Abstract
A multi-processor system has a tubelike computer module including plural mother boards configured onto plural side walls of a rack body to form a unitary, continuous and non-segment airflow channel. The airflow channel of the tubelike computer module has larger space and fewer barriers to allow the airflow passing through smoothly, and to reduce wind noises or turbulences. Therefore, the system achieves optimum heat-dissipation efficiency and noise reduction by means of specific space arrangement and less cooling system requirement.
Claims20
A tubelike computer module, comprising:
- a rack body, having a plurality of adjacent side walls to form a first opening and a second opening;
- and
- a plurality of mother boards each having at least one processor;
- wherein each of the mother boards are configured onto the side walls respectively, thereby defining a non-segment airflow channel between the first opening and the second opening.

A multi-processor system, comprising:
- a rack body, having a plurality of adjacent side walls to form a first opening and a second opening;
- a plurality of mother boards each having at least one processor, each of the mother boards being configured onto the side walls respectively to define a non-segment airflow channel between the first opening and the second opening;
- a plurality of heat sinks coupled corresponding to the processors of the mother boards;
- and
- at least one cooling fan configured at the path of the airflow channel for generating an airflow through the airflow channel.
