During execution, after the reading device 51 reads the information of one of the identification units 4 under control, the management device 52 receives the information of the identification unit 4 read by the reading device 51 and generates a position message corresponding to the accommodating space 11 of the server unit 2 to be placed according to the information of the configuration file. In the embodiment, the reading device 51 is a Barcode scanner (Barcode scanner), and the management device 52 is a computer, so that the management device 52 can generate the position information and display the position information on a computer screen, so that a user can quickly know the accommodating space 11 where the server unit 2 to be processed is required to be placed. When the server unit 2 corresponding to the identification unit 4 is placed in the corresponding receiving space 11 according to the corresponding position information, the protrusion 21 of the server unit 2 protrudes out of the cabinet 1 and extends toward the front side of the cabinet 1 and passes through the light reflection detection surface 331 of the light detection surface unit 33, and after the management device 52 cooperates with the light detection device 3 to detect the protrusion 21 of the server unit 2 and generate the corresponding placement information and transmit the placement information to the management device 52, the management device 52 determines whether the position information of the server unit 2 to be placed is the same as the placement information of the server unit 2 actually placed detected by the light detection device 3. If the determination result is yes, the management device 52 will receive the information of another identification unit 4 read by the reading device 51.

When the light emitter 36 disposed on the bracket 311 emits light beams toward the other two brackets 311 spaced from the bracket 311 and to the corresponding light receiver 37, the first light detection surface 332 and the second light detection surface 333 are formed. In a simple manner, the main body 31 is composed of four brackets 311, and the brackets 311 are grouped in pairs and are spaced from each other, so that the light emitter 36 emits light beams to the corresponding light receiver 37 in the direction of the other two brackets 311 spaced from each other, and forms the first light detecting surface 332 and the second light detecting surface 333.
When the protrusion 21 of the server unit 2 is protruded out of the cabinet 1 and passes through the first light detection surface 332 and the second light detection surface 333 of the light detection surface unit 33, the first light detection surface 332 is used for detecting the horizontal position (position in the X-axis direction) of the server unit 2, and the second light detection surface 333 is used for detecting the vertical position (position in the Y-axis direction) of the server unit 2. In the present embodiment, the first light detecting surface 332 and the second light detecting surface 333 are spaced apart from each other and detect the position of the protruding portion 21 of the server unit 2 by sensing whether the light beam emitted from the light emitter 36 and the light beam received by the corresponding light receiver 37 are shielded, but not limited thereto.

The light receivers 37 are respectively disposed on the other first short frame 342 of the first square frame 34 and the other second long frame 351 of the second square frame 35.
The photo-detecting surface unit 33 has a first photo-detecting surface 332 and a second photo-detecting surface 333. When the light emitter 36 disposed on the first frame 34 emits light beams toward the other first short frame 342 of the first frame 34 and to the corresponding light receiver 37, the first light detection surface 332 is formed. When the light emitter 36 disposed on the second square frame 35 emits light beams toward the other second long frame 351 of the second square frame 35 and reaches the corresponding light receiver 37, the second light detection surface 333 is formed. When the protrusion 21 of the server unit 2 is protruded out of the cabinet 1 and passes through the first light detection surface 332 and the second light detection surface 333 of the light detection surface unit 33, the first light detection surface 332 is used to detect the horizontal position (position in the X-axis direction) of the server unit 2, and the second light detection surface 333 is used to detect the vertical position (position in the Y-axis direction) of the server unit 2, so that the management device 52 can generate the horizontal position information and the vertical position information corresponding to the placement information in cooperation with the light detection device 3. In the present embodiment, the first light detecting surface 332 and the second light detecting surface 333 detect the position of the protruding portion 21 of the server unit 2 by using a light shielding sensing method through the light beam emitted by the light emitter 36 and the condition whether the light receiver 37 receives the light beam, but not limited thereto.
Referring to fig. 1, fig. 2 and fig. 7, a first embodiment of an assembly management method for a rack server according to the present invention is applied to the first embodiment of the rack server system. The assembly management method of the rack server comprises a reading step 70, a configuration step 71, a detection step 72, a comparison step 73 and a reminding step 74.
First, in the reading step 70, the reading device 51 of the processing system 5 is controlled to read the information of the identification unit 4 disposed on one of the server units 2 and transmit the read information to the management device 52. In the configuration step 71, the management device 52 receives the information of the identification unit 4 read by the reading device 51 and generates a position information corresponding to the accommodating space 11 of the server unit 2 to be placed according to the information of the configuration file. In brief, after the user uses the reading device 51 to read the identification unit 4, the user knows the position information of the server unit 2 that needs to be placed in the corresponding accommodating space 11 in the cabinet 1 through the management device 52.
