  • Patent number: 8305748
    Abstract: A blade server module applicable to be inserted into a blade server system. The blade server module includes a motherboard tray having a first connector, a motherboard, an extension dock and an adaptor card having a second connector corresponding to the first connector and electrically connect to the first connector via a cable so as to connect the motherboard and the adaptor card. Compared with prior arts, since utilization of the cable, the blade server module is not restricted by smaller motherboard and more and more concentrative electronic elements. Since arrangement of the cable does not occupy space of the motherboard and connects the motherboard and the adaptor card integrally, signals of the motherboard output via the adaptor card and then link the inserted blade server system. Hence the blade server module of the present invention efficiently decreases overall manufacturing cost and its occupation volume.

  • Publication number: 20120262864
    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.
