Abstract

The present disclosure provides a top-load HDD server including: a partition plate arranged in a containing space of a case to divide the containing space into a plurality of hard disk chambers and a system chamber; a mother board arranged at a bottom of the system chamber; a power supply frame including a power control board and a power carrier; the power carrier includes a movable frame and a fixed frame, the movable frame is arranged on the power control board and removable, and thereby improves cable management and maintenance.

First claim

What is claimed is:

1. A top-load HDD server for accommodating a plurality of hard disks and power supplies, the top-load HDD server comprising:
a case comprising a plurality of support plates and a plurality of partition plates, a containing space being defined by the support plates, the partition plates being arranged in the containing space and dividing the containing space into a plurality of hard disk chambers and a system chamber, the case comprising a bottom at a bottom surface of the containing space and a top corresponding to the bottom, and the hard disks being inserted into the hard disk chambers through the top of the case;
a mother board arranged at a bottom of the system chamber for electrically connecting with the hard disks; and
a power supply frame comprising a power control board combined on the partition plate and a power carrier for carrying the power supply, the power control board being electrically connected with the mother board, the power carrier comprising a movable frame and a fixed frame, the movable frame being arranged above the mother board, the movable frame being combined on the power control board and removable, the fixed frame being fixed on the case, and the power supply being inserted into the fix frame and through the movable frame to electrically connected to the power control board.

2. The Top-load HDD server according to claim 1 , wherein the case comprises a front side in front of the partition plates and a rear side corresponding to the front side, the hard disk chambers are adjacent to the front side of the case, the system chamber is adjacent to the rear side of the case, the movable frame and the fixed frame are arranged parallel with each other, the movable frame is arranged between the power control board and the fix frame, and the fixed frame is fixed on the rear side of the case.

3. The top-load HDD server according to claim 1 , wherein a plurality of heat dissipation holes are disposed on the partition plate.

4. The Top-load HDD server according to claim 1 , further comprising a plurality of first heat dissipation fans, the first heat dissipation fans being arranged in the system chamber and under the fix frame.

5. The Top-load HDD server according to claim 4 , further comprising a plurality of second heat dissipation fans, the second heat dissipation fans being arranged in the system chamber and at a side of the first heat dissipation fan, an extension plate being extended from a side of the fix frame and covering above the second heat dissipation fans.

6. The Top-load HDD server according to claim 5 , wherein the first heat dissipation fans and the second heat dissipation fans are arranged at the rear side of the case and upper and lower dislocation.

7. The Top-load HDD server according to claim 6 , further comprising a peripheral device, and the peripheral device is arranged under the second heat dissipation fans and electrically connected to the mother board.

8. The Top-load HDD server according to claim 1 , wherein a plurality of first snap holes are defined at a side of the power control board adjacent to the movable frame, a plurality of first snap columns are correspondingly arranged at the power control board, and the movable frame is connected to the power control board by snapping the first snap holes with the first snap columns.

9. The Top-load HDD server according to claim 8 , wherein a plurality of second snap columns are arranged at a side of the movable frame adjacent to the fixed frame, a plurality of second snap holes are correspondingly arranged at a side of the fix frame, and the movable frame is connected to the fix frame by snapping the second snap columns to the second snap holes.

10. The Top-load HDD server according to claim 9 , wherein a releasing direction of the first snap columns from the first snap hole is parallel to a releasing direction of the second snap columns from the second snap holes.
