  • Patent number: 8736117
    Abstract: A server rack system includes a rack, a power transmission module, a power supply module, and operating units. The power transmission module configured at the rack includes first, second, and third conductive pillars. When the power supply module slidably configured in the rack is completely installed in the rack, the power supply module electrically connects the first, second, and third conductive pillars to receive high-voltage direct-current (DC) electric power through the first conductive pillar electrically connecting an external power supply. When the operating units slidably configured in the rack are completely installed in the rack, the operating units electrically connect the second and third conductive pillars.

  • Patent number: 8730662
    Abstract: A server rack system includes a rack, servers, and a heat-dissipating wall. The rack has guiding rails, a front end, and a rear end opposite to the front end. The servers slidably configured on the guiding rails and in the rack are adapted for being moved into or out of the rack from the front end. The heat-dissipating wall is pivoted to the rear end and adapted for being folded against or unfolded away from the rear end. The heat-dissipating wall includes a fan wall. Fans lie on the fan wall. The fans are adapted for sucking cool air, such that the cool air enters the rack from the front end and passes through the servers. Heat exchange between the cool air and the servers is carried out to generate hot air that flows out of the rack through the heat-dissipating wall to dissipate heat of the servers.

  • Patent number: 8730679
    Abstract: An electrically connecting module suitable for an electronic device is provided. The electronic device includes a chassis disposed in a rack. The rack has an electrically connecting terminal. The electrically connecting module includes a shell, an adjustable position-limiting element, a circuit board and a connector. The adjustable position-limiting element connects the shell to the chassis. The shell is able to move relatively to the chassis. The circuit board is disposed in the shell. The connector is disposed on the circuit board and electrically connected to the circuit board. When the chassis enters the rack, the electrically connecting terminal presses the shell to adjust the position of the shell, such that the connector is connected to the electrically connecting terminal. When the chassis is pulled out from the rack, the connector is moved with the chassis such that the connection between the connector and the rack is terminated.
