Abstract
A server rack assembly includes a pair of mounting units each including a panel, an adjustment plate, and rails. The panel has a first panel flange to connect a front support post. The adjustment plate is movably connected to the panel for connecting a rear support post and is adjustable to suit varying distances between front and rear support posts. The rails are detachably mounted on the panel; a gap between two rails is adjustable to accommodate different server devices.

A server rack assembly mountable inside a server cabinet through two post units spaced apart from each other in a left-right direction, each of the post unit including a front support post and a rear support post spaced apart from each other in a front-rear direction, the server rack assembly including:
- a pair of mounting units configured to be respectively connected to the post units, each of said mounting units including
- a panel having a panel plate, a first panel flange and a second panel flange, said first and second panel flanges bending from said panel plate in two opposite directions, said first panel flange being configured to connect the front support post, said second panel flange having a positioning stud and a flange through hole which are disposed one above the other, wherein, in said panel of one of said mounting units, said positioning stud is disposed above said flange through hole, and in said panel of the other one of said mounting units, said positioning stud is disposed below said flange through hole,
- an adjustment plate connected to said panel plate, said adjustment plate being configured to connect the rear support post, and
- a plurality of rails detachably mounted on an inner surface of said panel at different heights, said inner surfaces of said panels of said mounting units facing toward each other, two adjacent ones of said rails on said panel having a gap therebetween that is adjustable to accommodate different heights of server devices, each of said rails on said panel of one of said mounting units corresponding in position along the left-right direction to one of said rails on said panel of the other one of said mounting units to cooperatively support the server device;
- at least one bridge member connected to said second panel flanges of said panels of both of said mounting units in a bridging manner, said at least one bridge member having two opposite bridge ends and abridge body interconnected between said bridge ends, each of said bridge ends having a stud-receiving hole to receive said positioning stud, and a bridge through hole to align with said flange through hole, said stud-receiving hole and said bridge through hole being disposed one above the other, wherein, in one of said bridge ends, said stud-receiving hole is disposed above said bridge through hole, and in the other one of said bridge ends, said stud-receiving hole is disposed below said bridge through hole;
- a power supply module including an electrical busbar mounted to said bridge body and extending in a top-bottom direction, said electrical busbar having a terminal member for connecting to a power supply device;
- and
- a fastening unit including at least two fasteners, each of said at least two fasteners extending through and securing together said flange through hole of said panel of one of said mounting units and said bridge through hole of one of said bridge ends.
A server rack assembly, comprising:
- two post units spaced apart from each other in a left-right direction, each of said post units including a front support post and a rear support post spaced apart from each other in a front-rear direction;
- a pair of mounting units respectively connected to said post units, each of said mounting units including
- a panel having a panel plate, a first panel flange and a second panel flange, said panel plate of said panel of one of said mounting units having an inner surface that faces said inner surface of said panel plate of the other one of said mounting units, said first panel flange being connected to one of said front and rear support posts,
- an adjustment plate movably connected to an outer surface of said panel plate opposite to said inner surface and adjustable in position relative to said panel plate, said adjustment plate being connected to the other one of said front and rear support posts, and
- a plurality of rails mounted on said inner surface of said panel at different heights, each of said rails on said panel of one of said mounting units corresponding in position in the left-right direction to one of said rails on said panel of the other one of said mounting units;
- at least one bridge member connected to said second panel flanges of said panels of said mounting units in a bridging manner;
- and
- a power supply module including an electrical busbar mounted to said bridge body and extending in a top-bottom direction, said electrical busbar having a terminal member.