Next, in the detecting step 72, when the server unit 2 is placed in the corresponding accommodating space 11, the protrusion 21 of the server unit 2 protrudes from the cabinet 1 and extends toward the front side of the cabinet 1 and passes through the photo-detecting surface unit 33 of the photo-detecting device 3, and the management device 52 cooperates with the photo-detecting device 3 to detect the position of the protrusion 21 of the server unit 2 and generate a placing message corresponding to the server unit 2. In the present embodiment, the light detector 32 detects the protruding portion 21 of the server unit 2 according to the data of the emitted light beam and the corresponding reflected light beam, and the light detection device 3 generates the placement information corresponding to the server unit 2, that is, when the light detector 32 compares the data of the emitted light beam with the data of the light beam reflected by the protruding portion 21 of the server unit 2, the placement information of the server unit 2 is detected. The data of the incident light beam is information such as light incidence rate, light incidence speed, and time, and the data of the reflected light beam is information such as light reflectivity, light reflection speed, and time, which are converted by the light detector 32 to obtain the position information, but not limited thereto.
Finally, in the comparing step 73, the management device 52 of the processing system 5 determines whether the location information of the server unit 2 required to be placed is the same as the placement information of the server unit 2 actually placed detected by the light detecting device 3. If the determination result is yes, the management device 52 will receive the information that the reading device 51 reads another identification unit 4, and the reading step 70 can be executed again. That is, the user needs to place the currently processed server unit 2 in the correct accommodating space 11 before continuing to process another server unit 2 and sequentially performing the reading step 70, the configuring step 71, the detecting step 72 and the comparing step 73. In addition, it is needless to say that the steps of the whole execution flow are finished after all the server units 2 expected to be processed are respectively placed in the correct accommodating spaces 11, and the steps are not required to be repeated and executed in sequence.
It should be noted that, if the determination result in the comparing step 73 is negative, in the reminding step 74, the management device 52 controls the reminding unit 6 to send a reminding message to remind the user in real time that the server unit 2 must be placed in the accommodating space 11 of the corresponding position message, so that the user can immediately process and place the server unit 2 in the corresponding accommodating space, thereby effectively avoiding finding a problem in the subsequent operation and spending time to re-compare and find out the server unit 2 with a wrong position, and greatly improving the assembly efficiency of the rack-mounted server system.
Referring to fig. 4, fig. 6 and fig. 7, the second embodiment of the assembly management method of the rack server system of the present invention is applied to the second and third embodiments of the rack server system. The second embodiment of the assembly management method of the rack server is substantially the same as the first embodiment of the assembly management method of the rack server, except that: in order to cooperate with the configuration of the light detecting device 3 of the second and third embodiments of the rack-mounted server system, in the detecting step 72, each light receiver 37 receives the light beam emitted by the corresponding light emitter 36 to detect the protruding portion 21 of the server unit 2, the first light detecting surface 332 detects the horizontal position (position in the X-axis direction) of each protruding portion 21, and the second light detecting surface 333 detects the vertical position (position in the Y-axis direction) of each protruding portion 21, so that the light detecting device 3 generates the placement information corresponding to the server unit 2.
Specifically, in the detecting step 72, when the protrusion 21 of the server unit 2 protrudes out of the cabinet 1 and passes through the first light-detecting surface 332 and the second light-detecting surface 333 of the light-detecting surface unit 33, the first light-detecting surface 332 is used for detecting the horizontal position of the server unit 2, and the second light-detecting surface 333 is used for detecting the vertical position of the server unit 2, so that the management device 52 can generate the horizontal position information and the vertical position information of the corresponding placement information in cooperation with the light-detecting device 3. In this embodiment, the first light detecting surface 332 and the second light detecting surface 333 detect the position of the protruding portion 21 of the server unit 2 by using a light shielding sensing method through the light beam emitted by the light emitter 36 and the condition whether the light receiver 37 receives the light beam.
In summary, the rack-mounted server system and the assembly management method thereof of the present invention utilize the management device 52 in cooperation with the light detection device 3 to detect the position of the protrusion 21 of the server unit 2 and generate the placement message corresponding to the server unit 2, and when the management device 52 determines that the position message of the server unit 2 required to be placed is different from the placement message actually placed, the management device 52 controls the reminding unit 6 to send out the reminding message, so as to remind the user of real-time processing and improvement, effectively improve the assembly efficiency, and thus the object of the present invention can be achieved.
