Abstract

Official abstract text for this publication.

A server device includes a case, first, second and third hard disk brackets and a first cable management cover. The case includes a main part and an expansion part disposed on the main part. The first hard disk bracket is fixed to the expansion part. The second and third hard disk brackets are pivotably disposed on the main part. A first cable management space is formed between each of two opposite exterior surfaces of the second hard disk bracket and each of two opposite interior surfaces of the main part. The second hard disk bracket is between the first and third hard disk brackets. A second cable management space is between a bottom surface of the third hard disk bracket and a supporting surface of the main part. A first cable management cover is in one of the first cable management spaces and fixed to the main part.

First claim

Opening claim text (preview).

What is claimed is: 1. A server device, comprising: a case, comprising a main part and an expansion part, the expansion part mounted to one side of the main part; a first hard disk bracket, fixed to the expansion part of the case; a second hard disk bracket, pivotably disposed on the main part of the case, wherein a first cable management space is formed between one of two opposite exterior surfaces of the second hard disk bracket and one of two opposite interior surfaces of the main part of the case, and another first cable management space is formed between the other of the two opposite exterior surfaces of the second hard disk bracket and the other of the two opposite interior surfaces of the main part; a third hard disk bracket, pivotably disposed on the main part of the case, wherein the second hard disk bracket is located between the first hard disk bracket and the third hard disk bracket, and at least one second cable management space is formed between a bottom surface of the third hard disk bracket and a supporting surface of the main part of the case; and at least one first cable management cover, located in one of the two first cable management spaces and fixed to the main part of the case. 2. The server device according to claim 1 , wherein the quantity of the at least one first cable management cover is two, the two first cable management covers are respectively located in the two first cable management spaces. 3. The server device according to claim 2 , wherein one of the two first cable management covers and one of the two opposite interior surfaces of the main part together surround a first channel, and the other of the two first cable management covers and the other of the two opposite interior surfaces of the main part together surround another first channel. 4. The server device according to claim 1 , further comprising at least one second cable management cover, wherein at least one third cable management space is formed between one of two opposite exterior surfaces of the third hard disk bracket and one of the two opposite interior surfaces of the main part of the case, at least one another third cable management space is formed between the other of the two opposite exterior surfaces of the third hard disk bracket and the other of the two opposite interior surfaces of the main part of the case, and the at least one second cable management cover is located in one of the third cable management spaces and fixed to the case. 5. The server device according to claim 4 , wherein the quantity of the at least one second cable management cover is two, the two second cable management covers are respectively located in the third cable management spaces, one of the two second cable management covers and one of the two opposite interior surfaces of the main part together surround a second channel, and the other of the two second cable management covers and the other of the two opposite interior surfaces of the main part together surround another second channel. 6. The server device according to claim 1 , wherein the main part has a partition part, the partition part is located between the second hard disk bracket and the third hard disk bracket, the partition part has at least one through hole, the at least one through hole has a wide part and a narrow part connected to each other, and the wide part is located closer to the supporting surface of the case than the narrow part is to the supporting surface of the case. 7. The server device according to claim 1 , wherein a part of the expansion part is located between a bottom surface of the second hard disk bracket and the supporting surface of the main part. 8. The server device according to claim 1 , further comprising a host assembly and a fan assembly, wherein the fan assembly is located between the third hard disk bracket and the host assembly. 9. A server device, comprising: a case; a first hard disk bracket, fixed to the case; a second hard disk bracket, pivotably disposed on the case, wherein a first cable management space is formed between one of two opposite exterior surfaces of the second hard disk bracket and one of two opposite interior surfaces of the case, another first cable management space is formed between the other of the two opposite exterior surfaces of the second hard disk bracket and the other of the two opposite interior surfaces of the case, and at least one second cable management space is formed between a bottom surface of the second hard disk bracket and a supporting surface of the case; and at least one first cable management cover, located in one of the two first cable management spaces and fixed to the case. 10. The server device according to claim 9 , wherein the case has a partition part, the partition part is located between the first hard disk bracket and the second hard disk bracket, the partition part has at least one through hole, the at least one through hole has a wide part and a narrow part connected to each other, and the wide part is located closer to the supporting surface of the case than the narrow part is to the supporting surface of the case.
