ABSTRACT:
FIELD OF THE INVENTION
The present invention relates to a blade server module and particularly a server module for coupling a plurality of small servers to process large amount of data.
BACKGROUND OF THE INVENTION
The rapid innovations and developments of technology have created even more data that require more powerful computers to process. The computers with the processor built on a single chip cannot meet the requirements of processing those huge amount of data. Some producers have assembled supercomputers for this purpose.
For instance, in the area of biotechnology, the needs for supercomputers to process huge amount of data are especially keen and urgent. Some producers have developed and introduced supercomputers by assembling a plurality of 1U servers. In these types of supercomputers, each 1U server includes at least a power supply device, a motherboard, a hard disk drive, a radiation air fan and an optical disk drive. As the 1U server has to contain these hardware facilities, it requires a relatively large casing. As a result, the size and weight of 1U server become bigger and heavier. And assembling supercomputers also becomes time-consuming and takes a lot of processes. Assembling, repairs and maintenance and transportation also are difficult, and result in higher costs. Moreover, when in operation, the hardware that are actually being used are power supply device, motherboard and hard disk drive. The radiation air fan and optical disk drive are generally not operative, and thus becomes a waste.
SUMMARY OF THE INVENTION
The primary object of the invention is to resolve the foregoing disadvantages. The invention provides a small sever that includes only a power supply device, a motherboard and a hard disk drive so that the server becomes small size and light weight. Then a plurality of the small servers are coupled and housed in a server module in a front and rear array manner to share one set of radiator so that the whole module becomes more economic effective.
Another object of the invention is to allow air fans of the radiator be monitored and maintained individually, and to allow assembly done with less time and processes at a lower cost.
