Abstract

A memory case includes a first case body and a second case body. The first case body includes a first extension part extending in a first direction, and the second case body includes a second extension part extending in the first direction. The first case body and the second case body are combined in a second direction to form an interior space for accommodating a memory, and the first extension part secures the second extension part. A length of the first case body in a third direction is different from a length of the second case body in the third direction. The memory module of the server includes a memory slot, a memory, and the above-mentioned memory case. The memory is mounted on the memory slot, and the memory case accommodates the memory.

First claim

What is claimed is:

1 . A memory case, wherein the memory case is configured to accommodate a memory mounted on a memory slot, the memory case comprising:
a first case body comprising a first extension part extending in a first direction; and a second case body comprising a second extension part extending in the first direction, the first case body and the second case body being combined in a second direction to form an interior space for accommodating the memory, and the first extension part securing the second extension part, wherein:
a length of the first case body in a third direction is different from a length of the second case body in the third direction, and
the first direction, the second direction, and the third direction are perpendicular to each other.

2 . The memory case according to claim 1 , wherein the second direction is perpendicular to a plane of a circuit board of the memory.

3 . The memory case according to claim 1 , wherein the first extension part and the second extension part are fixed in the second direction.

4 . The memory case according to claim 1 , further comprising a first screw set, the first screw set locking to fix the first and the second extension parts.

5 . The memory case according to claim 1 , wherein:
the first extension part is located on a side of the first case body, and the first case body further comprises a third extension part located on another side of the first case body; the second extension part is located on a side of the second case body, and the second case body further comprises a fourth extension part located on another side of the second case body, of which the third extension part secures the fourth extension part.

6 . The memory case according to claim 5 , further comprising a second screw set, the second screw set locking to fix the third and fourth extension parts in the second direction.

7 . The memory case according to claim 1 , further comprising a third screw set, the third screw set locking to fix the first and second case bodies in the third direction.

8 . The memory case according to claim 1 , further comprising:
a first heat conducting pad located on a first side of the first case body relative to the interior space, and a second heat conducting pad located on a second side of the second case body relative to the interior space, wherein
the first heat conducting pad is located between the first case body and the memory, and
the second heat conducting pad is located between the second case body and the memory in response to the memory case accommodating the memory.

9 . The memory case according to claim 8 , wherein the first heat conducting pad and the second heat conducting pad contact the memory in response to the memory case accommodating the memory.

10 . The memory case according to claim 1 , wherein the interior space has an inner surface, and the memory case further comprises a shock absorbing pad secured to the inner surface in the third direction, the shock absorbing pad being positioned between the inner surface and the memory in response to the memory case accommodating the memory.

11 . A server, comprising:
a main board; and at least one memory module mounted on the main board, the at least one memory module comprising:
a memory slot;
a memory mounted on the memory slot; and
a memory case accommodating the memory, the memory case comprising:
a first case body comprising a first extension part extending in a first direction; and
a second case body comprising a second extension part extending in the first direction, the first case body and the second case body being combined in a second direction to form an interior space for accommodating the memory, and the first extension part securing the second extension part, wherein:
a length of the first case body in a third direction is different from a length of the second case body in the third direction, and
the first direction, the second direction, and the third direction are perpendicular to each other.

12 . The server according to claim 11 , wherein:
the at least one memory module comprises a plurality of memory modules, and the plurality of memory modules are parallel and side-by-side.

13 . The server according to claim 12 , wherein a gap between adjacent ones of the plurality of parallel and side-by-side memory modules is 0.5 mm or less.

14 . The server according to claim 11 , wherein:
the memory slot has a first side surface and a second side surface on both sides of a central axis, and the central axis is parallel to a mounting direction in which the memory is mounted in the memory slot, the first case body shielding the first side surface, the second case body exposing the second side surface.

15 . The server according to claim 11 , further comprising a chassis, a partition, a heat sink, and a fan set, the partition and the heat sink dividing a chassis space of the chassis into an upper space and a lower space, wherein:
the main board and the at least one memory module are located in the lower space, the heat sink conducts heat of the at least one memory module to the upper space, and the fan set discharges heat of the upper space out of the chassis.
