  • Patent number: 9329645
    Abstract: A server system includes a rack, multiple servers, an electrically conductive component, a switch, a rack management controller and a power supply. The rack has a first storage area, a middle storage area and a second storage area. The servers are positioned in the first storage area and the second storage area. The electrically conductive component is installed inside the rack and includes a first power supply part disposed in the first storage area and a second power supply part disposed in the second storage area. The switch is installed in the middle storage area. The rack management controller is installed in the middle storage area. The power supply, installed in the middle storage area, is electrically connected to the rack management controller and the switch which is disposed farther away from the electrically conductive component than the power supply.

  • Patent number: 9058150
    Abstract: A server, for being disposed in a server cabinet removably, includes a shell, a mother board, a power input port and a connecting element. The mother board is disposed in the shell. The power input port, disposed on the shell, is electrically connected to the mother board. The power input port is used for inputting power to the mother board. The connecting element is disposed on the power input port and electrically connected to the mother board. The connecting element is used for making the mother board communicate with a rack management controller so the rack management controller determines the position of the server in the server cabinet according to the communication. With the server removed from the server cabinet, the power input port and the connecting element are separated from the electrically conductive component and the one of the connectors, respectively, to stop the electrical connection.

  • Patent number: 9019701
    Abstract: A rack server system includes a container, an electrically conductive component, a power supply, a signal connecting base, a server, and an RMC. The electrically conductive component and the signal connecting base are fixed in the container. The power supply is electrically connected to the electrically conductive component for supplying a direct current power. The signal connecting base includes multiple connectors. The server, disposed in the container removably, includes a power input port and a connecting element. The power input port is electrically connected to the electrically conductive component removably. The connecting element is connected to the connector removably. When the connecting element is electrically connected to the connector, the RMC communicates with the server via the connecting element and the one of the connectors and determines the position of the server in the container according to another position of the connector which is electrically connected to the server.

  • Patent number: 8964386
    Abstract: A server system includes a rack, a server disposed in the rack, an electronic device and a power supply disposed in the rack. The rack includes a first side and a second side opposite to each other, two first brackets, two second brackets and two lateral rails. Each first brackets, disposed at the first side, includes a heat-dissipation part. Each heat-dissipation part includes at least one ventilating perforation. The second brackets are disposed at the second side. The electronic device is disposed between the lateral rails and at the first side. The power supply is disposed between the two lateral rails and at the second side and includes a main body and at least one fan. The main body includes a plurality of through openings facing the ventilating perforations. The at least one fan draws airstreams from the ventilating perforations via the through openings.

  • Publication number: 20140085802
    Abstract: A server comprises a cabinet and a host module placed inside or taken outside the cabinet along a rail. The host module comprises a supporting tray, a motherboard, a system storage device, a processing module and a stored data controlling module. The motherboard and the system storage device are disposed in the supporting tray and are electrically connected with each other. The processing module for executing an operating system stored in the system storage device is electrically connected to the system storage device via the motherboard. The stored data controlling module is disposed in the supporting tray and electrically connected to the motherboard. When the host module is placed inside the cabinet, the stored data controlling module is electrically connected to a data storage device. The stored data controlling module is controlled by the processing module to access data from or store data in the data storage device.
