CN102999106A - Design method for realizing expansion of PCIE (Peripheral Component Interface Express) card or storage equipment on blade server - Google Patents

Abstract

The invention aims at providing a design method for realizing expansion of a PCIE (Peripheral Component Interface Express) card or storage equipment on a blade server. The design method is characterized in that an expansion PCIE interface blade server and the storage blade server are commonly designed, so that the expanded configuration of the PCIE blade server or the storage server is flexibly realized by matching with different peripheral equipment on the same main board. The design method provided by the invention has the advantages that in the blade server system supporting the PCIE expansion card, a blade node can realize flexible configuration of eight disc arrays of two full-height PCIE cards or PCIERaid cards by different structural designs.

Description

A kind of method for designing that realizes expansion PCIE card or memory device at blade server

Technical field

The present invention relates to the server application technology, specifically a kind of method for designing that realizes expansion PCIE card or memory device at blade server.

Background technology

The characteristics of blade server are exactly that bulk density is high, and flexible configuration, the application person can realize multiple different configuration at same girff, the blade node of different purposes is collaborative to be used, support that in the blade node of numerous kinds Standard PC IE expansion card (as: SAS card, FC card, Infiniband card etc.) is a very common class blade node, be widely used at DAS, FC SAN, use as head node in the storage arrays such as NAS.

Also have simultaneously a class blade server, itself can articulate a lot of hard disks, can be used as the on a small scale blade server of storage, because its small scale, hard disk density is high, and can share cabinet with other blade servers, so range of application is also very extensive.

Summary of the invention

The purpose of this invention is to provide a kind of method for designing that realizes expansion PCIE card or memory device at blade server.

The objective of the invention is to realize in the following manner, a kind of design proposal that realizes expansion PCIE card or memory device at blade server, be intended to expansion PCIE interface blade server and storage blade server are done shared design, make it on same mainboard, by the different peripherals of arranging in pairs or groups, realize flexibly PCIE blade server or storage server expanded configuration.The specific design step is as follows:

(1) in the high blade node of the 1U=4.3cm of a 8U, the blade pcb board is designed to " protruding " font, respectively there is the PCIE groove of a bent angle to be used for installing the PCIE card on the PCB both sides of two harbour formulas that outwards lean out, can reserve simultaneously the width of a hard disk in the back of PCIE interface, be used for placing hard disk;

(2) when blade need to be pegged graft the PCIE card of two pieces of overall heights, in the space of PCIE card back, place 2 pieces or double-layer overlapped sieve this moment and put 4 pieces of 2.5 cun hard disks, store as this locality;

(3) when blade will be as memory node, at blade peg graft one piece of Raid card or SAS card, then in the space of another PCIE, support 8 hard disks by monolithic Raid card first.

The invention has the beneficial effects as follows: the user comes the configuration mode of flexible configuration PCIE swaging clamp sheet and storage blade by the needs of self, and only need to change casing structure, does not need to change mainboard, has unified to greatest extent the integrated circuit board kind, and has reduced cost.

Description of drawings

Fig. 2 is the blade configuration structural representation of high PCIE card+4 local hard drives of enjoying a double blessing;

Fig. 3 is the structural representation of the blade of Raid card+8 hard disk.

Embodiment

Explain below with reference to Figure of description method of the present invention being done.

The method for designing that realizes expansion PCIE card or memory device at blade server of the present invention, to expand PCIE interface blade server and the storage blade server is done shared design, make it on same mainboard, by the different peripherals of arranging in pairs or groups, realize flexibly PCIE blade server or storage server expanded configuration.

The specific design method is as follows:

(1) at a 8U(1U=4.3cm) in the high blade node, the blade pcb board is designed to " protruding " font (such as Fig. 1), respectively there is the PCIE groove of a bent angle to be used for installing the PCIE card on the PCB both sides of two harbour formulas that outwards lean out.Can reserve simultaneously the width of a hard disk in the back of PCIE interface, be used for placing hard disk;

(2) when blade need to be pegged graft the PCIE card of two pieces of overall heights, this moment can in the space of PCIE card back, place 2 pieces or 4 pieces (bilayer) 2.5 cun hard disks, store (such as Fig. 2) as this locality;

(3) when blade will be as memory node, can be first at blade peg graft one piece of Raid card or SAS card, then in the space of another PCIE, place hard disk (monolithic Raid card can be supported 8 hard disks, such as Fig. 3) as much as possible.

To sum up, the user can come by the needs of self configuration mode of flexible configuration PCIE swaging clamp sheet and storage blade, and only need to change casing structure, does not need to change mainboard, has unified to greatest extent the integrated circuit board kind, and has reduced cost.

Except the described technical characterictic of instructions, be the known technology of those skilled in the art.
