Device and method for sealing PCIe Socket of server

Abstract

The invention provides a device and method for sealing a PCIe Socket of a server. The device is provided with two long edge strips and two short edge strips, wherein the two long edge strips and the two short edge strips are connected end to end separately to form a notch in fit with the shape of the PCIe Socket; two sealing strips are arranged at the upper parts of the two long edge strips, are provided with free ends, and are in contact through the free ends; when PCIe equipment is inserted into the PCIe Socket, the free ends of the two sealing strips are separated and tightly attached to acircuit board of the inserted equipment; and when the PCIe equipment is pulled out, the free ends of the two sealing strips are restored into a contact state, and a slot is sealed. The device is capable of effectively preventing dust and moisture whether the slot of a computer is in a service condition or an idle state; poor contact of the PCIe Socket and a Pin of expansion equipment and corrosionare avoided and reduced; a dust-proof device is simple in structure, convenient to use and low in cost; and heat dissipation of a mainboard and the expansion equipment is not affected.

Description

technical field [0001] The invention relates to the technical field of servers, in particular to a server PCIe Socket sealing device and method. Background technique [0002] At present, server products have been widely used in the Internet industry, financial industry, government departments and other scenarios, which is also due to the high performance, high reliability and high scalability of server products. As an important slot on the server motherboard, the PCIe Socket is an important part of high scalability. Current server motherboards are usually designed with multiple expansion slots for connecting SSDs, graphics cards, GPUs, network cards and other expansion devices, and the most common one is PCIe Socket. Because the computer case is in an open air exposure environment and the use conditions are not good, the dust in the air will gradually settle and be adsorbed inside the case, especially the springs in the slots and the golden fingers of expansion devices such...

AI Technical Summary

Problems solved by technology

Because the computer case is in an open air exposure environment and the use conditions are not good, the dust in the air will gradually settle and be absorbed inside the case, especially the springs in the slots and the gold fingers of expansion devices such as display cards and network cards are prone to accumulate dust, Oxidation, resulting in poor contact and a series of false alarms

The conventional way is to regularly clean the chassis to remove the dust inside the chassis, but because the computer slot is a narrow gap, there are a large number of springs inside to connect with expansion devices such as graphics cards, it is difficult to remove the dust in the slot by conventional cleaning methods
