Method and cabinet for preventing power distribution pdu from encroaching on server cabinet maintenance space

Abstract

The invention provides a method for avoiding a PDU (power distribution unit) invading and occupying maintenance space of a server cabinet. The method includes step A, forming open windows on sheet metal parts of side plates on two sides of the cabinet to enable the PDU and a PDU mounting backplate to partly penetrate out of the open windows; step B, bending the PDU mounting backplate to protrude out of the open windows at the side plate, on the PDU side, of the cabinet so as to utilize idle space behind a weak-current wire binding plate in an adjacent cabinet; step C, arranging shielding covers at the open windows of the side plates on the two sides of the cabinet. The invention further provides the cabinet. Local idle space adjacent to the cabinet is utilized in a cabinet row where data center rooms are combined in a row manner, so that the circumstance that an object protruding out of the surface of the cabinet invades and occupies 19 inch of mounting and maintaining space of the rear portion of the cabinet after a power source PDU strip is mounted on one side behind the cabinet can be avoided.

Description

technical field [0001] The invention relates to a method for preventing a cabinet power distribution unit PDU from encroaching on the maintenance space at the rear of the cabinet, in particular to a method for preventing the power distribution PDU from encroaching on the maintenance space of the server cabinet. Background technique [0002] The PDU strips that distribute power to multiple servers in the data center computer room cabinet are usually installed on the rear side of the cabinet (right or left, mostly on the right side). In the past, data center cabinets generally only used AC power supply. PDU (PowerDistribution Unit ) Each output socket is not equipped with an independent miniature circuit breaker, so the PDU has a small size, and there is no problem that the PDU encroaches on the maintenance space at the rear of the cabinet. In recent years, the energy-saving technology of using 240V HVDC high-voltage DC power supply to power server cabinets has become popular,...

AI Technical Summary

Problems solved by technology

[0007] The technical solution disclosed in this patent document is only applicable to the structural design of the PDU itself, and cannot prevent the PDU from causing obstacles to the maintenance space at the rear of the cabinet. Therefore, it is necessary to modify the structural design of the server cabinet and improve the installation method of the PDU strip in the server cabinet.
