摘要:
A rack server is proposed that includes a rack case, at least a server, and at least an extended interface card. The rack case includes a front surface having a plurality of server slots for insertion of a plurality of servers, and a rear surface having a plurality of card slots corresponding to the server slots for insertion of a plurality of extended interface cards. The server is inserted into one of the server slots and has a rear end connected to a server connector. The extended interface card is inserted into one of the card slots and has a card connector for electrically connecting to the server connector of the server. Therefore, by interconnecting the card connector of extended interface card with the server connector of the server, the extended interface card can be connected to the rear end of the server and a serial relationship is formed such that the extended interface card does not occupy any space where the server slots are installed and a number of slots installed in a unit area will be increased. Meanwhile, manufacturing costs are correspondingly reduced with increasing expansions of the server.

The present invention is to provide a connection arrangement of a blade server comprising a case having a plurality of holes at a front of the case, a first circuit board and a second circuit board both in the case, and a plurality of walls disposed between the first circuit board and the second circuit board for forming a passage therebetween having two ends open to the front and the rear of the case. An electronic device (e.g., hard disk drive) is adapted to electrically connect to the second circuit board by insertion, and a channel corresponding to the passage is then formed between the electronic device and the first circuit board for improving heat dissipation performance thereof.

A remote control system and remote switch control method for blade servers aims to switch different server blades and monitors and controls the server blades through a remote control station. The remote control system is connected to a baseboard management controller on a back plane, to form direct communication. When the remote control station sends a designated signal through the Internet to the remote control system, the remote control system transmits a switch signal to the. baseboard management controller through an internal bus, to switch a different server blade. The condition of the server blade is transmitted through the same route to the remote control station, to perform monitoring and control.

A network link backup system includes at least one network port to be selectively connected to a server system for linking the server system to a network; a baseboard management control unit to generate a selection switch signal according to a switch command entered by a manager; and a selection switch unit to switch the linking route between the server system and the Internet according to the selection switch signal. When the network link of the server system malfunctions, the manager can switch to a backup link to maintain network connectivity of the server system, thereby enhancing the reliability and stability of the server system.

An I/O unit access switching system and its method are implemented on a plurality of servers respectively having a baseboard management controller (BMC) and an intelligent platform management system (IPMI). The servers are connected to a switching device, itself connected to a set of I/O devices such as keyboard, mouse, and monitor. When the control module of one server is activated, the BMC of the server delivers an activation signal to the switching device. According to the received activation signal, the switching device transmits an interrupt signal to the microprocessor unit. The microprocessor unit accordingly outputs a switching signal to an I/O function multiplexer that, in response, switches access to the I/O devices to the requesting server from which the activation signal was received. Through the I/O function multiplexer, the I/O devices can then be used in conjunction with the selected server.
