GPUs in the host casing, optimizing space utilization and allowing four GPUs to be accommodated within the limited 2U space while maintaining structural integrity and ease of manufacture.
2Productivity
If more GPUs are installed to meet AI computational demands, then processing capacity increases, but space efficiency decreases and installation complexity increases
Solution Approach 1:
The host casing is divided into distinct regions: a front area for hard disk and fan assemblies, and a rear area for GPU and CPU assemblies. The GPU casing's trapezoidal notch enables compact staggered arrangement within the rear area, allowing four GPUs to be installed in an optimized configuration that improves processing capacity while maintaining manageable installation complexity through clear spatial organization.

AI summary
The disclosure relates to computer technical field, and provides a GPU with specific shape of casing and a host casing hardware configuration. Body of the casing of the GPU includes a rectangle of a notch, the notch is located on a corner of the rectangle and is in a right trapezoid shape. In the host casing hardware configuration, the 2U host casing is divided into front area and rear area; hard disk assembly and fan assembly are disposed on the front area; the rear area is divided into top area and bottom area; 4 GPUs and a GPU tray are disposed on the top area in a staggered relationship, and motherboard and CUP and motherboard connector disposed on the motherboard are disposed on bottom area. The disclosure provides an advantage of improving the arrangement density of the components in the host casing.
