ABSTRACT:
BACKGROUND OF THE INVENTION
1. Field of the Invention
This invention discloses a server apparatus, especially provides a guider, backboard and slots on the backboard to make computer devices slide into the corresponding guider and make the backs of the computer devices directly wedges in the slots.
2. Description of the Related Art
In the prior art, the server apparatus comprises two parts; one is inserting a plurality of motherboards in a case, and there are connectors in the back of the motherboard to connect the corresponding connectors in the backboard in the back of the case. As shown in
FIG. 1
, there are a case
101
, a backboard
102
and a plurality of motherboards
103
. There are two breaches
104
and
105
respectively setting on the front and the back of the case
101
, and there are a plurality of symmetric guiders
106
in the vertical inner side. The backboard
102
has two faces
107
and
108
, one face
107
sticks on the breach
105
on the back of the case
101
and there are a plurality of connectors
109
(each connector
109
connects each other through electric signals) in the face
107
. The back of the motherboard
103
at least sets a connector
110
that can completely set in the inner vertical symmetric guiders
106
. While the motherboard
103
completely slides into the case
101
, as shown in
FIG. 2
, the connectors
110
of the motherboard
103
connect the corresponding connectors
109
of the backboard
102
. Each motherboard
103
communicates each other through connecting the backboard
102
.
The other server apparatus sets a plurality of computers in a base, every computer directly connects a signal-exchange device through the network cable and the network adapter in the computer to communicates to each other. As shown in
FIG. 3
, there are a base structure
201
, a plurality of connecting cables
202
, a plurality of computers
203
, network adapter
204
and a signal-exchange device
205
. Referring to
FIG. 4
, each computer
203
and a signal-exchange device
205
stack up and down in the base structure
201
and the computers
203
directly connects a signal-exchange device
205
through the network cable
202
and the network adapter
204
in the computer
203
.
In the foregoing server apparatus, the forward is to,connect a plurality of motherboards
103
, and the backward is to connect a plurality of computers
203
; the computer
203
can operate independently so as to be operated by users, but the motherboard
103
lacks the power supply and the corresponding components, so the motherboard
103
should depend on the case for connecting the corresponding devices in the case to provide the function like computer
203
. But the motherboards
103
connect each other only through a backboard; the computers
203
connect each other through a plurality of complicate network cables
202
and network adapters
204
.
According to the foregoing description, the motherboard
103
should depend on the other corresponding devices in the case
101
and lack the function of independent operation as well as the defect that the computers
203
connect each other through a plurality of complicate network cables
202
. In order to overcome these defect, this invention discloses a server apparatus.
SUMMARY OF THE INVENTION
The first objective of the invention discloses a server apparatus to solve the lack function of independent operation of the motherboard in the prior art.
The second objective of the invention discloses a server apparatus structure to solve the defect that the computers devices should connect each other through a plurality of complicate network cables.
This invention discloses a server apparatus, comprising a case, a backboard, at least a signal-exchange device and a plurality of computer devices. There are two breaches on the front and the back of the case, and there are a plurality of symmetric guiders in a vertical inner side. The backboard has two faces, one sticks on the breach of the back of the case and there are a plurality of connect-slots, said connect-slots electrically connecting to each other The back of the signal-exchange device sets at least a first connector and the vertical width of the device is smaller than the width of the guider; by this, we can set it in the symmetric guiders. The back of the computer device sets at least a second connector and the vertical width of the computer device is smaller than the width of the guider; by this, we can set it in the symmetric guiders. While the computer device and the signal-exchange device completely slide into the case, the first connector and the second connector wedge in the corresponding connect-slots. Besides, there is a gripper on each of the both sides in the front of the computer device and the signal-exchange device that stuck on the corresponding splinted trough on each of the both sides of the breach in the front of the case to stick on the computer device and the signal-exchange device into the case.
In the invention, each computer device and signal-exchange device has an independent power device that respectively applies its needing power as a power supply. In addition, each computer device and signal-exchange device further has an independent cooler device inside. Each computer device can either put into the server apparatus or be an independent server.
Besides, each computer device of the server apparatus in the invention directly communicates the signal-exchange device through the backboard, and then connects other external computer devices, server apparatuses and similar devices through backboard and the signal-exchange device. It can substantially lower the complicate degree of the external connecting of the server apparatus.
Furthermore, the backboard can become a shape of reverse T. By such Way, while the signal exchange device and a plurality of computer devices put into the case, it can provide the signal-exchange device and a plurality of computer devices more cooler space.
