Patent number: 8331095Abstract: A storage server includes a case, an adapter board, a control board module, a power supply module, a plurality of hard disk units, a plurality of dividing boards, and a case cover. The adapter board divides the case into a first space and a second space. The control board module and the power supply module are disposed in the first space and electrically connected to the adapter board. The hard disk units are disposed in the second space, and the hard disk backboards thereof are connected to the adapter board via cables. The dividing boards are used to separate the hard disk units. The second space and the hard disk units disposed therein are covered with the case cover.Type: GrantFiled: February 9, 2010Date of Patent: December 11, 2012Assignee: Inventec CorporationInventors: Yong-Liang Hu, Yang Zhang, Shi-Feng Wang, Tsai-Kuei Cheng

Patent number: 8228669Abstract: A server chassis layout structure includes a chassis body, a partition plate, and a power backplane module. The chassis body includes a bottom plate, first and second top plates, and two side plates. The first and second top plates form a first opening therebetween. The side plates are mounted between the bottom and top plates. The partition plate includes at least one retaining portion and is perpendicularly fixed to the bottom plate below the first opening. The partition plate divides the chassis body into first and second sections. The power backplane module includes at least one lock portion and is vertically inserted into the chassis body via the first opening. The lock portion interferes with the retaining portion so as to assemble the power backplane module into the chassis body above the partition plate, and both the power backplane and the partition plate are exposed via the first opening.Type: GrantFiled: December 10, 2009Date of Patent: July 24, 2012Assignee: Inventec CorporationInventors: Yong-Liang Hu, Yang Zhang, Ji-Peng Xu, Tsai-Kuei Cheng
