In order to achieve the purpose of adaptability, compatibility, management convenience and cost saving, the appearance dimensions of most server chassis adopt general industrial standards. According to the specifications uniformly formulated by the Electronic Industries Association (EIA), the height of industrial cabinets such as server chassis is based on U (1U=44.45mm=1.75 inches) as the standard unit. Common server chassis on the market range from 1U to 7U, depending on the actual needs of users.

For a server chassis with a high height such as 4U or more, the side walls are more likely or have a higher chance to be tilted or turned outward due to factors such as the manufacturing process or internal components. In order to avoid this The problem is that on a server chassis with a high height, there are often bars connecting the opposite side walls, so as to prevent the side walls from tilting or turning outward by fixing the distance between the side walls.

On the other hand, for similar reasons, the expansion module installed in the server chassis may also have deformation or displacement of the casing. Taking PCIe expansion module as an example, the casing is usually a hollow box. Therefore, after being installed inside the server chassis, the unsupported part (such as the end) of the casing is easily deformed as the number of accommodated PCIe cards increases.

It can be seen that it is necessary to study the problems such as deformation of the server chassis and its internal module shell.
