Abstract
The invention relates to a casing for a rack server, which comprises a chassis with a chassis base and a surface to be equipped and a reinforcement bridge. In the mounted state, the chassis base and the reinforcement bridge are slightly bent. The bent reinforcement bridge is fastened to the bent chassis base. The bending or curvature of the chassis base and of the reinforcement bridge is convexly shaped with respect to the surface to be equipped.
Claims14
A casing for a rack server, comprising:
- a chassis with a chassis base and a surface to be equipped, and
- a reinforcement bridge,
- wherein the chassis base and the reinforcement bridge are respectively bent,
- the bent reinforcement bridge is fastened to the bent chassis base, and
- the bending of the chassis base and of the reinforcement bridge is convexly shaped with respect to the surface to be equipped.
2 more elements
A method of reinforcing a rack server casing, in which a reinforcement bridge is connected to a chassis of the rack server casing,
- wherein the chassis comprises a chassis base with a surface to be equipped, on which at least two embossments are arranged, and
- the reinforcement bridge comprises at least two corresponding openings, which are shaped in such a way that one embossment can fit through one opening,
- wherein the smallest distance between the openings from an inner surface of a first opening to an inner surface of a second opening is referred to as distance dimension “X”, and the smallest distance between the embossments from the side surface to the side surface in the non-bent state of the chassis base is smaller than “X”,
- wherein the method comprises the following method steps:
- (a) the chassis base is clamped on to a riveting device in a bent state, such that the distance between the embossments becomes “X”,
- (b) the reinforcement bridge, on the chassis base, is clamped on to the riveting device in a bent state, such that the embossments are respectively guided through an opening, and
- (c) the chassis base and the reinforcement bridge are riveted to one another in the clamped state.
