Abstract
A server assembly includes a chassis and a server module slidably received in the chassis. The chassis includes a backplane with a connector. The server module includes a mounting plate and a connecting plate movably attached to the mounting plate. A plurality of supporting posts protrude on the mounting plate. The connecting plate defines a plurality of elongated through slots according to the supporting posts. A flexible member is locked in each through slot. A plurality of fasteners extend through the flexible members to screw into the supporting posts, respectively. A resilient resisting member is arranged on the mounting plate, to abut against a front end of the connecting plate to insert a rear end of the connecting plate in the connector.
Claims17
A server module, comprising:
- a side plate;
- a mounting plate fixed on a rear end of the side plate, the mounting plate comprising a plurality of supporting posts protruding on the mounting plate and a resisting member fixed to a front end of the mounting plate;
- and
- a connecting plate for being electrically connected to a connector on a chassis to which the server module is attached, the connecting plate defining a plurality of elongated through slots each having a flexible member attached thereto, wherein each flexible member is movable relative to the corresponding elongated through slot and defines a through hole along an axis of the flexible member, a plurality of fasteners extends through the through holes of the flexible members to screw into the supporting posts, respectively, to movably mount the connecting plate to the mounting plate, the resisting member resiliently resists against a front end of the connecting plate such that the connecting plate is pushed to connect to the connector.
A server assembly, comprising:
- a chassis comprising a backplane fixed on a rear end of the chassis, a connector set on the backplane;
- a server module comprising:
- a side plate;
- a mounting plate fixed on a rear end of the side plate, the mounting plate comprising a plurality of supporting posts protruding on the mounting plate and a resisting member fixed to a front end of the mounting plate;
- and
- a connecting plate electrically connected with the connector, the connecting plate defining a plurality of elongated through slots each attaching a flexible member, wherein each flexible member is movable relative to the corresponding elongated through slot and defines a through hole along an axis of the flexible member, a plurality of fasteners extending through the through holes of the flexible member to screw into the supporting posts respectively, to movably mount the connecting plate to the mounting plate, the resisting member resiliently resists against a front end of the connecting plate to ensure connection portions located at a rear end of the connecting plate properly plugging in the connector.
