Description

server

The invention is an electronic device, in particular a server.

Nowadays, the world is in an era of rapid development of information technology. Both enterprises and individuals have already used personal computers (such as desktop computers, notebook computers, etc.) to handle transactions. However, with the maturity of communication technology, transnational e-commerce has replaced traditional regional business models. As a result, the average personal computer can no longer meet the needs of enterprises in the mall. Therefore, the computer industry has developed various types of servers (such as: cabinet server, blade server or vertical servo) to solve the problem of electronic enterprises.

Taking a rack server as an example, the server includes a cabinet and a plurality of servo hosts installed in the cabinet. In addition to space saving and easy management, the cabinet server can also operate multiple servo hosts to perform computationally intensive computing projects. However, since the assembler assembles the server, a large number of wires need to be overlapped between the devices in the server to enable the server to operate normally. As a result, the wire cost required to assemble the servo is increased. Therefore, how to reduce the wire cost required to assemble the server will be the goal that developers are looking for.

In view of the above problems, the present invention relates to a server for reducing the wire cost required to assemble a server.
