Server Q&A: What materials are used to develop HP server chassis?

A chassis of good and bad is largely determined by its material. Selection of chassis is to do a paw and three press (a paw: paw weight; three press: a press tin whether the depression, two press tin whether to leave a press mark, three press plastic panel is hard), poor quality and high quality natural water fall out. The main material of the chassis is steel plate, a good quality chassis, should be used to press galvanized steel manufacturing. And the thickness of the steel plate should be more than 1mm, the better chassis even use more than 1.3mm steel manufacturing. The quality of the steel plate is an important indicator of the chassis is good or bad, directly determines the quality of the chassis is good or bad.

The Patriot Moonlight Box Supreme King chassis launched by Huaqi Information has performed well in the summer market, and attracted a large number of computer enthusiasts and saving users with high requirements for computer performance, making it a brand new chassis in the high-end chassis market.

Recently, Huaqi information is based on the chassis, put forward the concept of personal server chassis, and further positioning of this category of chassis, and from the expansion of the performance, the ability to protect (cooling, environmental protection), as well as the humanized design of the three major aspects of the definition, which is the first moonlight treasure box personal server chassis appeared on the market.

In the DIY market, there is a part of the user group that pays great attention to the performance of the computer configuration, and at the same time, has higher requirements for the selected chassis, including expansion, protection, and security considerations are even more thorough. These people's requirements are higher than the average user, but not so much as to buy enterprise-class server chassis, then the cost is high, the product does not need to be so powerful. For example, some computer enthusiasts, set up a personal website enthusiasts and professional graphic designers or music producers. The launch of the Patriot Moonlight Box Supreme King is aimed at this group of users to help them build a personal server on the desktop.

As for what kind of chassis counts as a personal server chassis, consumers must pay attention to the following three criteria when purchasing:

1, expansion capabilities: the requirement to have full scalability

Personal servers are not corporate servers, and do not need to be oversized, both to fully consider the space for personal living, but also to consider a good thermal performance and Expansion space, so it should have the right size, and placed with better stability. Of course, although it is a personal server chassis, but also to fully consider the expandability to adapt to future upgrades. Generally speaking, the expansion position in 8 to 12 drives is enough; in addition, the personal server chassis must support a variety of models and specifications of the motherboard.

For example, the Moonlight Box Supreme King, which is a personal server chassis designed for computer enthusiasts, has an exterior dimension of 558X219X447mm, and an extremely spacious interior that can accommodate five optical drives, two floppy drives, and three hard disks at the same time, and has superb expandability to support a full range of ATX motherboards and EEB 3.0 motherboards. motherboards and EEB 3.0 server motherboards.

2, protection ability: environmental protection, safety, health

Excellent heat dissipation ability. First of all, the chassis material heat dissipation should be good, at least to use good thermal conductivity of galvanized steel, if you can afford it - all aluminum and aluminum alloy of course better. Secondly, the chassis should have enough space for fans, which can be used for different heat-generating devices to dissipate heat. Furthermore, the cooling ducts should be well-designed, so that there are both inlets and outlets to help the equipment expel heat more quickly. Last but not least, redundant fan design with automatic switching will undoubtedly raise the safety index of the server to a higher level.

Better health and environmental protection. Personal servers placed in the home environment, it is more important to consider the health and environmental protection, first of all, there must be a very good shielding radiation ability, in the workstation, the chassis outside the cabinet, the home environment is unlikely to have this kind of superior environment, so the requirements of the personal server chassis must have better shielding ability, and shielding radiation is mainly dependent on the galvanized layer, so, this requires personal server chassis have stronger hardware materials, and of course a comprehensive EMI design.

Thoughtful security protection. The working environment of the personal server is basically in the owner's living environment, will not be as strong as the enterprise server room security protection. Therefore, the design of personal server chassis should be more consideration of security factors. The first and foremost is that it cannot be switched on and off randomly; then it is to protect the internal hardware resources and personal files. Therefore, this requires personal server chassis must have, for example, side panel locks, alarms and other more hardware protection measures.

Likewise, the Patriot Moonlight Box Supreme King, which appears in the image of a personal server chassis, adopts an enhanced cooling air duct design with five fan positions reserved for strong heat dissipation. At the same time built-in two natural side panel fan racks, the fan using inward air extraction, while easy to install, easy to disassemble, unique front top fan of the reserved space, using outward blowing, enhanced cooling air duct design, all-around convection, increasing the performance of long-time use of the guarantee. In terms of radiation shielding and anti-theft, the Supreme King chassis also has a good performance.

3, intimate human design

Personal server chassis every day to accompany the user's work and entertainment, more humane design and care. For example, convenient USB, audio interface design, easy to disassemble the tool-free design, full folding edge design. In addition, because of personal use, compared to the large server chassis calm tone and style, should be more lively and bright.

Like the Moonlight Box Supreme King will have a good way to disassemble, using the design of the provincial screws, whether it is a 3.25-inch hard disk and 5.25-inch optical drive rail-type frame, assembly, disassembly, expansion, all tool-free design; chassis side panels in front of the panel fan filters can be removed and cleaned; but if you are not the owner of the machine, the chassis embodies the role of escorting you again. Supreme King's side panel in the disassembly of the first to unscrew the screws on the back, and then hidden in the front panel behind the mechanism to open, so in the mechanism and the panel lock is set in the closed state, the safety performance is completely guaranteed.

The most prominent Patriot Supreme King is the material it uses, the use of 1mm imported high-grade electrolytic galvanized rust-proof steel plate, this chassis allows consumers to have a "heavy" feeling, in the purchase of 13.65kg can feel the sense of trust, well-balanced, good anti-radiation, anti-jamming ability, cast a new generation of personal servers. The new generation of personal server chassis casting a new standard.
