Abstract: A fan module includes a chassis and a plurality of fan structures. The chassis includes an outer casing and a plurality of isolation plates. The isolation plates are disposed inside the outer casing. The isolation plates isolate a plurality of first accommodation spaces inside the outer casing. Each of the isolation plates has a first outline and a first buckling portion. The fan structures are detachably accommodated inside the first accommodation spaces respectively. Each of the fan structures has a second outline and a second buckling portion. When one of the fan structures is accommodated inside the corresponding first accommodation space, the corresponding first buckling portion and the corresponding second buckling portion are buckled to each other in order to fix the relative position of the corresponding fan structure and the chassis. The first outline and the second outline match with each other.

Abstract: A rack includes a frame rack and a chassis, for hosting a server. The frame rack has a fixing part. The chassis includes a shelf disposed detachably on the frame rack, a fastening element and a guide member. The shelf has a guiding groove and a first fastening portion. The fastening element has a fastening end and a pivot end fastened to the shelf allowing the fastening end to move pivotally at a release position and fastening position. The guide member is connected to the midsection of the fastening element and slideable in the guiding groove. The guide member is drawn off the guiding groove when the fastening element turns pivotally to its release position. When the fastening element rotates to the fastening position, the fastening end of the fastening element clasps with the first fastening portion, whereas the pivot end clasps with the fixing part.

Abstract: A rail device and a server are provided. The server includes a rack, at least one chassis, and a rail device. The rail device is disposed on the rack and the chassis that the chassis moves between a first position and a second position relative to the rack. The rail device includes a first rail, a second rail, a bracket, a driver, and a first latch. The first rail on the rack has an actuator, a first stopper, and a second stopper. The bracket has two ends slidably disposed at the first and the second rails individually. The driver is slidably disposed on the bracket. The first latch disposed on the chassis latches and pushes the driver forward when the chassis moves away from the first position. The first and the second stoppers then block movement of the driver and the bracket that the chassis moves to the second position.
